Slow Down, Molasses

Why stay the same, when you can change?

Over the course of five full-length albums and dozens of tours across North America, the United Kingdom and Europe, Saskatoon’s Slow Down Molasses has seamlessly evolved from blissed-out dream pop and hazy Americana into a noise drenched rock act falling somewhere between the bruising post-punk of Mission Of Burma and the cerebral spectrum of hardcore, landing somewhere between the rosters of Matador and Dischord Records.

2021 saw the band riding high on the momentum of their latest album Minor Deaths, which took them on four European tours, as well as dates across Canada, including stops at Reeperbahn Festival (Hamburg, Germany), The Great Escape (Brighton, England), Future Echoes (Norrkoping, Sweden), Sled Island (Calgary, Canada), M for Montreal (Montreal, Canada), and C/O Pop (Cologne, Germany). This run of shows were met with increasing acclaim, with legendary BBC6 DJ Steve Lamacq stating their “live show is VERY, VERY strong” after playing the band on his radio show.

“Blackclad, and not afraid of a burning avalanche of guitar noise, the band feel pretty exciting in this bright, cosy community centre – we spot an organiser glancing at a decibel count early on...” - Nightshift Mag (Oxford, UK)

Since returning from tour, the band has been busy writing new material, turning that live energy into their most concise, aggressive songs to date. Watch for releases starting in summer 2026, along with performances coinciding with festivals across Canada, the United Kingdom and Europe throughout 2026 and 2027.
