Fist City

Fist City is a raucous garage-punk quartet hailing from Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada, known for their fuzzed-out riffs, irreverent energy, and DIY spirit. Emerging in the early 2010s, they carved a niche with their lo-fi recordings and chaotic live shows, blending surf-rock twang with punk snarl. Their discography, including releases like *Everything Is a Mess* (2015) and *Fuck Cops* (2017), often channels themes of absurdity, frustration, and anti-authoritarian wit, delivered through blown-out vocals and scuzzy guitar work. They’ve collaborated on splits with bands like The Blind Shake and shared stages with garage-punk heavyweights, embodying the scrappy ethos of Canada’s underground rock scene. While details about their personal lives remain low-key (in true punk fashion), their releases—including the gnarly *Buried / Cryptic Transmissions* (2020)—keep their reputation as unapologetic noise-makers intact.
