Cricket - You're Too Cool


Cricket was founded by lead vocalist and front man Graham Cennon and guitar player and vocalist Justin Brooks, in summer of 2009. Brooks and Cennon, being friends for years, had played in numerous local Regina bands. The decision made for this band was to keep the music simple, but to the point. Hard hitting harmonies with catchy guitar riffs."Music that makes you feel without over complicating things". After recruiting drummer "Justin Burrows" and bass player "Dave Calvert", the band recorded and released their debut EP "Take Cover "in June of 2009.
Quickly gaining common ground and fan support, Cricket then opened for Fat Wreck artists "The Mad Caddies" in November of 2009. Since then, they have recorded and released their full length album "220 beats per minute" on their label "3 Legged Dog Studios" In April of 2011.
They have completed multiple tours throughout western and eastern Canada and have shared the stage with bands such as Mad Caddies, Authority Zero, Pennywise, The Misfits, Strung Out, Riverboat Gamblers, Death By Stereo,Booze Cruise, Loaded Dice, Soiled Doves, and many others.
In August 2012 the band plans to release their first compilation cd entitled "If riffs could kill volume 1" with other local bands across Canada on their label "3 Legged Dog Studios".
Cricket has recorded 3 more new songs for this compilation. Talk of a second full length album to be released in early 2013. On April 8th 2013 ,Cricket welcomed new guitarist Nic Swaok to the band. The band has parted ways with guitarist Justin Brooks.


Adelleda - Beauville




After sharing the stage with such honourable acts as Death By Stereo, No Trigger and Mute, to name a few, it's no surprise that Hamilton, Ontario's Adelleda are continuing to raise the bar in the Canadian punk scene. 

 Already 3 releases deep into their short career, they have proven themselves as one of the hardest working acts in the area. Organizing shows, accommodating touring bands and promoting, are only a few ways that Adelleda keeps paying into punk rock karma. 

 The title of their latest release, Distress, accurately describes the 8 exciting tracks that will keep you up all night. Engineered by Nick Blagona (Protest The Hero, Alexisonfire, Cancer Bats), Distress is a sure fire front to back album, oozing with all of the key ingredients to a Melodic Hardcore album.  Be sure to get your FREE copy HERE and check them out in a town near you on the road Spring 2014. 

Curbside - Sleepyhead


Kitchener, Ontario fast-as-fuck melodic punk.

Beer Stain, Handshake! - Custer's Last One Night Stand

Formed during a Bouncing Souls show in 2012, these beardy punks play a not-so-unique but awesome brand of punk rock and their influences are quite obvious.  These are the guys who attend your band’s shows and buy your merch. Beer Stain, Handshake! plays songs about shitty ex-girlfriends, the Suicide Machines and their annual excursion to the Fest in Gainesville.  They rehearse here and there and would be happy to explain to you how they came to get their name.

Attention Anyone - On These Days



















We’re a band! More specifically we are a band called Attention Anyone from Barrie, Ontario; consisting of four long time friends who share a love for 90′s style punk rock. Wearing our influences on our sleeves, we’ve set out to make music that is reminiscent of the bands you loved in high school.
Taking influence from 90′s staples such as Canada’s own Gob, 90′s hereoes Green Day, and MXPX - tossed in with the more contemporary sounds of the likes of Banner Pilot, the Menzingers, and Off With Their Heads.
We eloped to the jam space to begin writing what would become out debut EP – "This Just In" in early 2013. With the final nails currently being tacked in to place, Attention Anyone’s debut release and merch line will be ready to roll out late summer of 2013 with many shows to follow suit.
With a knack for writing catchy hooks and vocal melodies which beg you to shout along - our end goal is to make music that is as easy to sing along to as it is to bang your head to.

Dead To Rights - Asshole TV




Dead to Rights was the result of a need to start from scratch, and put together a new band with a novel concept: musicians that wanted to make the kind of music they wanted to hear, musicians that didn't care if they ever made a dime from a song. Hand picked people with a shared goal, regardless of talent or past glory. What Jer, DG, Sterling and Matt have created together are personal anthems of heartbreaks and headaches, hard times and crossed lines, city limits and personal ones. A throwback to the '94 west coast punk sound of Pulley, Good Riddance and RKL, modernized with metal infused leads and timing, Dead To Rights is the music you always sat around wishing someone still played.


June & July - Soda



We never grew out of the music we listened to in high school. No gimmicks, no dances, no fancy haircuts. Just four guys having fun. For fans of: cheap beer, double time and 90′s pop-punk.


Booze Cruise - Self Appointed leader


Since forming in early 2010, Booze Cruise has refused to rest. Less than a year after their inception, the band was sitting on the release of their first LP, Moose Stuff. The record saw its unveiling in the summer of 2011, and has since been treated to a full release in Japan, via Bells On Records, distribution in the United Kingdom via Disconnect Disconnect Records, and has seen sales all over the world. While the songs of Moose Stuff were being featured on various podcasts and radio shows around the world, Booze Cruise was on the road, spending the fall of that year touring clear across their home nation.
The start of 2012 has seen Booze Cruise continue on a similarly prolific path. The year has already seen the release of an EP, No Big Deal, as well as their inclusion on several compilation albums at home and abroad and a western Canadian tour. With plans to flesh out the year with more tours and more new music, Booze Cruise looks to finish off this biography with a hard-hitting, memorable sentence.
