GNAR is for the community.
Bummer Records, zBTFD and the Brantford independent music scene are preparing to realize their third and final year of the fest that changed the creative trajectory of enthusiasts and musicians alike.
The first GNARFest (2022) brought us together in a time when togetherness felt new again. Between year one and two, GNARFest reached seemingly unattainable heights by putting big acts (the NIL, METZ, Born Ruffians, Daniel Romano's Outfit) in a small room (shall not be named).
GNARFest garnered attention from communities outside of our own, as we welcomed them to take a peek at what's cooking down here in little ol' Brantford. The energy that the GNAR movement creates is palpable, and though this is the final instalment of the fest, the friendships forged will last a lifetime.
Bummer Records has curated the third and final GNARFest to bring it back home, to shine a spotlight on the independent bands and friends who make up everything that GNAR is about; community.
See you every night from Thursday September 26th-Saturday September 28th when Sun Junkies will bid GNAR one last adieu.

zBTFD Records is beyond pumped to welcome Waste Youth to our growing family.
Hailing from the gritty underbelly of Toronto, Canada, noise-punk duo Waste Youth have quickly made a name for themselves since the release of their fan-favourite singles, "BFF" and "No Shit."
Currently, Waste Youth are hard at work on their debut EP, Slipping Away, a highly anticipated project that has been shaping up over the past two years. The EP promises to showcase their unique sound, with its intense, danceable rhythms and infectious bass licks reflecting their commitment to producing a sound that gets people moving.
zBTFD Records is proud to support Waste Youth on this upcoming release, stay tuned!
