 Black Mastiff

https://blackmastiff.bandcamp.com/

Edmonton’s Black Mastiff (Bob Yiannakoulias, Clay Shea, Allan Harding) is a band built around lifelong friendships and having fun, a vibe they’ve extended to both their porous, heavy, and vigorous live performance, and their recordings.

With their third full-length album Loser Delusions (Fall 2019), keeping it together became a literal priority. During the four years since their well-received Music Machine (New Damage Records, 2015), recorded and beautifully produced at Thunder Underground Studio in the desert of Palm Springs with John Garcia (Kyuss, Vista Chino), the trio had to change their perception of how a band operates. Already Renaissance men and entrepreneurs in other life ventures, when facing unforeseen challenges the band sharpened their production and business know-how by starting their own label, Grand Hand, with tour mates Chron Goblin. When drummer Allan moved to Vancouver, they decided to see how distance apart could add to, rather than take away from, their creative process and sound. The result is a determined continuation of what they do best, with a voyaging out into new sonic territory.

Space Queen

https://www.wearespacequeen.com/about-5

Space Queen is the stoner rock evolution of power trio Jenna Earle (guitar/vocals), Seah Maister (bass/keys/vocals) and Karli MacIntosh (drums/vocals).

Space Queen takes the signature haunting vocal harmonies of the trio’s former folk project (Sound of the Sun) and sends them soaring over a cosmic canvas of neopsychedelic rock. Driving beats from MacIntosh provide an anchor for Earle’s heavy distortion and fuzzy 70s-style riffs, while Maister keeps everything grounded on bass, or shoots beyond the stratosphere with spacey synths and intergalactic organ.

The band released their debut EP in 2020 which garnered a ton of favourable press and college radio play, including landing on the earshot charts. Space Queen was featured on Nardwuar The Human Serviette’s radio show for a month leading up to their EP release.

Space Queen has thrived in 2021-2022 from opening for bands such as King Buffalo, Blackwater Holylight, The Well, RIP, Spirit Mother and Black Mastiff. The band also hit multiple festival stages including Massif Music fest, a headlining slot at Tune it down, Turn it up Festival, as well as playing virtual editions of Massif (and a compilation vinyl release featuring Space QUeen's single Battle Cry in lieu of 2021's Massif Festival) and Fallen Fest.

SQ’s sophomore EP will be released in the Spring of 2023, as well as a single mixed by Desert Rock legend Dave Catching. Plenty of plans are in the works for 2023. These next few years are shaping up to be busy ones!
