Sean Davis Newton

His upbringing in the small prairie city of North Battleford, Saskatchewan is felt throughout his songs, which use the sights and sounds of the Canadian prairies to talk about decay, identity, class, and climate change.

NERV|US

From Edmonton, NERV|US is a fresh take on Indie Rock/Pop. The three guitarists allow the band to create an atmosphere for the complex riffs to sit with contrasting vocal tones. NERV|US was formed in 2021 and later released their debut single “Weak” at the beginning of 2022.

Misfortune Tellers

Misfortune Tellers are a hard-hitting four-piece pop-punk, emo band from Edmonton, defined by their emotionally raw lyrics and twinkly guitar riffs mixed with shredding guitar solos and punk rock drum fills.
