Nobro is a Canadian garage punk band based in Montreal, Quebec.[1][2] The band was formed by vocalist and bass guitarist Kathryn McCaughey (formerly of Uncle Bad Touch),[3] vocalist and guitarist Marianna Florczyk, and vocalist and drummer Martha Rodriguez in mid-2014.[4][5][6] Sarah Dion replaced Rodriguez in 2015, and Florczyk departed in May 2017 to be replaced by Gabrielle La Rue, who joined at the same time as keyboardist and percussionist Lisandre Bourdages.[7][8][9] Karolane Carbonneau replaced La Rue in November 2018.[7][8][9]

Releases

[edit | edit source]

The band self-released a three-song demo in November 2014,[10] and followed-up with its debut extended play, Stoke Level: High!, released after several months of delay through Canadian record label Brain Gum Records in April 2016.[11] Dutch record label Geertruida released a European edition of Stoke Level: High! in September 2016.[12] After recording eight songs in February 2016, the band announced that it would release its debut LP, Sick Hustle, in 2018, but it was delayed and only some of the songs were ultimately released in a cut-down EP version two years later.[13] In May 2018, the band released the single "The Kids Are Back".[13]

In January 2020, Nobro was simultaneously signed to Canadian record label Dine Alone Records (after years of courtship from the company) and British record label Big Scary Monsters Recording Company,[12][14] announcing the release of Sick Hustle as a four-song extended play, due out in April 2020.[15][16] The band had recorded six songs with producer Thomas D'Arcy for the release.[17] In February 2022,[18][19] the band released another extended play through Dine Alone and Big Scary Monsters, Live Your Truth Shred Some Gnar, which was also produced by Thomas D'Arcy.[20][21] Live Your Truth Shred Some Gnar was recorded in August 2020, but the band held off on releasing it while waiting out the COVID-19 pandemic.[22]

In 2023, the band released their debut full-length record Set Your Pussy Free. In 2024, the album was a shortlisted nominee for the 2024 Polaris Music Prize,[23] and in 2025, the album won the Juno for Rock Album of the Year. [24]
