Grimelda and WAIT//LESS

WAIT//LESS

Fronted by Calgary transplant Rebecca White, WAIT//LESS is an adrenaline shot of organized garage punk chaos from the West Coast. Debut single “Another Year” sounds straight out of The Stooges’ Funhouse, with throaty gang vocals chanted over a gnarly riff that leaves it all on the floor.

Grimelda

The confrontational garage antics of Grimelda are a force to behold. Many artists have married the noise and punk genres, but so few have been so sludgy – and it's that low-end heaviness that sets these two rock goblins apart. It’s So Feeling When You Rock! is six songs of experimental punk chaos that sets the stage for another chaotic Sled Island set.

NATLAK

Experience the giddiness of noise-punk maximalism with NATLAK. This Western Canadian four-piece summons a whirlwind of distorted chaos on _EP 1_, smashing groove against the noise wall with discordance and raging energy that rides the seas of no-wave. You won’t believe how loud four people can get.

bugswallow

Like Frankenstein’s monster, members of Calgary’s DRI HIEV, Stucco and Tonk have created a country-meets-punk-meets-art-rock monster called bugswallow. Get ready to kick up your boots with some banjo twiddling, lap steel guitar tickling, and jug band bass playing when this new supergroup starts an early stampede.
