Fencing

Fencing is a Winnipeg-based experimental rock project from Isaac Tate (guitar/vocals), Jesse Lawrence (synth), Sean Henderson (bass), and Alex Braun (drums).

Tate, Lawrence, and Henderson had previously collaborated on slowcore project Urban Vacation, which culminated in the 2018 release of their self-produced record Success with Houseplants. Fencing was formed in 2021 to explore a louder, noisier side of the self-produced music they had been making.

Tate’s lyrics externalize the inner monologue of daily commutes and food court lunch breaks, picking out evocative bits of mundane imagery. The band's sonic palette is rich and textured, with fuzzed-out bass, guitar feedback, and Lawrence’s floating synth melodies. Their songs contain elements of unpredictable power, often taking abrupt detours into chaos, with interludes of immersive field recordings and heavy noise that crackle with a sense of looming prairie ennui.

In January 2024, Fencing released their first single, ‘Dresses’, off their forthcoming debut album ‘Wikipedia’.

When performing live, Fencing are joined by filmmaker Ryan Steel who uses his laptop and a projector to create improvised, logged-on visuals to accompany their music.

QL3

QL3 emerged from the seismic aftermath of an earthquake, their sound echoing the tremors of change. This progressive polka trio, shrouded in mystery, harnesses the chaos of their origin to deliver a truly seismic musical experience. Comprising three enigmatic members whose identities remain a closely guarded secret, QL3 defies convention with their unconventional fusion of genres. Their commitment to releasing an EP every fiscal quarter for eternity speaks volumes about their relentless drive and unwavering dedication to their craft. But make no mistake, behind the enigma lies a clear purpose: to pen the ultimate smash hit and ride its wave to glory. With each note and lyric, QL3 marches steadfastly towards their goal, embracing the unpredictability of their journey with an unyielding determination to conquer the musical landscape.
