What is a ma? What is a ma? What is a mother to do? Bad Waitress, Toronto based punk band, has more than few thoughts on that. 

What began as a duo known as Nude Dogs, the band has evolved to its current manifestation as a quartet, with Kali-Ann Butala (she/her) and Katelyn Molgard (they/them) on vocals & guitar, Eva Moon (they/them) on drums, and Nicole Cain (she/her) on Bass. No Taste is their debut full-length album, released in 2021. 

It sounds like…

Layers of drums, guitars and vocals coming together in energetic collaboration. The sound is rich, bold, loud, and pulsating. It’s in your face both musically and lyrically. The collection of tracks swings across a spectrum of moods, vacillating between rage and allure. As bassist Nicole describes, it’s basically a self-defense album. Let No taste be your shield; the fuel to empower your own protection. 

For the ultimate cathartic experience, Pup recommends singing along.
