Updated the lineup a little for our last show at the end of the month here at Maxwell's. We're very stoked to have all three of those sweethearts named Matt from Suplex join us in our final Letdown. As well as the beloved Petrochemicals we are proud to play our last show with. And our long time friends in CID who have been with us since nearly the beginning. This will be our longest set ever of mostly our oldies and newies we got and have played throughout our run, including the covers we've bastardized over the years for you all. We'll do our best to keep you entertained! Unless someone in the band gets tired and wants to cut it short halfway through the set, which may happen. Hope to see ya "dunk as skunks" with us one last time!

HOLY FUCK! Tonight was fucking incredible Thank you to every single person who came out, every single person who played, and every single person who staffed the venue. You all mean so much to us and what we do.

Selling whatever's left of merch for our last show at Maxwell's. Not very much, but whatever we got will be out on the table!

Meant a lot to see you all out for our last Letdowns show in Guelph at Jimmy Jazz. We had the best time, couldn't get over how crazy it felt. We appreciate all the love & support, more than you know! Thanks for making it a great night Little snippet of our tribute to The Nasties who were a big influence on us when we were young shithead kids watching them back 10 years ago at Jazz all the time when they were putting on wild shows back then. We love em, never forget them!

We want to give some love to some friends of ours who have always supported us throughout the years, and we'd like to give a shoutout to. Death Crew Hardcore shows were some of the best shows you could see back before COVID. We're happy to see them back again putting on shows after a long time. There were some fun, wild shows at Harmony Lunch back then you could see, and it'll be no different now that they're back. If you yourself are in a band whether from Kitchener Waterloo, or out of town, absolutely check them out, reach out to them for a show opportunity if you're looking in Kitchener Waterloo. Some of the most helpful people in the scene we're grateful to have known, we'd love to help here, and see them put on more great shows in the city in this scene!

Thanks for coming out to Kitchener's Punk Rock Flea Market last night! We're so proud of everyone that made it all happen, and being part of this scene we see. We have two more shows left in 2026, hopefully see you then!

Well we have to do at least one last show at Jimmy Jazz in Guelph before calling it quits! It would be weird if we didn't. We're proud to have the Antisocialites and the Namedroppers play with us! This one's going to be a good old classic rowdy Jimmy Jazz time, with a special set for that night only! Come on out, let's give those silly UOG kids a scare for ol times' sake
