Headstones

Headstones are a Canadian rock band that excavated its way into the music scene with an unapologetically raw and intense approach in the early 1990s. Anchored by the charismatic and often confrontational frontman Hugh Dillon, the band carved a niche with their aggressive blend of punk, hard rock, and blues. Alongside Dillon, the group’s foundation includes guitarist Trent Carr, bassist Tim White, and drummer Dale Harrison, whose chemistry and high-octane performances have fueled the band's enduring appeal.

Originally hailing from Kingston, Ontario, the Headstones quickly established a reputation for their potent live shows and no-holds-barred lyrical content, exploring themes of disenchantment, rebellion, and dark humor. The band's discography showcases a dedication to maintaining a gritty edge while evolving their sound over the years. Notable for their impactful entry on the Canadian music landscape with albums like "Picture of Health" and "Teeth and Tissue," the Headstones have continued to deliver assertive rock anthems and reflective ballads into the 21st century, with recent releases such as "PEOPLESKILLS" and singles like "Horses" and "The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald." Despite industry changes, Headstones have endured and maintain a loyal fanbase, a testament to their resilience and the timeless appeal of their hard-hitting rock sound.
