Additional information
La Sécurité (Montréal/Tiohtià:ke) is a collective whose art punk is equal parts: jumpy beats, off-kilter arrangements and minimalistic melodic hooks; run through an insomniac filter, the result of excessive exposure to the city’s neon lights.
The music is all about living dangerously, perfectly agreeable to being blasted onto dancefloors; while the lyrics share the ethos of the Riot Grrrl movement, and celebrate the autonomisation of women, friends (mean and nice) as well as benevolence.
Since coming together in the spring of 2022, they have been invited to perform noteworthy events such as SXSW, End of the Road, The Great Escape, and Reeperbahn, also touring alongside The Go! Team (2024) and The Rapture (2025).
Following the release of Polaris Music Prize 2024 long-listed debut Stay Safe!—as well as its joyous offspring Stay Safe! REMIXED—with Mothland, the five-piece offered singles “Detour” and “Ketchup”, setting the stage for a new influx of DIY sonic gems, this time also teaming up with Simon Raymonde’s seminal British imprint: Bella Union.
Hence, the motley bunch continues to meander the fringes of punk, new wave and krautrock, mischievously flouting stylistic form every chance they get by way of sophomore long-player Bingo!, scheduled for release on 12th June 12th 2026 via Bella Union (World) and Mothland (Canada/United States).
Support comes from NO TV.
