Earning the reputation of 'your favourite band's favourite band,' the quartet known as Pile (Rick Maguire (vocals / guitar), Kris Kuss (drums), Matt Connery (bass) and Matt Becker (guitar)) have been setting the DIY indie punk scene ablaze since 2009, developing a unanimously praised back catalogue and a legion of diehard fans throughout the entire country and abroad in the process. Armed with previous albums 'Dripping' (2012), 'Magic Isn't Real' (2010) and 'Jerk Routine' (2009), all the way back to the aptly-titled first ever 'Demonstration' tape release, the band have toured heavily with their heavy sound over the past six years, playing all ages venues and basements in the spirit of DIY culture with peers Speedy Ortiz, Big Ups, LVL UP, Two Inch Astronaut and Krill as well as support shows with bands like Obits, Ex Hex and Metz.
