 The would have been a weird contrast to the noisy ’90s style alternative rock and punk of Calgary’s Pill Crusher and Rampant Lion.


 Calgary punk trio Pill Crusher including Mike Elliott ,Tyler Burton and Nick Baldock played layers of loud, dissonance alternative rock and punk with a strong Pixies edge.


 They had a familiar, noisy alternative rock sound but also branched  out for a touch of more pop tinged punk music.


Vancouver alternative rock trio Rampant Lion were different again. They played more e melodic alternative and indie rock.
