The #KingEddyYYC is happy to host Sled Island 2019 events Wednesday - Saturday.
About lié:
Shut up, get back and hold on. These three things are what you will gladly agree to when the well-measured muscle of lié comes banging down your door. The three-piece punk band operates only above gale force, like a jackhammer in a hurry to blast its way down to hell.
About Bonnie Doon:
When surf sounds like doom and the party takes a paranoid turn, you’re more than likely in the presence of Bonnie Doon. The quintet makes a kind of post-punk that sounds like a puddle of ooze curdling in the hot summer sun. Their music is grim yet energetic, like a fog machine exploding due an electrical short.
About Blessed:
Blessed have a knack for wearing their influences on their sleeve while still remaining fiercely original. The quintet quilts together post-punk, post-hardcore and krautrock influences into a propulsive pastiche of pointed guitars and pummeling drums.
About Death Bells:
This six-piece post-punk act should feel right at home after their recent move from Sydney to LA. Their textural, gloom-laden style shares a certain morose romance with other bands of the region, and vocalist William Canning’s juxtaposed snarl allows the band to stand out against their more stoic peers.
