Fast-rising Quebec-based Absolight began as In Foes, a trio of friends (including twins) who simply jammed. By 2024, Absolight made a major breakthrough at Canadian Music Week, connecting with industry pros. Their recent EP Fog Overhead showcases great songwriting, musicianship, and a fusion of influences—"Swellhead" almost channels Black Sabbath!

"Turn Away" starts as an acoustic ballad but crescendos heavily. "Neon Walk" and latest single "You Are Right" delve into hard/pop-punk. We’d love raw-recorded vocals from Olivier Ricard, as effects feel overly clean for such high-energy material.
