Out first single from the "Risky" LP, a collaboration with @markerstarling and @slamdunkchump is out Friday. Album out February 2026 on @wearebusybodies

ALBUM/SINGLE ANNOUNCEMENT: Lammping x Marker Starling x Drew Smith 'Risky' LP, out on @wearebusybodies in February Artwork by @kaganmcleod First single "No Consolation" out this Friday. Vinyl pre-order goes live Friday as well. "...the new album drifts into deeper, more melodic territory — “CSNY harmonies over early-’90s hip-hop drums and fuzzed out guitars” as Galkin describes it. The result feels both strange and familiar: a warm, analog dream slowly unraveling in real time..."

BÉING Festival is made operational by the existence of Badge Époque Ensemble. With that in mind we (meaning, uh, me… Max of said group) caught up with Jay Anderson, Edwin de Goeij & Ed Squires in advance of BÉE’s festive, upcoming 2 night stand at BÉING. Pt. 2 to follow. Swipe thru to learn more about ‘xeroxes of the past’, an encounter with the master session musician in the sky, and why no percussionist from Newfoundland is a one trick 🐎. Group 📸: @colin.medley Tickets for BÉING Fest are available at 🔗 in bio!

Beyond stoked to announce a new collaboration album we made with our heroes @markerstarling and @slamdunkchump , out in February on @wearebusybodies "t’s like a heavy, psyched-out yacht rock album, if the yacht was sinking the whole time.” First single out next Friday.

Don’t miss the epic closing afterparty Saturday at @thegarrisonto FREE from midnight onwards! DJ Trial & Error @jandersup and DJ @paulquattrone are teaming up to keep the good times rollin’ all night long!

sometimes you discover that you and another person you're speaking with each were in post-hardcore bands more than 25 years ago, and even played some shows together in cities like Stratford and Guelph, Ontario. such is the case on episode 1017 of the Kreative Kontrol Lungbutter/Captain Copilot/Countdown to Oblivion podcast because Josh Cole, Craig Dunsmuir, and Colin Fisher from Dun-Dun Band are here to discuss the September 27 Toronto release party for their new LP, 'Pita Parka, Pt. II : Nim Egduf,' where they live and how they met, the best pizza slice in Toronto, the Holy Oak Family Singers, Not the Wind, Not the Flag, Sandro Perri, and other musical pursuits, a growing interest in physical media, Colin and I unknowingly crossing paths and sharing stages in our post-hardcore bands some 25 years ago, a mutual love for Owen Pallett and his old band Les Mouches, the inspiring work of Josh Abrams, how Dun-Dun Band operates, future plans, and much more. it was a joy to meet with these three fine people and discuss their shared history and our shared history and good pizza. please listen to Dun-Dun Band and also our talk about Dun-Dun Band on the Kreative Kontrol podcast, now available on the internet. thanks! 📸: @colin.medley @craigfraid @colinalexanderfisher @wearebusybodies it's always nice to buy music from independent record stores like @blackbyrdmyoozik
