Arsenal Mills

Friday, 8:45PM

“Spawned from their heavy New Wave, Blues and R&B influences, since day one it has been Arsenal Mills’ collective mission to completely reimagine the modern rock scene in a unique way."
—Tinnitist, Darryl Sterdan  
 
Forming in early 2020 in Charlottetown, PEI, Arsenal Mills found solace in the common idea that rock was indeed alive and well, it just needed a fresh set of ideas. Influenced by the no-holds barred live shows of the past, captivating audiences is always priority number one for Arsenal Mills.
 
“In the short time since they formed, the band has already dominated the rock scene in their home province — and earned accolades and airplay around the world” (Eric Alper).  
 
One of the most entertaining, and hardworking bands on Canada’s east coast, Arsenal Mills is Brad Milligan, Griffen, Josh MacNeil, and André U.

Weak Size Fish

Thursday, 5:30PM

Seven-piece Maritime dub-reggae band Weak Size Fish has been a mainstay on Canada’s underground east coast music scene for the better part of a decade. Getting their start in the maritime jam-band festival rotation, the band has continued to build a stronger grassroots foundation over the years by packing clubs and appeasing festival goers with their captivating live show. Drawing inspiration from the likes of dub pioneers King Tubby and Scientist, and akin to such current acts as Fat Freddy’s Drop and The Black Seeds, the band crafts their own blend of maritime dub-reggae.
 
Over the years of playing at such events as Harvest Jazz & Blues, Envol et MacAdam, Evolve Festival, and Future Forest, while having shared the stage with acts like Classified, Dub Kartel, Moon Hooch and Moontricks, the band has proven their ability to navigate the flow of such varied show scenarios. With three full-length albums and many performances under their belt, Weak Size Fish has matured into a band that embraces change and is an ever-evolving and growing creative unit. With the release of The Drift, the band reveals a fresh and confident understanding of their sound and vision.
