To be Anishinaabe is to move through the world in respect and reciprocity, taking what you need and giving back whenever you can, while always acknowledging the gift that is the journey itself. It’s a way of life that was interrupted and severely damaged by the ravages of settler colonialism.
Ribbon Skirt is a Montreal-based post-punk band led by Anishinaabe musician Tashiina Buswa and guitarist Billy Riley. Their sound is raw and enveloping, channeling angular guitars, driving rhythms, and lyrical threads that explore memory, love, grief, and Buswa’s relationship to her Indigenous heritage.

Watch the new music video for “It’s About Time!”, the title track from Future Star’s sophomore LP, out now on Mint Records.
Heaven For Real are having fun with us. On Hell’s Logo’s Pink, their latest mini-album; twin Canadian songwriters Mark and J. Scott Grundy traverse a withering limboscape while sporting wide-eyed grins. Lyrical themes of spiritual ambivalence (“All That Remains”), doomer delusions and devotions, acute grief (“Biting Down With The Fangs''), solipsism, and ephemeral love (''Wichita's”) float with the band’s signature sonic buoyancy atop a refreshingly dark sea of material.
