Crawling out of the “Pulp Fiction” pawn shop, TEAR DUNGEON arrives masked and gruelling.
Pumping turbulent tracks with sardonic lyricism and a dose of doom, their splatter-punk gimmicks include pouring (fake) blood down their gullets onstage.
For a pulverizing listen packed with brutal instrumentation and madcap vocals, start with their debut 2018 EP “Gory Hole!”
Expect a common ground for old and new school punks, or anyone who can stomach the spectacle really. That’s why we made sure there’s two chances to catch them at Sled Island this year!
Catch TEAR DUNGEON with BIG EVIL RAT, Invisible Hand and Brass Lip on Saturday, June 20 at The Palomino Smokehouse and Social Club.
They will also be closing out the Sled Island Wrap-Up BBQ on Sunday, June 21 with Wheelchair Sports Camp, afk, Sheenah Ko, RroachH, Shy Friend and more!
Tickets are on sale now at SledIsland.com.

Toronto’s Dijah SB (formerly Kzaraw) slides between slick synth loops and heavy bass claps with ease.
Pairing sharp wit with real vulnerability, their third EP “The Flower That Knew” landed on the Polaris Prize longlist offering a clear-eyed look into the life of a black non-binary artist in motion; always growing, despite the storms.
With nods to Kid Cudi and Lupe Fiasco, DijahSB moves confidently with introspection and unfiltered flow.
Catch DijahSB with Ice Tha One, TeaFannie Music and (un)decided on Friday, June 19 at BLOX Arts Centre.
Tickets are on sale now. And, for those under 18, an all-ages pass will also grant you access to the show.
