Long Bio

We’re a queer pop-rock-punk band based in Victoria, B.C., made up of Lauren on lead vocals and rhythm guitar, Ariel on drums, Hannah on lead guitar, and Miri on bass. Our music comes from the messiness of non-conformity in a world that loves its boxes neat. Rooted in our personal and collective experiences, our songs explore identity, vulnerability, the pressure to fit in — and what it means to push back. From beauty standards to heartbreak, we’re here to make noise about it. ​We make music to feel seen, and to help others feel seen too. Whether you’re dancing, crying, or both at once, you belong here.

Discography

  • ILU (2024) – A strong, high-energy anthem about the fear and intensity of love, ILU captures the tension between wanting to say “I love you” and being terrified of what it might mean when you finally do.
  • Girlfriends (2024) – Playful, messy, and emotionally raw, Girlfriends captures the whirlwind of queer dating, the contradictions of love, and the lingering ache of missed chances.
  • Eye Level (2024) – A bold, defiant track that challenges beauty standards, gender roles, and unsolicited opinions, Eye Level is a punk-fueled refusal to shrink or compromise.
