KAKAGI
Kakagi is a new folk-rock outfit from Winnipeg, MB. Heavily influenced by other prairie songwriters, their sound has been described as "the folk-rock lovechild of Neil Young and The Weakerthans" Songs about Winnipeg winters, Toronto public transit, and Northern Manitoba skylines are combined with energetic live shows, and lingering melodies. Kakagi isn't trying to reinvent the wheel, rather focusing on keeping the wheel spinning, and seeing how far it takes them. Kakagi's debut EP, Pronounced: /Ke-Ka-Gi/ is out November 17th, 2016

TUSK
TUSK was formed in the spring of 2016 in Winnipeg, MB. Drawing from a wide array of influences, stereo guitars, searing vocals and swarms of effects engulf the listener in a wall of sound. From sculpted ambience to sharp tongues and fuzz pedals, TUSK envelopes its audience in atmosphere; a tonal journey through every performance. Their debut EP will be available in March 2017.

JUNE KILLING STONES
Hailing from Winnipeg, June Killing Stones is an Indie Rock/Jam Band with melodic hooks, passionate vocals and strong musicianship. Whether playing off of each other through collective improvisation or crafting energetic songs, this band has powerful dynamics that will take you on a journey through both the darkness and the light of the human spirit. 

AWAITING AN ANSWER
Formed in 2015, Awaiting the Answer is a five-piece metal band from Winnipeg, MB, Canada looking to push the envelope and bring together their different backgrounds to form their own flavor of metal. The group's main goal is setting out to do something different in the music scene. Their songs are characterized by catchy melodies, heavy hitting riffs and a wide range of vocals from soft and gentle to driving and energetic!
