reject

Since storming onto the scene in August 2023, Saskatoon’s reject has become a driving force in local hardcore. Known for ferocious live shows, reject transforms any venue into an arena of unbridled chaos. 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.

Man Meat

A bleak and despondent blast of post-punk menace with a healthy appetite for chaos and dark greys. Equal parts compelling exhaustion and self-assured right-cross.

Macrodoser

Noise from the prairies

Fistfight HXC

A hardcore band from Regina, Saskatchewan, known for their fierce sound and powerful message. The band blends hardcore, metal, and punk, delivering an unrelenting, high-energy sound that reflects their journey of personal growth. Their live performances are a testament to their relentless spirit, with the band pouring everything into each show, creating an electric atmosphere that embodies the fight for personal evolution and the power of perseverance.

Where the Heart Is

Formed in Saskatoon in 2010, Where the Heart Is emerged from a close-knit group of friends driven by post-hardcore intensity and DIY ethics. After parting ways in 2015, the band lay dormant for nearly ten years. Now reunited, the founding brothers have returned with two new Saskatoon artists, re-igniting the project with fresh energy while staying rooted in the sound and spirit that started it all.

Broken Idols

“If Less Than Jake grew up shoveling horse shit in rural Saskatchewan, drinking Mountain Dew and playing Tony Hawk Pro Skater, you’d have Broken Idols”
– Will Y.

Fusarium

Fusarium species are plant pathogens causing various diseases such as crown rot, head blight, and scab on cereal grains. They may occasionally emit frequencies resembling Psychedelic Post-Rock causing infection in animals.
