Hassler are just back from a European tour and have a new full length that they are celebrating at this show. The LP is called "Fed, Worked, and Watered" and you can hear it on their bandcamp page.

Proxy are an incredible band from Montreal and one of their recent releases "Police Car" was reviewed in MRR not too long ago. I have been listening to them all afternoon and I love how they fused Unruled and Motorhead and Criminal Damage into one great sound.

Toronto's tribute to Sweden in Absolut are also on this line up. They have a new release called "Punk Survival" that you can hear at their bandcamp page.

And the Valley Boys also have a brand new ep out on Ugly Pop called "Drone Attack". Check out their bandcamp page.

The record release really applies for all four bands. An incredible line up. Not to be missed.
