Bad Waitress
Bad Waitress is what happens when you spill your drink, flip the table, and still leave a tip. Emerging from Toronto’s vibrant underground, the four-piece punk band — Kali-Ann Butala (her/she) Katelyn Molgard (they/them) , Moon (they/he), and Nicole Cain (her/she) — has redefined modern garage punk with a sound that’s ferocious, clever, and unapologetically alive.
Their 2018 debut EP Party Bangers: Volume 1 announced them with snarling riffs, biting satire, and anthemic rawness that refused to be ignored. In 2021, the band sharpened their edge with No Taste, a full-length release that fused the urgency of early punk with jagged post-punk textures and radical honesty. Exclaim! praised the album as “a new type of rage,” calling it a self-defence record built on noise, rebellion, and conviction.
Renowned for their explosive live shows, Bad Waitress channels the confrontational spirit of acts like The Stooges, Fugazi, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs while remaining unmistakably their own. Their latest single, “Plan B” (2025), signals a grittier, self-produced next chapter.
With a new album slated for release in 2026, Bad Waitress is pushing further into louder, sharper territory — reaffirming their relentless commitment to the stage and to songs that demand participation.
Bad Waitress doesn’t play nice — they play loud. No refills. No apologies.

The OBGMs
The OBGMs are a Black-fronted punk band from Toronto, Canada, and one of the most electrifying live acts in modern rock. Known for their explosive performances and fearless energy, they’ve become a defining force in the new wave of punk — loud, anthemic, and unapologetically themselves.
Their album Sorry, It’s Over, a brutally honest reflection on therapy, heartbreak, and self-growth, earned The OBGMs their second Polaris Music Prize Short List nomination, cementing their place among Canada’s most vital voices. The record turns personal struggle into stadium-sized catharsis — every scream, riff, and lyric a step toward closure.
Fronted by Densil “Denz” McFarlane, alongside Colanthony “Cola” Humphrey, Simon Outhit, and Joseph Brosnan, the band channels chaos into clarity, standing shoulder to shoulder with artists like Turnstile, IDLES, and PUP while carving out a sound that’s distinctly their own.
For The OBGMs, punk isn’t nostalgia. It’s rebirth.
