SPITE HOUSE (can)
Spite House is one of those bands born out of intuition. Vocalist Maxime Lajoie (guitar and vocals) cites unexpected death as the spark to dig into his desire to sing for a band and ignite an idea between former friend and schoolmate Marc Tremblay (drums). Shortly after, the two had fallen into a cohesive writing rhythm of tracks bearing influences such as Samiam, Jawbreaker and Seaweed with a modern flair. The band’s sonic trajectory was cemented with the inclusion of Nabil Ortega (bass), who also shared a mutual love for the band’s list of influences. As a result, the band was able to finalize an initial set of tracks recorded by Max and didn’t stop there — the band released their s/t which was critically acclaimed worldwide. Their new record is finished and will be unleashed onto the world in due time!
SPLIT CHAIN (uk)
Split Chain is the name on a lot of lips right now, both in their UK homeland and abroad. The band’s international growth across a series of six self-released singles has been truly organic, the quintet crafting their vision into a curated aesthetic with a hands-on approach, everything from artwork design to video direction and editing handled in-house.
