These Fast Times are a four-piece punk rock band from Montreal. Formed in 2015, they bring together rough-edged vocals, melodic hooks, and a sense of humor that leaves room for some heavy subjects.

Their 2022 EP, The Road to Hell Is Paved with Good Intentions, takes on substance abuse, mental health, relationships, and difficult choices, pairing pop-punk melodies with a heavier edge. Their new release, “Debt Cemetery,” opens the next chapter, previewing the forthcoming record Thousand Islands.

Loud guitars, a little perspective, and everything in moderation.
