Hermetic is Eric Axen (baritone guitar, lead vocals) and Bart Newman (drums, backup vocals). They draw inspiration from high-energy post-punk (Minutemen, Fugazi, Mission of Burma) and heartfelt 90s indie rock (think Jawbreaker, Inbreds, Plumtree, etc).

Check out Hermetic’s LP Release w/ Chung Antique + Movieland on May 4th… you can attend here on Facebook. Enjoy their tracks Revenge Comedy, and Curmudgeons Club from their new album “Civilized City” below.

Winnie-tv #5 – Japandroids from Winnie Cooper on Vimeo.

Winnie is very proud of our hometown boys.

Check out our latest episode of Winnie-tv featuring Japandroids. They play the title track of Post Nothing for us from the tiny rehearsal space they rent and talk about a recent near death experience and Calgary.

Their second attempt touring North America is underway. The Japandroids are coming to a city near you! Take a look at the groups space for their July through August tour dates and see first hand how hard two dudes can rock.

Japandroids – The Boys Are Leaving Town

This upcoming Saturday we are once again doing our night, NO MORE STRANGERS.

The last one was pretty much the most fun ever, this one promises the same.

We have Shindig winners, Hermetic coming down, a dancey, indie pop, 2 man band that I am in love with.

Hermetic – Preventative Arrest
