Magic Shoppe has been a prominent figure in the Shoegaze and Psych rock scene since their formation in 2010. Drawing inspiration from iconic bands like The Velvet Underground, My Bloody Valentine, as well as early Sonic Youth, they have crafted a distinctive sound characterized by a heavy use of distortion, reverb, and hypnotic guitar interplay. Over the past 14 years, they have released five LPs, six EPs, and one live LP, consistently delivering a wall-of-sound blend of raw Shoegaze that flirts with the outer edges of noise rock. Magic Shoppe's new record, Resurrection Machine, is set for a vinyl and streaming release on September 12th 2025 through Little Cloud Records (US/CA) and Fuzzed Up & Astromoon Records (EU/UK), followed by tours across North America and Europe.

“Missing is the Real Sickies... Who, in alll my time of seeing shows, were the worst band live. Clumsy, bad front man broke his first mic. Spinning on the cord move. Then grabbed his bassist mic spilling the whole set up. Then who shot his second mic into the crowd.  Second signature move... Then threw a water bottle in the crowd in hoped crowd participation moment. bonking someone who was not looking. Cue full beer can exploding on his chest hurled from neighboring bottle victim. The show went on. Minutes later he broke a 3rd mic. Almost insult to injury he then Fell on his ass with all the mic cords.. It was like being on an episode of punk'd.  The crowd turned on them, a gory site. Disinterest to an odd band with a ramones beat and a mick jagger looking/singing frontman.

Incubated in the dusty warehouses of Toronto’s roller derby scene, Shiv and the Carvers have blasted their brand of roaring, queer punk rock in and around their hometown since 2022, landing them opening slots for the likes of Bif Naked, Lambrini Girls, Cam Kahin, and War on Women. Led by the lovable and explosive energy of vocalist Shiv Scott, the band’s boisterous live performances are filled with raw moments of pure sonic smut, sweat, and leopard print. With lyrics about sex, body empowerment, and shaking the current political system upside down, Shiv and the Carvers is sure to unlock your inner reprobate.

For over a decade, Calgary psych-pop wizard Ryan Bourne has lent his singular touch to some of the most compelling acts in the Canadian independent music scene, including beloved Sub Pop recording artist Chad VanGaalen, and Polaris-nominated Métis pop experimentalists Ghostkeeper. Bourne’s primary creative outpouring, however, is his solo project as a singer, songwriter, and producer. For 2023’s Plant City, Bourne recruited VanGaalen and drummer/producer Chris Dadge (Chad VanGaalen, Alvvays) to co-produce a strutting garage-pop odyssey. A lushly psychedelic rendering of his timeless pop songcraft, Plant City found itself a critical darling, ending up on many a year-end best-of list, with Aquarium Drunkard calling it “mesmerizing”. The five-piece Plant City Band brings the record to hazy, dazzling life, cementing his status as one of the most adventurous sonic architects and affecting songwriters out there.
