Calgary, AB

Made up of Geneva Haley, Martine Ménard, Rob Vessey and Lace Shaw (all experienced players in the local music scene), Stripmall is self-described as “Western-influenced prairie punk.” Dour yet sprightly, the band brings a noir-ish drama to barebones punk tunes with the help of Haley’s dynamic vocals that jump from hollow sneer to deadpan croon at a moment’s notice.
