Dillon Ryan & The Dream Romantic
"Dillon Ryan & the Dream Romantic are a new wave band from the East Coast of Canada based out of Moncton/Miramichi NB. The band is authentically breathing new life into the underexplored genres of new wave, goth and post punk. Their inspiration from the Smiths, Echo & The Bunnymen and the Cure is marvelously palpable in their material yet their work remains completely fresh. Their hauntingly melodic landscapes swallow you into a cinematic gothic universe. It’s soothing yet scary and you just can't get enough. Dillon Ryan & The Dream Romantic weave melodic lullabies and gothic ballads that cling to listeners. Their poetic songwriting paired with a beautifully melancholic sonic landscape is an enthralling void to lose yourself to. In a world oversaturated with pathological positivity it’s exciting to hear such an emotionally generous band. Their music somehow makes you want to dance and cry at the same time, it’s a rare and honest dichotomy. The band is a 4 time Music New Brunswick award nominee and winner of the 2017 "Fans Choice Award". Ryan has released 3 albums to date and is currently touring in support of the newest album "In Polaroid" which was produced by John Mullane (In-Flight Safety)
Lazermortis
Lazermortis is a full time funeral director and embalmer by day and an 80’s inspired synthwave/outrun artist by night. Hailing from Atlantic Canada, Lazer released her debut album Backseat Demons on June 30, 2020, which has achieved over 70K streams on Spotify with her standout track Below The Sunrise! Her latest EP, Autonetic Afterlife is a marriage between her career and her passion for synthwave, exploring how artificial intelligence might perceive death and the afterlifet.
The Gregories
The Gregories are quartet of musicians based in Moncton, New Brunswick. They play strange pop, art rock, and disquieting love songs. While their music evokes an era that straddles the 1970’s and 80’s, it is still thoroughly contemporary and defies nostalgia. Often humorous and dream-like , David Gregory’s lyrics probe the absurdities of being human. Their first record “The Offal Truth” was released in the autumn of 2018. It was recorded, mixed and produced by Pierre-Guy Blanchard who is best known for his work with Les Hay Babies, Lisa LeBlanc and Les Hôtesses d’Hilaire. Currently promoting their current record "Tonights The Day" .
