DEAD CHURCHES
Dead Churches is a rock n' roll band from Vancouver, Canada. Founded by brothers Devin (guitar, vocals) and Eric (drums), their unique approach blends the working-class lyricism of Americana and the massive bravado of 00's rock, executed with the intensity of hardcore punk.
DC released their debut EP "Fear and Faith" with Producer Tim Creviston (Spiritbox; Misery Signals, Chief State) on November 7, 2025. This EP is the triumphant culmination of the pain they've overcome.
Dead Churches effortlessly wears many hats under the banner of rock n' roll. Their influences include: The Killers, Bruce Springsteen, Sum 41, Green Day, Rancid, The Lumineers, My Chemical Romance, Social Distortion, Comeback Kid, Alkaline Trio, and Gaslight Anthem.

THE HIGHSIDES
Hailing from Vancouver, BC, The Highsides are a relentless, high-octane outfit delivering a sweat-drenched brand of melodic punk rock. Blending gravelly, anthemic choruses with the breakneck speed of classic skate punk, they’ve built a reputation for explosive, non-stop live energy.
Now operating as a powerhouse four-piece, the band features Shane Alyward on vocals and rhythm guitar, Dylan Murley on lead guitar, Mike Hawman on bass, and Anthony Wallace on drums. Together, they channel massive hooks, thunderous rhythms, and crowd-surfing chaos into every single stage they step on.
Stage-Tested, Crowd-Approved
The Highsides’ reputation for delivering high-energy, throat-shredding live sets has earned them coveted support slots for some of punk rock’s most legendary acts. They have proudly shared the stage with:
Me First and the Gimme Gimmes
Mad Caddies
Teenage Bottlerocket
The Flatliners
No-nonsense, loud, and incredibly fast—The Highsides are proof that Vancouver's punk scene is alive, well, and kicking at maximum volume.
