PIPEDOWN! PRESENTS NAMELESS FRIENDS, ANELA + THE EARLY HOURS & HOUSECAT

Nameless Friends is a rock band that wears matching uniforms, criticizes the government, and goes through a lot of glitter. Grand, funny, and vulnerable, the band does big songs for big feelings. They have been described as modern glam, prog-punk, metal-adjacent, and your new favourite band.

Anela & The Early Hours formed in 2016, when all 4 members stumbled upon each other while roaming the walls of silent halls in college. They found familiarity at night, as those were the hours music resonated with them the most. Resulting in songs like the earworm that slides its way into the brain and refuses to leave. Their debut album, Yesteryear came out in 2016, followed by a 5 song EP, My Escape in 2019.

HouseCat is an indie-pop trio from Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario Canada. Composed of Caleb Huizenga, Emily Gilbart, and Shannon Lee, their debut single, Skeleton Man, was just released on Halloween. Critics are calling it the best song of all time since ever before, ever (No source). Their music can be described as catchy, devastatingly sad, and a little morbid.
