I think these gals have a sound many here will dig.



Recently supporting Incubus on their UK tour, and opening for MUSE in Canada, Softcult, made up of twins Mercedes and Phoenix Arn-Horn are a Canadian duo that seamlessly combine grunge, shoegaze, dream-pop, and punk, and have quickly become leaders of a new Riot Grrrl movement for the digital age.

Born in the studio and 10yrs into the music business, they are building their own universe around their music with a message. With Phoenix running point on production, engineering, and artwork, Mercedes directing/editing their videos, and both writing astoundingly intimate lyrics about self-empowerment amidst social, political, and environmental collapse, the duo is about as DIY as it gets. They even create and produce their own zine called SCripture, currently on Vol. 20, and are active participants in their Softcult Discord server, a safe online community for their fans as recently spotlighted by Alt Press.

Over the course of the last two years, Softcult have released several EPs, garnering acclaim and buzz both in their home country of Canada and across the globe as well. They've been championed by artists like Hayley Williams(Paramore) and Oli Sykes(Bring me the Horizon), and have been highlighted as a band to watch by Alternative Press, Kerrang!, DIY, The Line Of Best Fit, and more.
