Meet Victoria's eclectic alt-rock group, "The Poubelles." Fronted by Amber Banman, who provides lead vocals while drumming, Kent Bendall who lays down rhythmic foundations on bass, and Stephen Horak, whose guitar riffs give a rebellious edge to their sonic palette. Together since 2018, they craft a sound where shimmer meets distortion in the vibrant backdrop of Victoria, BC Canada
Amber says I was 11. I was raised fairly conservative Mennonite, and my family had just started going to a new church and it had this spunky drummer who played the first time we went. It was the first time I had heard drums live and I couldn't take my eyes off of him playing. Fast forward to later that year I had come home early and one of my dads' friends was playing P.O.D's Testify album in the CD player downstairs and my mind exploded! As soon as I was exposed to hard rock I knew I wanted to be a drummer like that.
The Poubelles like a hook. Formed in 2018, their original Pop-Rock (heavy on the 'rock') draws on influences from 80's New Wave and 90's Alternative sound but with a twist all it's own.Songs of heartbreak and hopefulness, with plenty of fuzz guitar. Releasing their first self titled EP in Feb 2020 just as the world shut down, Amber, Kent, and Steve did not hesitate to jump back into the scene full force once the pandemic rules had lifted in 2022. Along with being The Zone's Band of The Month in hometown Victoria for July, they also had the honour of opening up the weekend at Laketown Rock; a festival with a rocking line up including Wide Mouth Mason and Tom Cochrane.
"Exaspirator" is their latest EP released in July 2022, and there are plans for fresh releases in 2024. Catch The Poubelles live, and experience an energetic and kinetic show!
