The Speakeasy Brings Punk And Folk Traditions Together For Self-Titled Debut

Montreal Punk band The Speakeasy have announced their self-titled debut album, out January 19th, 2024 via Thousand Islands Records.

Bringing together traditions from both Punk and Folk, The Speakeasy crafted each track on the album to tell a different story, whether dealing with nostalgia, passion, or the unknown.

The Speakeasy is a Punk Rock quintet best known for their energetic live performances with a blend of heavy Skatepunk. With a collective musical journey among its members spanning over two decades, the band officially came to life in November 2017.

Having previously released two EPs, they have also played festivals such as The Pouzza Fest, Music 4 Cancer and Festirock. For their full-length album, they partnered with Thousand Islands Records for the first time.

Their music is described as:

…a call to unity, a rebellion against the norm. The upcoming LP, a departure from the concept album format, is a declaration of freedom from rigid rules. It’s a raw expression of life’s kaleidoscope inspired by passion, the pandemic, the grind of work, the struggles of mental health, the grip of addiction, the complexities of love, the allure of sex, and the resilience found in getting knocked down and rising again.
