BIO & STORY

A staple of the punk rock scene for over a decade, The Anti-Queens are an ultra-hard-working, punked-up rock ’n’ roll quartet known for their insanely high-energy, take-no-prisoners live performances.

The Anti-Queens have completed multiple headline tours across Canada, the United States, Europe, and the UK while also sharing the stage as direct support for bands like Danko Jones, Streetlight Manifesto, The Interrupters, Refused, Gob, and The Bronx, to name a few. The band are no strangers to the big stage, having rocked festivals such as Punk Rock Holiday, Montebello Rockfest, Music 4 Cancer, Rock La Cauze, Pouzza Fest, Brakrock Ecofest, and many more.

The Anti-Queens released their second LP, DISENCHANTED, in May 2024, produced by Dave Baksh and Steve Rizun. Since the release of DISENCHANTED, the band has played over 150 shows across multiple countries, further cementing their reputation as one of Canada’s hardest-working punk bands. The band has previously self-released two stellar EPs, Grow Up/Stay Young and Start Running, along with their killer full-length debut on Stomp Records in 2019. With more touring on the horizon across North America and Europe, The Anti-Queens show no signs of slowing down.
