About the event

As another year of screamo in Toronto draws to a close, New Friends celebrates the onset of winter with one last gig before we hibernate. Cambridge's most notorious speed demons UNDERWATER BASKET WEAVING are back for more after a blistering Halloween set that nearly rocked Kolors off its foundation, while raucous new bloods INSOMNIAK offer a dose of heavy, goth-tinged noise rock. Local screamo trio ZUZU BAILEY & tweemo troupe FOXGLOVES round out a night packed with 2026's ones to watch. The new wave of Toronto's emo underground is finally upon us, and you best believe they're here to stay!


Brace for the cold with us at Tapestry on Friday, December 5th! 7:30 PM, 19+, $20 advance tickets available online.
