Bearings are an Ottawa pop punk band built around bright hooks, restless momentum, and an emotional directness that connects classic scene energy with cleaner modern production. Formed in the mid-2010s, the group first gathered attention through EPs such as Higher Ground, Home Is..., and Nothing Here Is Permanent before moving into full-length albums with Blue in the Dark. Hello, It's You, The Best Part About Being Human, and Comfort Company widened the band's identity, adding bigger choruses, more polished guitar textures, and songs that balance nostalgia with adult unease. Bearings fit punk and metal-adjacent scope through their roots in pop punk, emo, and heavy alternative touring circuits. Their music is not aggressive for aggression's sake; it works by turning anxious feeling into melody, with guitars that push forward and vocal lines that keep the songs open and immediate. The band sounds best when speed, melancholy, and uplift all arrive at once, making everyday uncertainty feel singable without sanding away the urgency that brought them out of the Ottawa underground.

Beast Conjurator was a Lovecraftian death metal band from Recife, Brazil, active from 2012 to around 2016.

Lovecraft mythology and occult themes, releasing the "First Conjuration" demo (2012) and the "Born from the Darkest Entrails" EP (2013). The posthumous full-length "Summoned to the Abyss" appeared on CD via Dying Music in 2017 after the band dissolved.
