Artists


Radioactivity

Dealing in fast, streamlined punk rock with ringing guitars, simple but effective melodic hooks, and a double dose of energy, Radioactivity were formed in 2013 by Jeff Burke and Mark Ryan, who had previously worked together in the well-respected garage punk band the Marked Men. Radioactivity began as a spinoff of the Novice, a band Burke worked with from 2010 to 2012 while he was living in Japan. When Burke returned to the United States and settled in Denton, Texas, he didn't want to let the songs he wrote for the Novice go to waste, so he reworked them and assembled a new band as a platform for the material. With Burke on guitar and vocals, Ryan on bass and vocals, Daniel Fried on guitar, and Gregory Rutherford on drums, Burke named the new band Radioactivity, and they cut a self-titled debut for Dirtnap Records that was released in October 2013. The group supported the album with live work, though they emphasized that they wanted to be known as a good band rather than a good local band, and aimed for quality over quantity when booking shows. Radioactivity's second album, Silent Kill, was released by Dirtnap on June 30, 2015. Bassist Orville Neeley replaced Ryan in 2016.

Real Sickies

Still a handful of snot.

Sister Suzie

Sultry summer nights, cruising on a hot dog date, semi-professional wrestling, and open liquor in your jacket - all the sounds of Sister Suzie, Edmonton’s junkshop sweethearts. Driving from stomping glam, biting punk rock n’ roll, and pub rock hooks, the Suze’s duelling switchblade guitars layer with Andrea’s vocals for 70’s inspired sugary-tough tunes…like the soundtrack to the getaway from a candy store smash-and-grab.

Lacerator

Lacerator was formed in 2017 by vocalist Gavin Beaulieu, drummer Eric Grovestine, and guitarist Ben Nickerson in their high school music class. Later that year, Lacerator added guitarist Michael Nobrega, while bassist Zak Wurtz joined the band in 2019. Over the past seven years, Lacerator has become a regular fixture in the Edmonton underground metal and hardcore scene, taking pride in their high-energy live shows.
Lacerator’s sound has been influenced by artists ranging from classic thrash and death metal to hardcore punk to anything and everything under the rock umbrella. In particular, Lacerator would cite Motörhead, Death, Sodom, Lamb of God, Rage Against the Machine, and the Dead Kennedys as significant influences on their sound.
After releasing two EPs, Lacerator will soon be unleashing their debut full-length album, “Tyrants of the New Age,” in early 2024.
