Formed in 2018 in Red Deer, Alberta, Safety Gear has been a staple for Pop Punk and Post Hardcore in the local scene. Overcoming member changes, adversity and a pandemic, they are still going strong and continue to push themselves to bring you fast paced, hard hitting tear jerkers. Their debut Self Titled EP is set to be released in the summer of 2022 on High End Denim Records.

Downstater is a punk rock quartet hailing straight from Quebec City. Melding the essence of rock music with punk rawness, this melodic achievement exhibits the trail of a spirited and raging youth with words expressed without compromise. While the songs deal with nostalgia, anger and resentment, the band’s introspective writing reveals a will to give sense to all these aches and wounds in order to live,not to say survive. Bringing back honest music to the forefront, Downstater is an illustrative collection of melancholy-fueled indie rock songs pouring with emotion and integrity.

Jean-Philippe Lagacé (Guitar/Vocals)
