Career Suicide (US) + support: Decade

About the event

Career Suicide was formed in Toronto in 2001 and plays uncompromising hardcore punk with clear roots in early 1980s American hardcore. The band's music is fast, raw and direct, and drawing on first-wave punk and North American garage rock. At the core of the band are guitarist Jonah Falco and vocalist Martin Farkas. Falco is also known as the drummer of Fucked Up, closely linking Career Suicide to Toronto's hardcore and punk scene. Over the years, the band has gone through numerous line-up changes but has maintained the direct, unpolished approach that has defined them from the beginning. Following their early demos and self-titled debut, the band released a string of EPs and other recordings. The album 'Attempted Suicide' was released in 2006, followed by 'Machine Response' in 2017. The band has also toured extensively throughout North America, Europe and Japan. Career Suicide belongs to a strain of hardcore punk where speed, short songs and a sharp DIY aesthetic take precedence over polished production. Their music looks back to the genre's early years without simply becoming retro. More than two decades on, the band remains part of the international punk underground.
