Across five acclaimed underground albums, Devours — the electropunk project of Vancouver-based DIY artist Jeff Cancade — has written confessional and confrontational electronic music about masculinity, body image, gay politics, and inner-city queer existence. Their most recent album, Sports Car Era, came out in March and featured Japandroids’ David Prowse on drums for the live release show.
