Artist Info

Beach Body are an undeniably chill post-death surf quintet from Regina SK composed of founding members Rory Copithorn, Ian Patterson, and Gaelan Malloy, along with newcomers Jesse Bryksa, and Jon Neher.

Since its inception, Chunder Buffet has created a goth infused, post punk slimefest. Exploring anxiety disorder, sexual assault, and dissatisfaction through minor chords and vocals that vary from shrill sarcasm to powerful screams Chunder celebrates the discomfort and exhilaration that comes from being alive.
