Bad Skin

Bad Skin is a fierce all-female punk rock band from Montreal, Canada, formed in 2015 (though some sources note 2016). With their colorful outfits, killer stage presence, and unapologetic vibes, the lineup features lead singer and rhythm guitarist Dope, lead guitarist Victoria, bassist Maria, and drummer Samantha—they're all about smashing norms and rocking hard with themes of girl empowerment and embracing imperfections (the name's a nod to loving your "bad skin" no matter what).

They've powered through challenges like the pandemic, dropping three albums including the grunge-punk banger *Live Fast Die Punk* and *Heartbreak Tour*, while touring the UK, hitting massive fests like Rebellion Punk (2023), Le Phoque OFF, Spike Festival in Bulgaria, and even Summerfest in the US. Tracks like "We Are The Girls" (a collab with Korea's Rumkicks), "Grey Day," and "Dancing Queen" keep their high-energy scene buzzing.
