Cola (2023)

Montreal, QC

Featuring ex-members of Ought, Cola harnesses 21st century absurdity to fuel a three-piece engine of open-tuning creepiness and lithe punk grooves. The group’s debut album Deep in View fizzes loudly with tightly coiled guitar and jagged commentary on tracks like “Degree,” before exploring modern melancholia on the piano-driven closer “Landers.”
