Faiyaz and the Wasted Chances are a POC fronted Toronto punk group that have been described as a raw garage pop band with virtuosic protopunk influences, cheekily modded for today’s listeners. Their sound falls somewhere between Warhol pre-punk and the Toronto DIY indie that they flowered in.

Following roadkill stoner pop hit “Dead Animals” and the video for “Glow” which earned 15000+ views, Faiyaz and the Wasted Chances mean business with a cautionary letter  “antisocial” addressing young artists. The heavy single speaks to the mental health issues born from industry pressure and self-destructive tendencies as one tries to make ends meet while still having fun.
