DEAD SOFT
Emerging from British Columbia’s indie underground in the early 2010s, Dead Soft is a grunge-punk band known for their fuzzed-out, intense rock sound infused with melodic sensibility and introspective lyrics. Nathaniel Epp (vocals, guitar) and Keeley Rochon (bass, vocals) hail from the small northern town of Prince Rupert, where their early musical influences included ’90s indie rock and artists like Elliott Smith and the Replacements. After moving south to Victoria, they officially formed Dead Soft in 2011 before relocating to Vancouver. The band released a self-titled debut album in 2014 and built a reputation through relentless touring and a series of acclaimed EPs.
In 2018, Dead Soft signed with the prominent Toronto label Arts + Crafts, releasing the New Emotion EP and their widely visible second LP, Big Blue (2019), which showcased a heavier fuzz-pop sound and themes of personal transformation. Recently, the band wrapped up recording their third full-length album and are preparing for its upcoming release, promising to deliver another powerful chapter in their evolving grunge-punk journey.

ELECTRIC BRAINS
Power pop, punk rock and roll from qathet BC! Anyone fortunate enough to catch the sold out Dead Bob show last year at the Waverly will recall the rawkus punk rock celebration that was the opening act Electric Brains (then called the Kicks) who worked the room into a frenzy. Electric Brains count among their members a certain Sean Hawryluk, a crucial member of both Kelowna/Vancouver’s legendary Ladyhawk, and then hardcore metal pathcutters Baptists.
