NEW AGE DOOM:
Consisting of core duo Eric J. Breitenbach and Greg Valou, Vancouver-based New Age Doom is a genre-defying project that thrives on spontaneity, experimentation, and intensity. Their music blends genres like drone metal, progressive rock, jazz, dub, and global styles. Their latest album, “There Is No End,” features Norway’s Tuva Hellum Marschhäuser on lead vocals and leans into a more melodic direction while retaining the band's signature freewheeling chaos. In 2021, their collaboration with Lee “Scratch” Perry resulted in a poignant and critically-acclaimed swansong and tribute for the late dub legend.

FUZZED OUT:
Patrick Pentland, guitarist of Sloan, has been a mainstay in Canadian rock for over three decades. Though he has penned more than 50 songs with Sloan, many of his compositions remained unreleased, urging Patrick to branch out. Fuzzed Out represents his venture into solo performances, showcasing acoustic renditions of his extensive career’s work, with a loud twist. This May, he embarks on a brief tour with New Age Doom across Ontario and Quebec.
