I caught the end of an upbeat set of pop punk from Edmonton’s A Gentleman’s Pact at the Slice, Friday, Oct. 19. They sounded like a mix 0f ’90s  pop punk along the lines of Sum -41 mixed with classic L.A. punk bands like the Vandals.

 Edmonton’s Nicolas Rage  played a loud, distorted detuned set of heavy ’90s-’00s alternative rock powered by a six string bass. 

They had a big, heavy alternative rock sound which verged on punk in a few spots.
