About the artists

An explosive new force in the emo/punk world, JULES IS DEAD gives voice to the kind of feelings and frustrations rarely expressed in lyric form. “The main thing I want to do with my music is to make people feel heard, because for so long I felt like I wasn’t heard,” says the 17-year-old singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist hailing from the town of Barrie, Ontario, whose online presence includes over 300k followers and millions of views on TikTok. Deeply informed by their perspective as a nonbinary artist of colour, the music of JULES IS DEAD ultimately pushes the genre forward while providing a much-needed outlet for the endless turmoil faced by their generation.

Prancing Like Zebras were formed in early 2023 by multi-instrumentalist songwriters Alex Purdy and Alex Laurie. The project was started with the intention of being a punk band, but that really just meant the music was allowed to be some combination of loud, dramatic, and silly. Thematically, both bandleaders share an interest in free-form poetry, surreal humor, and how absurd but also how lovely it is to be a human being. The sound of the band follows suit, with elements of janky post-rock guitar, upbeat dance punk beats, industrial jaggedness, and shoegazey haziness, all to the tune of a couple of deranged beat poets just trying to make sense of their day-to-day. Their debut EP is set for release in late March, 2023
