Slightest Clue//
Other People are a queer-centered Canadian post-punk outfit led by Mark Crickmay. The band combines elements of 70’s post-punk, 80’s new wave and modern psychedelic rock to create a danceable and endearing sound. Poetic post-punk with angular guitars, danceable beats, and melancholy lyrics, Other People deliver exhilarating performances reflective of the depth of their songs.
Mark Crickmay combines past experiences from local band ACTORS and working as an audio engineer in Steve Bays’ Tugboat studios to bring a new take on indie rock with a flash of post-punk. Other People’s live off the floor debut EP was released August 24th, 2020. Mark Crickmay has been writing and self-producing singles that are independently scheduled for release in the Spring and Summer of 2022.

Other People//
Bob McMahon and Jeremy Goldmeier met as infants. They bonded as kids by playing their favorite songs to each other over the phone. And they somehow wound up as college roommates, diving deep into their shared musical obsessions amidst the clutter of their Mizzou dorm room.
So it’s not much of a surprise that their long, winding and at times bizarre friendship would produce a band. Other People is the result of Bob and Jeremy’s musical hive mind, but it’s also an outlet for a pair of distinctive songwriting voices.
Bob cranks out a mixture of garage rock anthems and deft acoustic pop in his role as the band’s guitarist. Jeremy writes tunes that are both jaunty and jaundiced from behind his keyboard. Each plays as drummer for the other’s original songs.
Bassist AJ Lane — best known locally for his band Without Hazard and various side projects — has proven to be the perfect intermediary between Other People’s two songwriters. His fluid, melodic and playful approach to his instrument has brought a new layer to the trio’s sound.
The group has produced a full-length album, "Other Songs By Other People" and one EP, "Hell Is…", Reference points include XTC, Nuggets, and Sartre.

Black On Black//
Vancouver-based four-piece Black on Black creates music very much like their moniker. Dark, brooding, and twisted with slinky hooks and interesting synth sounds. Their sonic palette is heavily influenced in the 80’s with nods to early UK groups and 90s alt-rock. "A throwback to Cold War-era Darkwave" -John Lucas, The Georgia Straight.

The Pierce Kingans//
There is nobody quite like the eccentrically gifted Pierce Kingan. The Vancouver-based human music engine rapidly releases impressive material. When Kingan wasn’t playing bass and writing / singing clever lyrics for local icons The Prettys (2014-2018) he is recording his very own music in his very own bedroom. He has released four magnificent EPs on behalf of his solo project titled The Pierce Kingans. Each one features a Pierce pun-Pierce of Shit ( 2015), Pierce Pressure (2017), Give Pierce a Chance (2018), Pierce of Cake (2019), Pièrce de Résistance (2020), At Pierce With Yourself (2020), Nobel Pierce Prize (2021), Pierceful Protest (2021), Global Pierce Conference (2021) The Piercekeepers (2021) swell as 3 Collaborative Eps Four Season (2019) Make Weird Great Again (2020) Rona Session(2020) and one full-length compilation album Pierce and Love to all the World (2020) put out by the UK based label Subjangle. The Pierce Kingans Band/team always changing but the main key components are Ian Browne on drums/backup vocals, Zac Martin on keys/backup vocals, Jordan “Yung Heazy” Heaney on guitar/backup vocals, and either Harley Small or Evan Mattheisen mixing/mastering. Each magnificent album explores avant-garde, intimate, and gonzo pop collages of sound. His lyrics are simultaneously sad, hilarious, and unpredictable. Please enjoy responsibly.
