Led by the dual male-female vocal alchemy of keytarist Vanessa Vakharia and guitarist David Kochberg, Toronto rock band Goodnight Sunrise is an organized sort of chaos. With a hard-earned reputation as an unforgettable live act through over 400 shows across Europe and North America since forming in 2011, their music blends the heartfelt and confessional lyricism of pop punk with the raw power and showmanship of classic rock. Hopeful and defiantly optimistic, Goodnight Sunrise reminds us that rock isn’t a genre; it’s a community.

Altered By Mom is a female-fronted positive vibes alt-rock band that combine a knack for infectious melodies and classic songwriting with a tongue-in-cheek love of rocking the hell out. Last year, Canada’s best-known musical power couple Gina Kennedy and Devon Lougheed released their EP, AHEM, and things have been picking up speed ever since. They scored a publishing deal with Arts & Crafts, an official artist endorsement from Yamaha Music, and got their tracks featured in film and TV. Fans of Alison Mosshart, Avril Lavigne, and Paramore take note: their first full-length is dropping in 2025.
