Baby's First Pistol

Baby’s First Pistol was born from a shared passion for crafting an unparalleled, unfiltered, and explosive sonic experience. Hailing from the underground Toronto indie/punk/alternative circuit, the lineup consists of Alex Black (vocals), Matt KillBorn (guitar), Tim Nox (bass), and Aaron Matthews (drums). Together, they fuse relentless, breakneck music with a wild live performance that leaves audiences breathless and confused.

Described by critics as "The soundtrack to your nihilism" and "What would happen if David Lynch listened to too much Black Flag.", Baby’s First Pistol has carved a niche by captivating audiences with a sound labelled as Fathercore, that's both artistically abrasive and accessible, delving into themes of absurdity, nihilism, and biting commentary on societal norms.

The 4-track debut EP "hi." instantly caught fire upon release through independent music distributors, seizing the spotlight as a top-selling noise punk gem and garnering both domestic and overseas attention. Securing airplay on both European and North American independent radio, the album is described as "Wonderfully, deliciously weird" by Operation X-Ray Radio, while UK music blogger and former Glastonbury Emerging Talent Judge Paul Kerr pinpointed the single Holodomor as "...edgy...angry undertones that threaten to boil over at any minute. It sounds like a twitchy, tetchy, PIL, Johnny Rotten's post Pistols post-punk pioneers, embracing hardcore."
