Panopticon Eyelids
The American Devices, Hands and Knees & Leamers
Panopticon Eyelids is a Sci-Fi Prog Punk band formed in 2002. Panopticon Eyelids are veterans of Montréal's weirdo underground. Over the course of 7 releases they have shown an uncompromising willingness to experiment: their music flashes with No Wave angularity, and proto-punk primitivism; using the language of free improvisation shot through the lens of psychedelic warriors from all eras.
The American Devices
"The world's longest-running indie post-punk band” -Mark Lepage, The Gazette (Montreal) "Authentically delirious thick-skinned psychedelic alterno-punk" -Serge Paradis, Ici (Montreal) "Rick Trembles is the Montreal Elvis" -Jon Spencer (Blues Explosion), Nomag
Hands and Knees
“The group’s strength besides a flair for well-turned hooks and dash of grand drama — lies in the sweet and sour contrast of [singer/guitarist Joe] O’Brien’s and bassist Carina Kelly’s voices… There’s lots to love here, and Wholesome more than measures up.” -The Boston Globe
