Ptarmageddon

A Ptarmageddon show is like listening to that burnt CD that lived in your first car. What ties their genre-bending sound together are rich vocal harmonies and tight arrangements, leaving enough space for some guitar pyrotechnics by frontman Scott Neary. The Labrador-based band has earned four Music NL Award nominations to date, including Alternative Group of the Year. The original trio came together in 2021 as a pandemic project, live-streaming acoustic covers from their living rooms. Since releasing their debut EP, Holding Pattern, and following it up with a concept album, Dream Logic (2022), they’ve become one of the most sought-after groups in the region. Their collaborative, playful songwriting approach has generated a truly eclectic catalogue of songs, ranging from sincere to tongue-in-cheek.
