In the age of endless internet-fueled punk and metal micro-genres, Victoria, BC quartet Shallow End keeps it simple. Their slugging riffs, bashing drums, and barked vocals aren’t anything a hardcore fan hasn’t heard before, but that’s not the point. Vocalist David Goertzen, guitarist James Martyn, bassist Steve McGilllivary, and drummer Clayton Basi combine to put on a show that’s a no-nonsense blur of brutal fun, so put on your favourite Rotting Out long-sleeve and throw some spin kicks.
