WROUGHT, from Hamilton, Ontario, unleash a bursh of vicious hardcore fury on DEMO 2025. Combining fiery metallic instrumentals with a sharp political bite, WROUGHT demands attention by delivering a debut that burns with purpose.

dogwhistle

From the dense, industrial sprawl surrounding Toronto comes Dogwhistle, a post-hardcore/noise band committed to making the loudest music known to mankind. Juxtaposing the noisy, groovy fringes of 90s hardcore like Snapcase, Unsane, and Shallow North Dakota with the scorched-earth sensibilities of Uniform and Diamanda Galás, Dogwhistle’s five-song debut EP Textile Waste is a blistering takedown of the rampant labour exploitation, police brutality, and militarized violence that define today’s geopolitical landscape.

FFO: Quicksand, Helmet, Snapcase, Unsane, Shallow North Dakota

DAMBE

Flower City youngbloods DAMBE unleash their strain of ferocious, groove-laden 90’s influenced hardcore on their self-titled debut EP. At once confrontational and introspective, DAMBE draws from their diverse palette of influences to create a gritty sonic attack that’s both familiar and unmistakably their own.

mace

Since the release of their sludgy, dynamic DEMO 2024 last summer, young Toronto crew MACE has made an undeniable imprint on Ontario’s exploding hardcore scene. Now they’re back with a reimagined lineup, a sharpened metallic edge, and the same biting, gnarly style that’s become their trademark. Their new EP “DON’T HIDE IT” offers 5 tracks of pure kinetic energy, combining MACE’s signature groovy, grimy attack with a snarling sense of urgency and a pummelling drive that doesn’t let up. “DON’T HIDE IT” is MACE at peak form - gritty, loud, and absolutely relentless.
