Calgary, AB

Calgary’s Pope Joan is loud, thrashy indie rock specializing in four-chord goodness that wouldn’t be out of place in grunge-era Seattle. Pope Joan’s shows are high-energy, and the band plays with every ounce of juice (and noise) it has. With songs like “Judy Never Says Hello,” it’s obvious why Pope Joan compares the band’s sound to a pissed-off retail worker. Rock ‘n’ roll, let’s go.
