About the event

New Friends DIY roars back to life with the first gig of 2026! Back again after tearing up The Baby G last summer, New Jersey post-hardcore kings Our Wits are set to unleash another dose of propulsive body-moving energy on our fair city. Joining them are boxcutter, Toronto's most chaotic & volatile screamo outfit (you already know the drill). Our prescription for yr winter blues: a short & sweet 2-band bill at The Rat's Nest, the best spot around for intimate punk gigs. Come in from the cold! Your friends have missed you.


We'll see you at The Rat's Nest on Friday, February 20th! 8:00 PM, 19+, $10 advance tickets available online.
