BACKXWASH
Copresented by CJSW
10:00pm @ Commonwealth
Influenced by traditional Zambian music, industrial metal and experimental hip-hop, Ashanti Mutinta has carved out a noisy place in Canada’s rising rap scene. After a prior win in 2020, her most recent album, Only Dust Remains, was also considered for the 2025 Polaris Music Prize. Uncompromising, unpredictable, and deeply political; Backxwash is all this, and so much more.

THA RETAIL SIMPS

12:30am @ Palomino
If you like your punk a little bit sleazy and full of Raw Power, meet Tha (The/Thine/Thee) Retail Simps. Dubbed “Montreal’s premier slop rock act” by MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL, the Simps aren’t afraid to let their groovier-side shine, with horns and schmaltzy ballads nicely breaking up the power-chord rippers. It’s music guaranteed to make you want to start wearing leather.

| ARTIST: | LIVE ON: |
|---|---|
| Niloo (YouTube Premiere) | Speaking in Tongues: 11am |

Snõõper
Copresented by CJSW
12:30am @ #1 Legion
Gleefully unhinged egg punks Snõõper have made waves since forming in 2020, touring the world, collaborating with Prison Affair on an instant-classic split, and dropping two bouncy full-lengths, Super Snõõper (2023) and Worldwide (2025). Their live show (captured on the ‘24 release Snooper LIVE At Exit-In) is a scuzzy party of bug puppets, slam dancing, and ear-worm riffs delivered at lightning speed.

| ARTIST: | LIVE ON: |
|---|---|
| Wheelchair Sports Camp (YouTube Premiere) | New Horizons: 1pm |
| afk (YouTube Premiere) | Simulation Soirée: 3pm |
