History Of Gunpowder// 

The History of Gunpowder is a freak-out ensemble from Montreal, now based in Vancouver, with an ever-changing cast of members that put on unpredictable, chaotic live shows. A staple of the Canadian live scene, The History is devoted to constantly pushing the envelope on stage and in the studio and has built a community around them that consists of some of the best musicians in Canada. They are set to release a string of live-videos and works from a residency project of compositions centered around a 19th century pipe organ in anticipation of their upcoming record, The Epileptic Vol. II, supporting a 2022 European Tour. The group’s line up is expanding to reach new musical heights along with a different featured artist that makes an appearance every show, ensuring a unique experience every time they hit the stage.

Voted #6 in the TOP 10 BEST BANDS IN MONTREAL category in Cult Magazine

"Ive had the pleasure of witnessing the insanely creative and powerful force which is History of Gunpowder. From Alex's emotive and jaw-dropping vocals to the bands energy and crowd interaction, H.O.G stands out in the Canadian music scene as a top tier act not to be missed!"
- Tayo Branston ~ Five Alarm Funk

"This is a band with a reputation for explosive psychedelia and freaky theatrics, but while there were no surprise drop-ins from burlesque artists at this particular gig, guitarist and vocalist Alex James Morison brought plenty of thunder with his own strings, howls, and showmanship. With the throat of Nick Cave and the wardrobe of a zoot suit scarecrow, Morison stalks the stage like he’s possessed by his guitar, wandering feverishly through the many twists and turns of songs like the dynamic highlight and set-closer 'Buenos Aires'."
- Dan Corber, Montreal Rocks

"Frontman Alex Morison’s voice has become something both horrifying and enthralling. For a man under fifty to have beaten his throat into such a state inspires strong awe, mild concern, and just a hint of jealousy – his suffering voice conveys disdain brilliantly. The images he breathes carry connotations of misery, vice, trickery, and guilt posing as aggression; the images he breathes very nearly fit the “whiskey band” stereotype but betray a deeper poeticism, inspired by all the writers you claim to love but secretly find impenetrable. After years of depreciating in traditional beauty and appreciating in aesthetic roughness, he has finally hit the point of no return and it is truly glorious."
- John Julius, Beatroute Magazine, Graphite Publications

Bad Magic//

Bad Magic is a band. They put on a high energy, engaging live show having routed the west coast up and down consistently drawing people into their twisted and charming world and plan to extend the reach of their audience as touring opens back up.

They write songs, recording their debut singles Miss Ramona and Fool Underwater in 2019 at legendary Hipposonic Studios in Vancouver BC only 3 months into forming the band. The session, with Jeff Zipp of Light Machine Records at the helm, spawned the bands’ debut dual single effort. The band released each single with an accompanying music video, self-produced, filmed and edited by the band themselves and a small group of renegade videographers. Both Miss Ramona and Fool Underwater have been praised for their visual portrayal of a colorful and narrative-driven debut effort, the latter of which was nominated as a finalist in the 2020 Canadian Indie Music Video Awards.

As the band prepares to enter the studio in the spring of 2021 at Raincity Recorders with acclaimed producer Matt Roach for a new EP they have been busy polishing the songs that have carried them through the pandemic and hope to share a deeper, heavier side of themselves and their musical prowess: feel your way through the darkness and get you dancing with your shadow.
