From Fredericton, NB

DAD PATROL

Fredericton-based post-punk outfit Dad Patrol delivers a visceral, guitar-driven assault that blends complex angular rhythms with the raw aggression of late '90s nu-metal. Since 2019 the Atlantic Canada staple has earned a reputation for volatile live shows centered around immersion, unhinged intensity, and sudden sonic turns.

“Dad Patrol’s greatest strength is their clever use of
dynamics, tone and composition to elevate the lyrics and create
a second layer of meaning behind each line.” -Penelope Stevens,
Cups N Cakes Network

Following their ECMA-nominated 2023 album Pleaser and festival spots at Area 506 and Harvest, Dad Patrol returns with Chainsaw Fight Fantastic, a relentless barrage of heavy riffage and jarring switch-ups that explores perspectives of mortality and death.
