WHOOP-Szo ◆ Gloin ◆ Sportsfan

Renowned for their cross-genre exp erimentalism, unabashedly unique,
WHOOP-Szo is a wild fusion of folk, metal, pop, grunge, and even
classical musical stylings. Though radically diverse in tone, WHOOP-Szo has crafted their many sounds well, and are able to create immersive musical tapestries that evoke deep emotions while conveying troubling stories of civil unrest via layered harmonies, churning guitar, gritty synth, and a whole psychedelic plethora of other noise.

Music aside, WHOOP-Szo is well known for the boundaries that they
have bridged between social work, activism, and music making, not
only in their hometown of London, Ontario, but also in various
communities across Turtle Island. As a band fronted by an indigenous
artist, album and song themes often focus on issues like colonization,
language, self-determination, and appropriation. Outreach feats
include the creation of an Inuit Youth silkscreen apprenticeship
program in Salluit, QC and workshops on Solidarity Through Art in
Kingsclear First Nation, NB amongst others.
