Sam Coffey & The Iron Lungs are a power pop band from Toronto. Formed by Coffey, a former mechanic's apprentice from Kitchener, Ontario, with its members collected from various Ontario small towns, they rapidly ingratiated themselves with Toronto's punk scene. The band released a stream of DIY singles before signing to Oakland punk/garage rock label Southpaw Records (Ty Segall, Young Guv) for their Gates of Hell LP in 2014, which received praise from outlets like Pitchfork, Spin and Noisey. Touring extensively and playing with bands like Redd Kross, Black Lips, Screaming Females and The FLAMIN' GROOVIES, Sam Coffey & The Iron Lungs have become regulars in DIY venues up and down the East Coast. In 2017 the band signed to Dine Alone and Burger Records to release their self-titled album. Working with producer Alex Bonenfant (METZ, Crystal Castles) the album embraced Coffey's abiding love for, and near encyclopedic knowledge of 70s glam and power pop in the interest of evolving past the band's garage roots. Showcasing a potent brand of guitar pop that draws influence from a broad swath of the genre's history, including acts like Big Star, Dwight Twilley, Cheap Trick, Teenage Fanclub, Kiss, The Undertones and The Exploding Hearts, the album revels in a rough and anarchic feel, best exemplified by Coffey's impassioned wail of a singing voice, while displaying a deft and at times sophisticated approach to songwriting and arrangement. With the album the band found success on the radio for the first time, with their singles "Talk 2 Her", "Tough", and "First Time" charting on the rock and alternative charts. This success launched them into bigger venues across North America, burnishing their reputation as a thrilling live band while touring with Billie Joe Armstrong's The Longshot, The Dirty Nil, The Flatliners, Frank Turner, and The Sheepdogs. The band are currently at work on their follow up album, due out in the fall of 2019.

LES SHIRLEY FOREVER IS NOW Les Shirley is pure energy. Drenched in early 2000’s pop culture, their sound is shaped by their punk rock teenage years and the women they became today, karaokeing their nights away to pop anthems. It's a symphony of raw power chords, raging riffs and wild vocal melodies that is never getting out of your head, guaranteed! The synergy and complicity of the girls on stage are leading the path for an explosive cocktail. Ever since the release of their first EP in 2019, the band toured Quebec on many occasions and have shared the stage with acts such as The Beaches, Anti Queens, and Ten Foot Poles. In March 2020, they took part in the first all-female bill for CHOM’s Rock Room being one of the station's favorite act. The new show is gonna blow your head off, are you ready for the Shirley tornado?
