(Black Tent) Raggedly elegant punk with new wave elements, an occasional sip of surf guitar, and some (gasp) 90s indie rock sprinkled in. Really good singing voices elevate already great songs to great+ level. I’m glad I could fit this fist!

One of the finest punk acts coming out of Alberta today, Fist City, are busy preparing to release their next two 7-inches, as well as their next album. And as the band explain to Exclaim!, they are embracing the future as they set their sights on what soon may be their busiest year yet.
Canadian bands have always delivered great underground punk music, from the recent slamming sounds of Fucked Up through to the old guard of SNFU and DOA, they just seem have a knack of digging out some classic stuff and bringing something beautiful to the scene.
Last night, Alberta rippers Fist City rolled into town for their debut London show over East and delivered an absolute treat to the lucky few who witnessed their balls-out, garage fueled surf attack. From the opening track ‘Endless Bummer‘ to their epic version of Devo’s ‘Uncontrollable Urge’, (video below) the quartet packed massive amounts energetic punk into their 30 minute set and blew the roof off.
