SOUND⚡WAVES | Vol #21

Jan 13, 2021

We're pretty stoked about this volume of SOUND⚡WAVES. Like, more stoked than usual. There's some very special shit going on here.

First off. It's our first hardcore playlist. No grungy blues riffs or rockabilly twang here, folks. Just a face melting suplex of stellar post-hardcore, punk, screamo and hard effin' rock. We don't play this stuff in the shop, for obvious reasons. But we know a helluva lotta you grew up thrashing to this shit and still do when you get the chance.

Our girl DJ Waves packed this playlist full with a few of our good moto buds including Matt Tobin from Dead And Divine & RITUAL and Liam Cormier from Cancer Bats as well as some amazing local talent like Hamilton's own The Dirty Nil and, of course, the OG's Alexis On Fire.

And seeing as though Matt Tobin can be heard on numerous tracks in the playlist, it only seemed fitting to make him do the key artwork for it as well. We sent him the track listing late on a Sunday night and by Monday morning this rad AF album artwork was loitering in our inbox.

So, push yer stoopid ikea coffee table aside, crack a couple cold ones and mosh like mad to volume #21 of SOUND⚡WAVES. Might wanna put the kids to bed first tho...

Featuring:
Alexis On Fire, RITUAL, Cancer Bats, The Dirty Dil, Power Trip, Knocked Loose, Mastadon, The OBGMs, No Warning, Viagra Boys, Real CroMags, Brutus and more

Chopper life. Why do we do it? What drives us to strip a perfectly fine factory bike down its bare bits and build something entirely different in its place? It’s a compulsion born of late nights, the smell of angle grinder dust, and the burning desire to bleed your own identity into a machine. You don't just modify a bike like this; you exorcise it. For Colby Baker, the canvas was a 2006 Honda Shadow 600 VLX.

Thanks for 100,000 orders!!
Let’s get one thing straight right out of the gate. We have never given a damn about corporate milestones. The metric-obsessed, sterile, boardroom bullshit that most companies use to measure their worth—it has never been what we’re about, and it never will be.
