Revel in the Chaos

Conceived in 2025, Revel in the Chaos are a mismatched core band from Greater Vancouver, pulling together vastly different backgrounds, influences, and personalities. Their debut EP, Final Bow, was recorded with Emily Ryan at Rain City Recorders and released in 2026 alongside a run of shows through Vancouver’s independent venues, introducing a sound shaped as much by industrial East Van and the North Shore mountains as by their favourite artists. Influences include; Deftones, Billy Talent, Nine Inch Nails, Oceansize, Tool and many more

 

Cursed Words

Cursed Words is an all queer, Pop-Punk band from Vancouver BC. Cursed Words are setting their 10 combined years of industry experience to work bringing the music they are passionate about to the stage: biting hooks and crooked pop lyricism wrapped in all-out high energy punk performance. Grit and glamour combine to captivate audiences and stand out in a crowded artistic landscape. Through bold visuals, striking performances, and provocative subject matter, they connect with audiences on a visceral level, inspiring them to think, feel, and engage with the world in new and meaningful ways. They push boundaries with each new composition and their music is sure to leave a lasting impact on the art world and beyond.

 

Dusty Pines

Dusty Pines is an all-female band of middle aged moms and a scientist based in Surrey, BC living out their rock’n’roll dreams one vicious riff at a time - one bitterly jaded song after another. Fronted by the charismatic and exceptionally talented Dusty Chipura (formerly Kill Matilda, The Hillbettys), alongside heavy artillery Jess GoldieRox on lead guitar (Triple Fisting, MG Graveyard), system management bass guitarist Lina Machina (The Shit Talkers) and certified tour mom drummer Kelsey Baldwin (The Hillbettys, MG42s) these empowered women will rock your mismatched socks off with their blend of punk rock, blues, post punk rock n roll.  Believe it when we say Dusty Pines is made up of the slimy waste of sludgy swamps, the prickliest thorns on a bush that bears no fruit, and the leftover crust of girlish hope. 

 

The Lily Dippers

The Lily Dippers are a 4-piece Canadian alternative rock group based around Vancouver, BC. Started in late 2019 by Brooks Garrett (vocals & guitar) and Shaughn Smith (percussion), the band lineup now includes the talents of Michael Elder (bass) and Max Phoenix (trumpet, piano, vocals). Pulling from inspirations in genres like surf, western and indie rock, The Lily Dippers have unapologetically created their own style. The band has been known for bringing their playful and energetic live shows through many of the popular music venues of across Vancouver.
