Black Ends (Seattle) is Nicolle Swims (guitar, vocals), Ben Swanson (bass), and Billie Paine (drums). Black Ends’ self-described gunk pop is about as sweet as that wad of asphalt-crusted bubblegum you found stuck on the bottom of your favorite boots. Much like the legendary grunge bands that influenced the Seattle trio, Black Ends is artfully adept at smothering catchy pop and rock structures with toxic levels of grime; but please don’t call them “grunge”.

Gadfly (Vancouver) is the brainchild of Iranian artist Homa Khoshnavaz, who created the band as a way to express her displeasure at the treatment of women in her country. She pours her anger and frustration into creating a strained and heavy sound that dabbles in noisy psychedelia. With Nigel Young on drums and Raine Menard on bass, the trio keep things tight, yet right on the edge of chaos. Keep an eye out for them as they continue to play shows across Canada, drop the occasional single, and never let go of the notion of woman, life, freedom.

Conjure Hand (Victoria) is a local Heavy Southern Rock, Blues & Soul band formed. Fronted by Black Caesar, Conjure Hand's music bellows the tales of African American and Canadian history, voodoo and working class struggles. Black Caesar is backed by The Shah on guitar, Vince Dupuis’ psychedelic organs, Duncan Chisholm's thunderous drums, and Victor Horne’s rolling basslines that keep it all glued together. Black Caesar delivers lyrics are rich in history and storytelling, evoking perseverance, strife, self-determination and the Black struggle.

Standard Issue Pleasure Model (Victoria) is the psychedelic garage-rock outfit of Shea Morgan and Raine Balson. Supported by Ben DeCicco (drums) and Josh Egert (bass) in the rhythm section, Standard Issue Pleasure Model's glam-grunge energy has propelled themselves throughout the underground scene for nearly 10 years. Raine channels energies of the great frontwomen of the seventies, delivering passionate, fresh, and captivating performances. Stay tuned as they work on their 2nd album, “Trip-sitter.”
