Knitting – What started out as a pandemic hibernation project is now the fully fledged Montreal indie-rock-unit knitting. With “sinuous, bouncy guitars…and choruses that have the potential to metamorphose into earworms” (FME), knitting makes guitar driven and lyrically introspective indie rock evoking the nostalgia of 90s alternative rock bands like Pavement, Pixies and Sonic Youth.

Girl with dream – Songs to make or break your heart

Raised in Newfoundland, the producer, songwriter and audio engineer currently lives in Montreal. Bendzsa’s emotionally blunt yet subtly humorous lyrics are delivered by his distinctive voice; sometimes tortured, sometimes sweet, always deep, strong and expressive.
