Kasador at Portside Pub

Kasador takes the stage in Vancouver at the Portside Pub on April 18th as part of their cross-Canada tour promoting their new EP!

Over the past two years, the Kingston, Ontario band released their second full-length, 2023’s Youth, toured across Canada and the U.S., and went from a three-piece to a four-piece outfit. They hit major streaming milestones, won awards for their music videos, been getting regular spins at XM radio, and scored spots on national Hockey Night in Canada broadcasts—the sort of success every rock band dreams of.

But as much as they’re interested in success, Kasador — vocalist/guitarist Cameron Wyatt, guitarist Thomas Draper, bassist Boris Baker, and drummer Stephen Adubofuor — are interested in simply being a great rock and roll band in a time when connection, friction, and unpredictability are whittled away in favor of algorithmically dictated sameness. What is left when everything feels and looks and sounds good? Why do we idolize the rich assholes picking our pockets?

‘Golden’, ‘Cut It’ and ‘Revolution No.10’ —undoubtedly the heaviest music Kasador has released to date — is a taste of a new collection of 10 songs to be released in 2025, across two EPs. Recorded at the Bathouse Recording Studio with engineer Nyles Spencer and written with a group of friends and longtime collaborators, the tracks evidence a new era for Kasador: More than ever, they’re committed to loud, catchy, confrontational guitar music as a weapon against corporate power, plutocracy, and our great collective numbness. This is the clearest and most direct they’ve ever been. Uncoincidentally, it’s also the most fed-up they’ve ever been, and they’re not pulling any punches.

Kasador has perfected their sound with this new material: It’s tender and carefully considered, but also raw and wild and burnt around the edges, a sonic and compositional thumbprint that nods to classic and alternative rock history while pushing into something new, something exciting.
