PLEASURE CRAFT - MANAGEMENT

🚨Welcome @pleasurecraftmusic to the VP management family 🚨

Pleasure Craft is volatile and razor-sharp, ominous and grimy beneath thick, industrial grooves, buzzsaw guitar riffing, tectonic synth palettes, and gorgeous vocals. The Toronto-based band, fronted by Sam Lewis, is as enjoyable as it is unsettling. This is where Pleasure Craft lives: on the knife’s edge of calm and chaos, the familiar and the frightening. Lewis reminds us that these things are not separate or discrete: they are blurred and overlapping, raging inside all of us.

Listen to their debut LP “Walls, Mirrors, Windows” online now.

THUNDER QUEENS - LABEL

⭐️Welcome @thunderqueensband to the VP label roster ⭐️

Violet, Clara, and Lola became friends while searching for loonies under the pinball machines at Call The Office, in London, ON, and have been making sludgy, feminist-driven songs ever since. This three-piece punk grunge band has spent their ‘tween years opening for bands like The Beaches, Metz, The Dirty Nil, and Chastity, and they have no intentions of slowing down now!

Stay tuned for a sweet Valentine’s Day treat coming your way February 14th

SKINNY DYCK - LABEL

Twang savant Skinny Dyck has put on weight since his debut LP Get to Know Lonesome (2020) – a delight to fans of traditional country music but in equal measure with an alternative leaning audience. On first listen, the Lethbridge, Alberta-based singer/songwriter Skinny may sound like a throwback to classic country artists of the 1960s, but get to know him a little better and it’s clear that he’s firmly part of the new generation of artists pushing country forward into the 21st Century.
