La Sécurité (Montréal/Tiohtià:ke) is a collective whose art punk is equal parts: jumpy beats, off-kilter arrangements and minimalistic melodic hooks. The music is all about living dangerously, perfectly agreeable to being blasted onto dancefloors; while the lyrics share the ethos of the Riot Grrrl movement, and celebrate the autonomization of women, friends (mean and nice) as well as benevolence. These five scattered, yet creatively concerted entities also propose a wide arsenal of D.I.Y. music videos, visuals, screenprints, patented dance moves, etcetera! Debut album Stay Safe! (June 16th, 2023 via Mothland) showcases songs that are empowering, flush with urgency, but also denote a dash of melancholia. Bill Pearis from BrooklynVegan describes the long-player as “an enticing batch of party-friendly jams shouted in sneering Franglais that recall everything from Le Tigre to Neu! to Kleenex/Liliput (also Montreal’s Duchess Says)”. As they gear up for upcoming US dates in the Winter of 2025, La Sécurité offer us a second single via British imprint Bella Union, French scorcher “Ketchup” (January 28th, 2025), also available on the other side of the pond via boutique label Mothland (CA/US).
