It’s probably the last time you’ll see them at a venue this size. 3 HISS GOLDEN MESSENGER Tues, Nov. 12 at The Horseshoe Tavern Is there a better way to ward off the winter than with unapologetically luminescent country-folk that wraps drippy guitar licks with open-hearted lyricism?

Dinner’s served! 3 MORTIFERUM Mon, Nov. 18 at See-Scape After delivering one of the most merciless (and impressive) genre-amophous black metal demos of 2018, the Olympia, Washington four-piece arrive to deliver a verifiable stress test 4 FULL OF HELL AND CATTLE DECAPITATION Thur, Dec. 4 at The Opera House Twin overlords of the death metal and grindcore variety team up to pose an eternal question: “Can you keep up, baby boy, make me lose my breath.” 5 LUNGBUTTER Fri, Dec. 6 at The Baby G Submerged in a web of metallic reverb, the Constellation Records band bridge the gap between irreverent no wave, and harsh noise, bound together with a clear ear for melody. 1 DAVE Thur, Nov. 14 at The Phoenix Tues, Oct. 15 at Rivoli One of Britain’s brightest young stars returns to Toronto amid the success of his starring role on Topboy to tour his Mercury Prize winning opus, Psychodrama. 2 DANNY BROWN Wed, Nov. 20 at The Phoenix The zany artist who came up in the heydey of blog-rap is known for his rapid rhymes and quirky style. 3 BABY KEEM Thur, Nov. 14 at Adelaide Hall The TDE affiliate comes to Toronto for the first time on the wave of viral success of his debut, DIE FOR MY BITCH. 4 BROCKHAMPTON Fri, Nov. 29 at Coca Cola Coliseum This multi talented crew redefined the “boyband” for the 21st century with their top-to-bottom creative control and introspective rap songs. 5 SAINT JHN Tues, Nov. 19 at Toybox Rising to prominence as a songwriter for artists like Jidenna, Usher, and Beyonce, Saint Jhn is forging his own path of silky-sweet trap music.
