The Sainte Catherines are a punk rock band hailing from Montreal, Quebec, Canada, known for their raucous live performances and a distinctly gritty punk ethos infused with elements of hardcore. Formed in 1999 by lead vocalist Hugo Mudie, the band carved out a niche within the Canadian punk scene, delivering emotion-laden lyrics that tackled both personal and social issues, wrapped up in aggressive guitars and a relentless, driving rhythm. Over the years, they've cultivated a dedicated following that's drawn to their energetic music and unapologetically blunt social commentary.

Their discography, part of which includes the explosive "Fire Works" released in 2010, showcases the band's evolution from their early days of raw punk to a more nuanced sound that does not shy away from melodic hooks and a more polished production without sacrificing their edge. Prior to that, in 2006, they delivered "Dancing for Decadance," an album that solidified their place in the punk rock scene with its anthemic choruses and pounding drums, securing their reputation as stalwarts of Canadian punk. The EP "The Soda Machine," although less known, continues to display their propensity for crafting memorable punk rock tunes reflective of their persistent creative energies. The Sainte Catherines have left an indelible mark on the punk scene with their candid storytelling and infectious energy, garnering respect and admiration among punk rock aficionados.
