The Dreadnoughts

The Dreadnoughts began to play folk-punk in 2007 with a single goal: to make enough money at shows to cover the cost of shots of Fireball Whiskey at Vancouver’s notoriously seedy Ivanhoe Hotel. Ten years on and counting, they can boast of four studio albums, two EPs, and hundreds of unforgettable live shows spanning the globe. They’ve blended punk rock and a bunch of European folk traditions with a power and range that few other groups can match. And it’s been a blast.

Balkan Shmalkan

Balkan Shmalkan is East Vancouver’s sweet dance party orchestra; think global music with local attitude. Their funky brass dance beats are rooted in the aural traditions of the Roma and Klezmorim of Eastern Europe and blended with a mixture of pop and jazz.

The Still Spirits

The Still Spirits are a 6 piece busking band from the back roads of Maple Ridge. They play an intoxicating blend of punk/folk/bluegrass. You can usually find them playing out front of local liquor stores, on street corners & being kicked out of local pubs. Always ready with a flask of Shine & a hat full of change, these boys have got the tune to put you in that olde time mood.

The Corps

The Corps are an intense force of circle pit melodic punk rock. Fast guitars, blast beat drums, and heavy bass are matched with layers of vocal harmonies, ready for singing along while moshing in the crowd. Hints of Lagwagon, NOFX, and Propaganghi are present, but The Corps maintain their own style, telling tales of life, politics, and social issues through the guise of your favourite superheroes.
