City: Kitchener-Waterloo
Genre: No Wave
The experimental no wave duo Frankie Teardrop, known for their unique live performances, have recorded their thought-provoking sound on their debut EP Black Grasshopper Stew. Driven by hypnotizing metronomic drum machines paired alongside guitars and vocals soaked in noise, distortion and feedback, the album is abrasive and anarchic, prioritizing an exploration of musical texture in exchange of traditional melodies. The album is available exclusively on Bandcamp.

Release Date: Nov. 14, 2025
City: Waterloo
Genre: Alternative Rock, Pop Punk
The female fronted rock band Red Carpet Revival returns with their newest single, “Bang Bang!” which features high energy riffs, anthemic vocals and hard-hitting lyrics. The song draws influence from the early 2000s alternative and emo scene, adding a modern twist to a nostalgic sound and assuring the track will find fans amongst the youth and elder emos alike.
