A confrontational, camp and seductive dramaturge. Slash Need have earned a reputation for putting on high-energy theatrical live performances. Heralded as the most talked about touring act in Canada, their commanding style of propulsive techno and metallic EBM serve as the backdrop to an unpredictable, ever-changing, and communal performance piece. Their debut album, SIt & Grin, is a blistering industrial debut, as unapologetic and brash as it is groundbreaking.
Following a viral bout of unplanned, and gratifying, attention from right wing media in 2023 after their lore-making performance at Toronto Pride, the group has developed a cult following. (A widely-circulated video earned 2.3 million views with one comment calling the group ”nasty, filthy perverts”.) Conjuring the essence of cherry red lipstick smudged on the rim of a spilled energy drink, baby powder masquerading as Chanel perfume; pheromones, smoke machines, and crossed wires, Toronto’s Slash Need is an invitation to demand more.
We have released three EPs, two singles and one video album. Our first full length album, “Sit and Grin” came out October 21, 2025. We’re starting off the new year with a three week tour through the EU/UK.
Durex is a hardcore punk band based in Montreal. They’ve been playing together since 2023. Angry, funny, noisy, high energy, and a little yucky. No smoke break or you’ll miss being yelled at by some freak.
Post-punk rockers Ancient Greece hail from the underworld of the Toronto music scene. This is the odyssey of a band stitched together not just by music but by camaraderie and a penchant for the anarchic. Raspy echoes, beating drums, guttural chords, and sharp melodic riffs weave tales of urban decay and what it means to be chewed up, swallowed alive, and come out the other end kicking and screaming.
