SCION SESSIONS: Neon Windbreaker perform "Nails" in their parents' Thornhill basement

by AUX staff

Neon Windbreaker are a Toronto five piece treading the spidery line between noise-rock abandon and melodic structure. Having formed in the spring of 2010, they have played across Canada and the United States alongside Pissed Jeans, Do Make Say Think, Male Bonding, DD/MM/YYYY, Monotonix, This Will Destroy You and many more. Some of their influences include: Jesus Lizard, Rocket from the Crypt, Rocket from the Tombs.

Celebrating the launch of their new EP “New Sky”, Neon Windbreaker invited Scion Sessions into a suburban basement to see where it all began. The new video for the song “Nails” captures their brand of controlled chaos in a suburban setting. Shot in multiple rooms of a Thornhill basement, Neon Windbreaker reference the root of where all of their bands started. Neon Windbreaker is an outrageously exciting five-piece, treading the spidery line between noise-rock abandon and melodic structure. Their new EP New Sky is five tracks long and clocks in at under seven and half minutes. A frantic burst of uninhibited creativity, the tracks are chaotic and unpredictable without being needlessly abrasive or obtuse.
