Amyl & The Sniffers at the PNE Forum in Vancouver
Amyl & The Sniffers stormed into the PNE Forum on March 26, 2025, bringing an electrifying dose of Aussie punk mayhem. With Sheer Mag kicking things off, it was clear from the start that this was going to be a night of pure, unfiltered rock ‘n’ roll chaos.
American rock band Sheer Mag set the tone with a mix of riff-heavy rock and soulful vocals. Their set was tight, raw, and packed with enough energy to warm up the crowd for what was coming next. The Palestinian flag on a mic stand was a nice touch. By the time Amyl & The Sniffers took the stage, the venue was primed and ready to explode.
After arriving on stage, drink in hand, Amy Taylor took the mic and got things straigth from the start: “If anyone falls down, help them up. Don’t touch anyone that doesn’t want to be touched. And get rowdy!” The band then launched into “Doing It In Me Head,” instantly igniting a frenzy in the pit. Taylor, a firecracker of a frontwoman, wasted no time asserting her presence—stalking the stage, flexing, and whipping the crowd into a punk-fueled riot. Clad in tiny shorts, a leather jacket and absolute confidence, she owned every inch of the stage, her high-pitched Aussie drawl cutting through the distortion.
The setlist was a high-speed blur of bangers, with tracks from their latest album, Cartoon Darkness, hitting just as hard as fan favourites like “Security” and “Some Mutts (Can’t Be Muzzled).” “Me and the Girls” felt like an anthem for every woman in the crowd ready to take up space and make some noise.
By the time they closed with “Balaclava Lover Boogie,” the crowd was drenched in sweat, grinning ear to ear, and fully spent. No encores, no filler—just pure punk energy, bottled up and detonated in 80 minutes. If you missed it, you missed one of the best live bands on the planet at their absolute peak.
Amyl & The Sniffers will continue their Cartoon Darkness World Tour in North America until May 23 before jumping over to Europe. More info on their website.

Joyce Manor Bring I Used To Go To This Bar Tour to the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver
On May 11th, American punk rock band Joyce Manor brought their I Used To Go To This Bar Tour to the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver for a high-energy, jam-packed set.
The punk rock band from Torrance, California, was formed in 2008. Known for their fast, emotionally charged songs and energetic live shows, they became a major influence in modern emo and pop-punk with albums like Never Hungover Again and 40 oz. to Fresno.
Taking the stage at 9:45 pm, Joyce Manor ran through an impressive 24-song set, jumping into hit after hit, with little downtime. The band kept the energy in the room throughout the night, with lots of moshing and crowdsurfing, especially in their hits “Catalina Fight Song”, “Heart Tattoo,” and “Constant Headache.”
Between the mayhem, the band’s songs evoke a deep sense of nostalgia, capturing the feeling of past heartbreak and growing up. Barry Johnson’s emotionally charged vocals, paired with the band’s raw, unfiltered guitar sound, have a way of making you get into your feelings.
The 24-song set allowed Joyce Manor to premiere a lot of their new material from I Used To Go To This Bar, while ripping through some of their biggest hits on cult favourites, Never Hungover Again and Joyce Manor, leaving something for everyone to enjoy.

Good Kid Bring ‘Can We Hang Out?’ Tour to the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver
On May 10th, Canadian indie rock band Good Kid brought their Can We Hang Out? Tour to the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver. The Toronto-born group, known for their high-energy performances and catchy melodies, kept the Vancouver crowd going all night long with their quirky personalities and interactions with the crowd.
The band is touring in support of their first full-length studio album, Can We Hang Out Sometime? — A bright, energetic indie rock record about the importance of staying connected when life feels chaotic.
Good Kid took to the stage around 9:00 pm, previewing the fresh sounds of Can We Hang Out Sometime? Opening with the catchy “Wall”. Instantly, the band had the crowd at their fingertips, singing along to every single lyric and getting the whole venue jumping up and down.
The Toronto group have built one of the strongest artist–fan relationships in modern indie rock by making their audience feel like an active part of the band’s world rather than just consumers of their music. There is an official Good Kid discord server, and they regularly engage with their fans on social media. They’ve also tapped into the gaming/streaming space, letting people use their music without aggressive copyright enforcement and have made a name for themselves in the Fortnite community.
Through the night, the band ran through their hits like “From the Start”, Mimi’s Delivery Service”, “Cicada”, “Summer” and “Bubbly.”
The show was full of antics with a wall of death, playing basketball with a giant beach ball and hula hoops, and even lead singer Nick Frosst at one point joining the moshpit. With a show of hands, it was about half of the venue’s first concert experience, and Good Kid definitely made it one to remember.
One thing is for sure — anytime Good Kid rolls into town, Vancouver is always down to hang out sometime.
