Bringing an unapologetic energy that hits like a sledgehammer, reject’s raw intensity will shatter any hesitation to get in the pit.


Slow Down Molasses
Over the course of five full-length albums and dozens of tours across North America, the United Kingdom and Europe, Saskatoon’s Slow Down Molasses has seamlessly evolved from blissed-out dream pop and hazy Americana into a noise drenched rock act falling somewhere between the bruising post-punk of Mission Of Burma and the cerebral spectrum of hardcore, landing somewhere between the rosters of Matador and Dischord Records.
