UNTO OTHERS - Never, Neverland North American Tour 2024

Gothic heavy metal band from Portland, Unto Others, released their triumphant new LP, "Never, Neverland" in September and now, the band announce a North American tour in support of the album with a stop at Jackknife Brewing in Kelowna on November 17!

UNTO OTHERS

Unto Others emerged in the summer of 2017 from the creative vision of singer-songwriter Gabriel Franco. Originally named Idle Hands, the group quickly gained traction in the underground scene with their blend of old-school heavy metal, goth, new wave and post-punk. Their debut EP “Don’t Waste Your Time” received critical acclaim and led to a European tour, earning accolades from major metal publications.

The band’s debut full-length album “Mana” was released in 2019 and marked a significant milestone, garnering positive reviews and impressive streaming numbers. This was followed by the powerful “Strength” in 2021. In 2024, Unto Others released their highly anticipated third album, “Never, Neverland”, which has positioned them as a band on the verge of something unholy and massive.

Unto Others’ live shows are electrifying spectacles that captivate audiences with their dark yet melodic brand of gothic and heavy metal. As they embark on extensive tours across the US and Europe, they continue to build a dedicated fanbase, reinforcing their status as key players in contemporary heavy metal.

HIPPIE DEATH CULT
Hippie Death Cult have been described as “a journey through shameless and triumphant artistic expression, exploration and discovery” in the realms of psychedelia and riff-heavy rock n’ roll. The band hails from Portland, Oregon and during their formative years they have transitioned from a 4 piece to a more consonant power trio consisting of guitarist Eddie Brnabic, vocalist/bassist Laura Phillips and drummer Harry Silvers. In 2019 they signed to Cursed Tongue Records for the release of “111” then in 2021 signed to Heavy Psych Sounds Records to release “Circle of Days” and the Doom Sessions Vol.5 split. Both full-length albums received international critical acclaim while debuting at #1 on the Doom Charts.

The band is also known for their high energy and passionate stage performances, having performed to audiences across America, Canada and Europe. They are currently in production for their 3rd studio album and are set to announce extensive tours to follow. You can find them on:

KADABRA
The band formed during the dark days of 2020 and were quickly signed by Heavy Psych Sounds, who released Ultra in the fall of 2021 and established the band’s penchant for delivering crushing doom riffs and haunting vocals accentuated by bursts of psychedelic flair and swampy Americana swagger. And while the chemistry of long-time friends Garrett Zanol (guitar/vocals), Ian Nelson (bass) and Chase Howard (drums) was apparent upon listening to their debut, their bond was further strengthened by relentlessly touring the western United States and completing a month-long tour of Europe.

The trio almost immediately began looking forward, road-testing and crystalizing the songs that would comprise their follow-up, which found the band reuniting with Ultra producer Dawson Scholz. The result is Umbra: a singular statement that is more focused and cohesive than its predecessor, while managing to capture the immersive, free-flowing experience of their live show. Umbra is set to release on October 6 via Heavy Psych Sounds Records.

Stone Spear (Kelowna, BC)

Pulley is a California-based punk rock band. Formed in 1994, and based in Simi Valley, CA.

We Are Not A Cult is a punk rock religious experience from the Okanagan.

Set To Strike is a five-piece skate punk band, found its roots in Kelowna, BC back in November 2022. With Geoff Duck's vocals leading the charge, Aaron Parser and Chris Kearney on guitars and background vocals, Jay Beston on bass, and Scott Watson on drums, they form a tight-knit unit fueled by their shared passion for music.

The band focused on crafting original compositions and in the winter of 2023/24, they entered Meteor Studios to start recording. The first singles are set to be released summer 2024, teasing the forthcoming album. They've been spreading their sound, playing live shows supporting fellow artists Lush Rusty, Acidic Piss and No Comply.

Their influences include Bad Religion, Pennywise, Strung Out, Pulley and Chaser.

Chicago-based Dominican punk rockers LA ARMADA rip the dungeon on Friday September 27 on a small, select run of Western Canadian dates. With the recent addition of Propagandhi's Sulynn on guitar, the band is as fast and hard-hitting as ever!

The bill features local support by NO COMPLY who are quickly making their mark on the scene and BRAIN FOG, the Okanagan's newest hardcore band.

SINGLE MOTHERS broke up in 2009, 2011, 2015 and have been playing shows ever since.

Their first LP Negative Qualities was recorded twice and came out in 2014. Then, as Single Mothers were picking up speed, they fell apart and started over.

Now, 10 years later - in celebration of the record that tried to kill them, they’re back to play it in full. “These are the best songs from the worst years of my life." Thomson recounts, “and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

The NEGATIVE QUALITIES X tour will see the band performing the album in its entirety over a 2-month trek across North America and joined by SPITE HOUSE across Western Canada.

SPITE HOUSE is one of those bands born out of intuition. Vocalist Maxime Lajoie (guitar and vocals) cites the unexpected death of his mother as the spark to dig into his desire to sing for a band and ignite an old idea between former friend and schoolmate Marc Tremblay (drums). Shortly after, the two had fallen into a cohesive writing rhythm of tracks bearing influences such as Samiam, Jawbreaker and Seaweed with a modern flair. The band’s sonic trajectory was cemented with the inclusion of Nabil Ortega (bass), who also shared a mutual love for the band’s list of influences.

The band has wasted no time. Since their inception they have hit the ground running and have been hungry to create. In February, the band released their “3 Song Promo” that caught mention and interest ranging from casual music fans to the ears of music journalists at places such as BrooklynVegan. What was heard on these promo tracks is reinforced on their upcoming LP, “Spite House”. The LP boasts 10 full post-hardcore tracks shaped by modern introspection and the curiosities of life. While this is Max Lajoie’s first time fronting a band, lyrically and vocally he delivers. Max’s wide vocal stylings offer listeners a glimpse into the emotions put into each line and driven home by the musicianship of the band as a unit.

SUICIDE FOREST

During the Summer of 2016, what started as a one man DSBM project released its first demo, made available for free download on Bandcamp. Influenced by Depressive/Suicidal black metal projects such as Shining, Thy Light, Xasthur, and Make a Change…Kill Yourself, the music of Suicide Forest has been described as highly atmospheric, depressive black metal that incorporates elements of 20th century classical and particularly, minimalism. Although all the music of Suicide Forest continues to be written and recorded by A. Kruger, to this day it has evolved into much more than a one man project. Through the realization of dedicated live members, the music of Suicide Forest can be taken to the stage.

SVNEATER

Their most recent album, 2021’s "Chinook" improved on their original sound, which honed in on their musicality and unique approach, was met with critical success. "Chinook" boosted their Spotify figures to over 1,000 monthly listeners in August, reaching #5 on Bandcamp’s “New and Notable” for atmospheric black metal, and charting at #33 on Amazon’s Global New Releases for Hard Rock & Metal, and #57 on Itunes Metal Albums for the United States.

SPACE QUEEN is the stoner rock evolution of power trio Jenna Earle (guitar/vocals), Seah Maister (bass/keys/vocals) and Karli MacIntosh (drums/vocals).

Space Queen takes the trio’s signature haunting vocal harmonies sends them soaring over a cosmic canvas of neo-psychedelic rock. Driving beats from MacIntosh provide an anchor for Earle’s heavy distortion and 70s-style riffs, while Maister keeps everything grounded on fuzzed-out, gnarly bass.

The band released their debut EP in 2020 which garnered a ton of favourable press and college radio play, including landing on the Earshot charts. Space Queen was featured on Nardwuar The Human Serviette’s radio show for a month leading up to their EP release.

Space Queen has thrived in 2021-2024 by opening for bands such as King Buffalo, Blackwater Holylight, Meatbodies, Cancer Bats, Acid Mothers Temple, The Well, Mondo Drag, RIP, Spirit Mother, Black Mastiff and The Pack A.D.

The band also hit multiple festival stages including Massif Music fest, Tune it down, Turn it up Festival, Electric Highway, Rock 'n' Roll Pride, and Fallen Fest.

Space Queen toured Western Canada in March 2023 and again in November 2023. SQ’s sophomore EP “Nebula” was released in the Spring of 2023, followed by a cross Canada tour in May/June with festival stops at NXNE and Vantopia. Nebula landed on best of 2023 lists by The Obelisk and Diary Of Doom.

2024 will see the band do their first foray into the US, with a west coast tour from Vancouver to Los Angeles, as well as recording their first full length album.

Hailing from the scenic Okanagan Valley, DOWN THE LEES is a formidable post-noise-rock outfit led by Laura Lee Schultz. Originating as Schultz's solo project in Vancouver, the band has evolved into a dynamic trio, featuring Andy Ashley on drums and Chris Carlson on bass.

Their journey includes multiple albums, an EP, and singles, with highlights such as the acclaimed 'Bury The Sun' recorded by Steve Albini. Notable performances led to sharing stages with Brutus, Chastity, Dead Bob, and a tour invitation with the Sisters of Mercy in Italy.

Their latest EP, produced by Jesse Gander of Raincity Recorders, dropped on May 3, 2024, with the lead single 'Douse' winning Best Song at the OSIF Awards. Down The Lees continues to carve their niche with a blend of thunderous guitars and pulsating rhythms, showcasing resilience and musical prowess amidst global chaos.
