In a landmark year filled with several international tours, millions of music streams, plus a feature in the 2024’s revision of the cult classic film The Crow, Canadian cold wave duo TRAITRS demonstrated all throughout 2024 why they are one of the hardest working bands in the modern goth scene. With their nightmarish mosaic of icy guitars, melancholic synths, motorik drum machine rhythms, anthemic melodies woven together with horror-laced lyricism, TRAITRS captures the spirit of older bands like The Cure, Bauhaus and Cocteau Twins, while keeping their feet firmly planted in the present day. In late 2015, Shawn Tucker (vocalist/guitarist) formed TRAITRS with writer/keyboardist Sean-Patrick Nolan in Toronto, Ontario as the two shared a fondness for punk, electronic music and art house horror films and spent endless months developing their angular cold wave sound before recording with acclaimed producer and multi-instrumentalist, Josh Korody at Candle Recording. In April 2016, TRAITRS released their debut cassette tape Rites and Ritual on Toronto’s hip boutique label Pleasence Records, which quickly garnered underground buzz in Germany, Peru, Brazil, Mexico and France. That momentum carried the duo into 2018 when TRAITRS released their critically acclaimed second album Butcher’s Coin (Pleasence Records, Manic Depression Records, Alchera Visions). Based on the stratospheric success of lead single “Thin Flesh”, along with live favorites “The Lovely Wounded” and “The Suffering of Spiders”, Butcher’s Coin proved itself to be one of the seminal goth releases of the last decade. As of this writing, “Thin Flesh” has over 10 million streams on Spotify and in August 2024, the song featured in 2024’s version of the cult classic film The Crow starring Bill Skarsgård and FKA Twigs. Since 2018, TRAITRS have performed in over 25 countries, including showcases at several international music festivals including Sanctuary, Levitation Fest, Wave Gothik Treffen
