Les Insoumises

Alright so here's our final list for 2022. We've discovered so many amazing bands this year but what we enjoy the most is seeing bands that are still active, recording and putting new noise out. A lot of them are releasing singles now, which has become almost a standard considering what the industry has become. It's an awesome way to get your name out there fast, so don't wait to record a full album or even EP. We wanna hear you, so just go ahead and record a song! We'll definitely look for it. So here are 90 songs that came across our radar this year. Featuring some of the most badass women, queers and non-binary people, of course ;) Oh and for those of you who don't have the time to browse through all these links, here is what you were waiting for...our epic 2022 playlist, featuring all our best albums, EPs and singles of the year. Clocking at around 11 hours and presenting 203 bands, we think you'll def find something you like in there. Enjoy! THE playlis...

Here is part two of our end of the year lists. We present you the 36 best EPs of 2022 !!! (That we know of, obviously.) If you know what we do, you know why this list is special, and why you should really support and follow these artists. Because they are amazing musicians and deserve recognition, but also because in this hetero-cis-male dominated scene, diversity matters.  Enjoy! ------- Axe Rash - Contemporary Ass https://axerash.bandcamp.com/album/contemporary-ass Bad Skin - Heartbreak Tour https://open.spotify.com/album/3QwUD41LbUzNX0XcS4iOMo Boybrain - In The Company of Worms https://boybrain.bandcamp.com/releases Carpark - The World Ended in 2012 https://open.spotify.com/album/14Hl2eRa9W9rMCG05pukSc Cluttered - Transgender Dysphoria Blues https://cluttered.bandcamp.com/album/transgender-dystopia-blues Concrete Ties - Unrecognizable https://upstaterecords.bandcamp.com/album/concrete-ties-unrecognizable Destiny Bond - Promo 2022 https://destinybandusa.bandcamp.com/album/2022-pr...

When did you first pick up a camera and what motivated you to start photography? I picked up a camera at around 4 years old. My mom did some photography when i was young, so I grew up with a camera in my hands. Did you study or are you self taught? I studied in cinema/video/communications at Dawson College, then I went to Concordia University in the same field. I never actually studied photography but I had a lot of photo classes. Do you remember the first show you ever shot and how it went? My uncle played in bands since I was really young. The first show I shot was my uncle's first show with his new band. I was around 13 years old. The stress was real! I think I had one of those point and shoot cameras. I also remember my first show for a media; it was Septicflesh at Café Campus. How did you know you wanted to do concert photography and what do you love the most about it? The first concert I ever saw was of Cher . I was maybe 8 or 9 years old and I vividly remember watching the ...

In 1996, three girls from New-York got together to form The Devotchkas . A band that would go on to become one of the most talked about all-girl oï punk of the scene at the time. A time that was long before smartphones and social media, when bands only had web pages on Geocities and Angelfire, which is where we first heard about them. Because in 2001, after Jennifer Leigh, (better known has JJ ) took vocal duties, the band released an iconic album, that was not only our introduction to them, but to how much ass a women can kick when they play badass music. The next year they went on hiatus, and we never heard about them. The whole industry evolved, but for us they remained legendary in their own way.  Fast foward 20 years later, the same line-up that released that iconic album, decided it was time to get back in action. This weekend, the gang is set to play at the C.Y. Fest in Los Angeles, not once, but twice, and even though we can't attend, we couldn't be more exited at the i...
