TRAITRS (Toronto Coldwave/Post-Punk)
With their cinematic blend of horror-based imagery, anthemic choruses, motorik drum loops, atmospheric synths and angular guitars, Canadian cold wave duo TRAITRS stare unflinchingly at our dystopian present while paying homage to artists from the post-punk past. In the decade since their debut record to now, the Toronto-based TRAITRS have gone from bedroom artists selling cassette tapes on a small boutique record label to accumulating millions of streams worldwide and performing hundreds of shows on massive stages across multiple continents. With their much-anticipated new album Possessor, produced by long-time collaborator Josh Korody (The Beaches, The Dirty Nil, Japandroids, Tanya Taqaq, F*cked Up) and mastered by Matt Colton (The Cure, Depeche Mode, Fontaines D.C., Wet Leg, Dua Lipa, Blur etc), TRAITRS continue to develop their melancholic sound and imagery with the emotional follow up to 2021’s critically acclaimed LP Horses in the Abattoir.

TOUCHED FABLES - (Ottawa DarkWave)
is a post-punk / darkwave duo from Ottawa, Canada, formed in 2022 by Paul Anthony and Jim Roditis. They are known for their dark melodic synths, angular guitar tones, and lyrics exploring themes of nostalgia, loss and isolation. The music of TOUCHED FABLES reverberates with Gothic echoes of Cold War bands such as Bauhaus, Clan Of Xymox, Ultravox, as well as the industrial beats of Front Line Assembly.
