Marked by their gritty and bombastic sound, Soupcans turned the punk music scene on its head in the early 2010s. This Canadian trio, well-known for power-packed performances and an over-the-top DIY aesthetic, gave an interesting edge to their music videos and album artwork, pushing the envelope in terms of originality and expression. Their first video, “Crimes 1” directed by Toronto-based filmmaker Jesi Jordan, displayed a tongue-in-cheek montage juxtaposing segments of performance against fuzzy, choppy visuals, perfectly echoing the raw and disorienting soundscapes that come with their music.
An interesting tidbit, that may catch many by surprise, is that one of the band members, Mike, doubles up as a graphic artist as well. His admiration for recycling culture is quite evident in his designs for Soupcans' album covers. Their album "Soft Party" stands as a testament to this, displaying trashy collages that are visually grotesque, yet oddly intriguing. Their impact was significant, inspiring bands to take control of their visual presentation and innovate beyond the norms. Soupcans, with their music and visuals, changed the game by showing that artistry and grit can indeed co-exist, and in fact, thrive together.
