Witiko 

Hailing from the unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) peoples in so-called Vancouver, BC, Witiko explores a variety of rock influenced sounds, typically steeped in a healthy amount of fuzz. Originally forming in March of 2019, the band is currently comprised of Josh McKenna, Lucas Grabi, Luke Bidulka, and Walter Sawan, McKenna naming the band after the Cree legend prominent in his own Métis community. The band has honed in an expansive sound that seamlessly transports listeners from the warmth of surf to the abrasiveness of grunge across the course of a setlist, tackling themes from existentialism to Indigenous sociopolitical action.

Hazar

Hazar (pronounced ha-za-ar) is an experimental indie-pop band with Indian roots and American influence, exploring and mixing the sounds and instruments of the world with poetry from desi writers both in English and regional Indian languages. The band draws influences from folk music, pop rock, sufism, romance & revolutionary themes. Hazar which means thousand in Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu, signifies a mindset - of being complete within this life, this universe. It encapsulates the perpetual need for creativity, courage & perseverance.
