Biography

Canadian punk band Another Joe is back! The group’s new album, Ready or Not, is the first noise from them since disbanding in 2001 after becoming established as one of the top draws in the Canadian scene. Set to drop early in 2023, Ready or Not is an absolutely cracking set of new tunes that will quickly put Another Joe back in front of international crowds of fans, both old and new. The band began in 1995 and built its following through extensive touring and released three well-received albums during its original period, Pee Against the Wind featuring their first hit, Eat at Bernies, Ass Seen on TV (split with fellow Canadian punks, GOB), Cran-doodle Daddy, and Plasti-scene. The group went hard until their drummer left the fold and a proper replacement proved hard to find. They finally called it quits in 2001. Fast-forward to 2022, when Pee Against the Wind was remastered and re-released on streaming. The fan response was overwhelming, and it became clear that there was still a demand for Another Joe The current lineup of Another Joe is the strongest in the group’s history. Guitarist/vocalist Jon Glen, bassist/vocalist Alison Toews, guitarist/vocalist Ryan Wagner, and drummer/vocalist Mario Nieva are a high-energy crew ready to bring their wildly entertaining combination of melody, creativity, anger, and frustration to the masses.
