The Outhouse Records Bands

Calgary Melodic Punk

Fusing the violence of street punk, the speed of hardcore and the electricity of Oi, No Brainer are melodic punk rock, unique yet familiar. Since 2018, the Calgary quartet have juxtaposed the anthemic against the cathartic, the light against the dark: hard to define yet hard to ignore…this is No Brainer

Seattle Post Punk/Empathy Core

Shame Banger is an eclectic post-punk band from Seattle, WA. Their diverse musical interests show through the clever but catchy songwriting and feature vocals that are just as varied. They touch on topics from trauma to politics with sincerity and self awareness, and punctuate their live shows with reminders that we’re all human and we’re in this together.

Calgary Unapologetic Feminist Punk

HARSH is Queer, Chaotic, and Powerful. To be at a HARSH show is to be engulfed in positive energy; enveloped by the chaotic good. Armed with witty banter and feminist politics, HARSH manages to be radical yet fun; inclusive yet uncompromising. HARSH is not afraid to challenge their audience, the binary, or the patriarchy, often in the same song. Building on the anarchic spirit of Crass, IDLES, and Kathleen Hanna, HARSH has built themselves a sound that resembles nothing else.

They’ve taken Celtic sounds & mashed them up with gritty punk rock passion to create a wild ride of originals, tradionals & additionals that will move your feet into jig formation & bring out your inner rabblerouser.

Pacific North West Melodic Punk

Hitting the 90’s punk sensibilities that would fit right into a Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater Soundtrack, Pilsgnar is fast, fun, and instantly nostalgic. Their blend of heavy skate punk isn’t afraid to tackle politics and interpersonal relationships with equal parts heart and grit.

West Coast Thrashy Skate Punk

Hailed for their fast and enthusiastic live show, Mean Bikini play 50% songs to get you pumped and 50% songs that get you pissed off. With musical influences that range from skate punk to hardcore Mean Bikini makes a point to celebrate the good in the world while tearing down the bad in a way that is pointed and unapologetic, but also inclusive and just plain fun.
