Prepare for a cosmic thrashing assault! Cruzer are a ragtag group of intergalactic rebels hellbent on crafting the sickest tunes for cruzing down the interstellar highway. Featuring the celestial vocals of Eric Willmott, the duelling cosmic shreddage of Ben Higgins & Nico Miraftab, and the planet-crushing rhythm section of Alex Gain (drums) and Esteban Lleuful (bass); their debut EP, "Look to the Skies," is available on all streaming platforms and bandcamp now! https://www.instagram.com/cruzermuzik/ https://www.facebook.com/cruzermuzik https://open.spotify.com/artist/7lpxHDuZAtCjtqR1qzVvze SPACE QUEEN Space Queen is the stoner rock power trio evolution of Jenna Earle (guitar/vocals), Seah Maister (bass/vocals) and Karli MacIntosh (drums/vocals.) Space Queen takes the trio’s signature haunting vocal harmonies and sends them soaring over a cosmic canvas of neo-psychedelic hard rock. Driving beats from MacIntosh provide an anchor for Earle’s heavy distortion and 70s-style riffs, while Maister keeps everything grounded on fuzzed-out, gnarly bass. https://www.instagram.com/wearespacequeen https://www.facebook.com/wearespacequeen https://open.spotify.com/artist/1ZUgV2Mlgn6YnVWdnH3Pux ABANDONED YESTERDAY Abandoned Yesterday is a raw and unapologetic emo/heavy alternative band from Vancouver, BC.
