PALISSADE (Quebec PostPunk/Coldwave)
Coldwave/Darkwave/Goth/New Wave/Post-Punk.
Post-punk songs with heavy cold wave influences, some energetic and danceable songs, and others cold and introspective. The melancholic soundscapes, ethereal vocals and frantic rhythms intertwine to create the distinctive sound signature of the band.
THE RETROSPECTS (Ottawa New Wave SynthPop)
The Retrospects are a vibrant retro synthpop band that channels the quintessential sounds of the 1980's. Comprised of five members who share a passion for vintage synths and drum machines. The Retrospects play music that is both fun and nostalgic. The songs are built on sharp hooks, simple lyrics, and the overall positive vibe of late nights at the club watching bands. Each song serves as a time capsule, transporting listeners back to a decade known for its bold style and musical experimentation. The Retrospects not only replicate the era’s sound but also reimagine it, creating a modern twist on classic synthpop.
Featuring members of the New Calling, the White Wires, Bonnie Doon, Sleep Late, Million Dollar Marxists, the Giorgioz, and literally dozens more Ottawa bands.
GROUPE B (MTL Synth Punk)
"For those who seek musical kinship and find solace in the sonic expressions of Drab Majesty, the visionary prowess of St. Vincent, the enigmatic allure of Viagra Boys, the seductive grooves of Cobra Man, the introspective echoes of Dirty Beaches, and the raw energy of Warmduscher, Groupe B will undoubtedly become a cherished addition to their playlists. These influences, skillfully distilled and channelled through Groupe B’s singular artistic vision, create a soundscape that echoes sounds of the past but also defies conventions."
