Boniface

New pop stars are spawned every day; focus-grouped and conveyor-belted into being; dreamed up by music industry Svengalis and unleashed on the charts. Boniface offer something different, something rare and bright and fine: a new pop talent that has found its way alone, undiluted, electrifying, boundless in its ambition.

Synthetic Friend

Synthetic Friend is a vibrant indie-rock 5 piece from Winnipeg, Canada. The band earned a reputation as one of the city’s most exciting young acts after selling out their debut show in the summer of 2023. Lyricist and vocalist Emma Stevens crafts heartfelt, emotionally resonant lyrics and catchy melodies that sit atop the band’s intricate and playful indie rock. Stevens, alongside bassist and backup vocalist Kaity Cummings, guitarists Aaron Simard and Ashton Fontaine and drummer/keyboardist Tomi Lawrie have an infectious charm on stage—the unmistakable glow of five friends excited to be performing together.
