Biography

“The energetic melodies that blast through every SEDATIVES song are simple and mind-blowing. This Canadian punk band from Ottawa released their self-titled album some days ago, and it may just be one of the best things that has ever been produced in the history of melodic punk rock. The harmonizing vocals of these four gentlemen are the perfect balance of aggression and sincerity while the predominant bass, the organ and drumbeats keep the motivating energy that drives their music. SEDATIVES set a landmark in the little mundo punko that will shake your heart and legs!” - Peter Eichhorn, P.Trash Records 
 The SEDATIVES anthology, “Some Things You Can’t Forget” - featuring the meticulously remixed s/t LP + ‘Teenage Runaway’ 7” c/o Jesse Gander (d.b.s., Needles//Pins) at Rain City Recorders - is available everywhere as of October 7th, 2022.
