DVTR has been shaking up the Canadian punk scene, racking up dazzling reviews, best of 2023 lists, sold-out shows and some bootlicking awards for their first ever EP BONJOUR (HELLO). Somewhere between the B-52’s and Jay Reatard, the troublemaking French-speaking duo and its unpredictable antics breaks all language barriers, on stages everywhere from Mexico to the UK. This is fast music: short and not sweet at all: it repeats, it repeats, it repeats – that’s the only way to get the message across. Not for the faint of heart.
