about

Formed in 2011 by long-time musical sympathisers and ex 'Pot Boilers' Michael Bennett and James Paul, Toronto's 'Garage Baby' carries the ethos and axioms of late 70s punk and pays it back and forward with raging vengeance and swaggering conviction.

Originally conceived as a punk power trio when Michael and James convinced journeyman drummer Claude Kent that Garage Baby is the best band that he'll ever be in, the audition lasted about five minutes. Joined later by guitarist Adam Faux who has since left the band, GB returns to being a burning three piece garage rock missile with a reputation for no nonsense paired down punk inspired fury onstage.

With just shy of 150 years of musical experience and street cred between the band members, for the uninitiated Garage Baby is; real, vital, convincing, in your face, evocative, compelling, what's truly needed and the epitome of three chords and the truth. This band makes no musical compromises: they do it their way and play with a ragged bravado that lets all within ear-shot know they have nothing to lose. Their live shows are undeniable and leave each stage they conquer with a musical crater that few could fill. With nothing to prove, Garage Baby chooses to carry the punk rock torch out of contempt for contemporary music's complacent malaise and fakery. In the words of the legendary Joe Strummer; "phoney Beatlemania has bitten the dust".
