Parlour Panther’s enchanting indie rock leaves a lasting impact through their emotional expression and exceptional vocal and guitar skills. Frankie and Lee Brave, a trans non-binary couple, have been creating music together for 10 years, most of which were joined by co-creator Saadi D’Hoore. Their latest album, out on Coax Records March 22, “BLOOM, boasts a vibrant mix of blues-inflected vocals, playful synths and an energetic low-end that’ll have you moving your hips and shoulders in the midst of your soul-searching”, according to Exclaim! And CBC sums it up perfectly with “BLOOM is Parlour Panther's celebration of connection, serving as an open-arms invitation for listeners to partake in their joy”. They are returning to EOTW, having performed at the festival back in 2019!

Naomi Kavka is a songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Smithers, BC. A classically trained cellist, vocalist, and guitar player, Kavka brings a myriad of influences to her songs, forming a daring indie-rock sound that is musically polished, lyrically visceral, and emotionally raw. Her songs come from the unique perspective of a queer woman, a child of a refugee, a resident of the precipice of the wilderness of Canada.

Nurtured by equal parts raucous underground bass parties and all ages folk festivals, Delhi 2 Dublin’s always distinctive sound has evolved over the past decade into its own decisive genre, freshly styled, “Subcontinental Pop” — a name that conveys both its deep South Asian roots and its expansive, crazy-fun appeal. The beautifully supercharged complexity of their sound flows from high-level folk, alternative-pop, with contemporary training, blended and delivered across an array of acoustic instruments and electronic beats. They are another act returning to Haida Gwaii for another EOTW!

Tight-as-can-be three-part harmonic explosions wrapped in a gritty, primal, snarling exterior, Bad Buddy (Edmonton, Alberta) is a force to be reckoned with. The electric energy of their live show is only amplified by the exceptional songwriting ability possessed by the band. The female-fronted Motown-surf-punk band commands attention, painting powerful, sonic pictures drawn from real-life inspirations.

As a multi-instrumentalist, singer, producer, engineer, and DJ, Frase lives and breathes music. With a buttery voice, heartfelt songwriting, and magnetic stage presence he has built a fan base worldwide for the past decade one show at a time. Just as much at home behind an acoustic guitar and a mic, as he is at the helm of a raving dance floor. Long time EOTW fans may recognize FRASE as festival alumni from his former band FM Hi Low!

Influenced by the tidal waters of Prince Rupert, Somber Seas takes indie rock and submerges it into the depths of the ocean, pulls celestial synth inspirations from the sky, and mimics the notion of an otherworldly habitat. This four piece act has the rhythm section to make you dance like northern lights, cosmic sounds to get your body feeling like a jellyfish, and a narrative to draw you into the depths of your own oceans.
