Hailing from Vancouver, Juice formed like Voltron, merging members from some of the best bands the Great White North has to offer. The quintet’s sonic approach combines the aggression of No Warning, the riffs of Cro-Mags and Iron Age, and the swagger of Dmize and The Icemen. Set to release on July 12 via WAR Records, Juice’s debut LP, Festival of Fools, promises to hit you like a ton of bricks and solidify their place as one of Canada’s premier hardcore bands.

No Echo has already recognized Juice as a band to watch in 2024. Featuring members from The Enforcers, Poisoned Seeds, World of Pleasure, A Mourning Star, and Odd Man Out, Festival of Fools offers a sound that’s straightforward enough for hardcore purists, hard enough to move the dance floor, and dripping with guitar solos that will pull in the metalhead contingent. The riffs are tasteful and infectious, while the lyrics and artwork maintain a dark edge. This record is guaranteed to be on many people’s AOTY lists. Are you ready to join the Festival of Fools?
