About this Event
The Cobalt presents The OBGMs with Chronic Fatigue and Dead End Drive-In.
The OBGMs (Toronto, ON)
Toronto punk trio The OBGMs have spent nearly two decades building one of the most electrifying live shows in Canadian music. JUNO-nominated and shortlisted for the Polaris Music Prize twice, including for their critically acclaimed 2020 album The Ends, recorded with GRAMMY-winning producer Dave Schiffman, the band has shared stages with Death from Above 1979, played SXSW, Afropunk, and Riot Fest, and earned praise from Kerrang!, Brooklyn Vegan, and The Toronto Star along the way. Punk music with soul, anthems built to fill rooms twice this size, and a live show that fills every inch of whatever space they're in.
Chronic Fatigue (Vancouver, BC)
Vancouver DIY punk four-piece featuring members of local mainstays Kid Lucifer, The Khans, and Bloom Shack. Known for explosive, interactive, mosh-friendly live shows, they blend punk and hardcore with post-punk, metal, and experimental hip-hop influences like JPEGMAFIA and Death Grips. Their 2024 EP Surrender to Serenity and recent protest single Who's Next, the first taste of their debut full-length, show a band that is only getting sharper.
Dead End Drive-In (Vancouver, BC)
Vancouver punks with a reputation for Guinness-fuelled chaos, and yes, they're the one with the three guitar players. Dead End Drive-In mix folk punk, skate punk, and garage rock with introspective lyrics that give you something to think about between the chanting, dancing, and moshing. Their latest album, What a Neighbourly World, is their biggest-sounding yet, out now on Early Onset Records.
