About this item

Hailing from North Okanagan, British Columbia, the art-punk quartet Mock Media has increasingly become a welcome reprieve from the self-seriousness of contemporary indie rock. Armed with a whip-smart humor, the band wears its influences on its sleeve, pulling inspiration from acts as eclectic as Bruce Springsteen, The Ramones, Bad Brains and Desmond Dekker, while simultaneously sounding entirely new. Mock Media have discovered a sound all their own.

Guitarist-vocalist Evan Aasen, while speaking on the album’s lead single, says, “...it is a classic The Cars-inspired rock song to play on the radio while you’re in the shop, working on some rusty metal with the radio on in the background. ‘Rat Bastard’ is a song about everyone having a little rat bastard inside them, acting too wild. A pop rock song for the whole family to enjoy."
