For Sc Mira, it91裸聊视频檚 all about carving their own path in a world full of derivative music.

Winnipeg91裸聊视频檚 staunch supporters of the independent movement took their belief to the next level and the genre death pop, which will have it91裸聊视频檚 Okanagan debut at Vernon91裸聊视频檚 The Green April 22, was born.

91裸聊视频淲hat we decided to call it is death pop,91裸聊视频� said Mario Lagasse, who tows the bass line. 91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 pop with a harsher edge. It91裸聊视频檚 fun, totally a new thing.91裸聊视频�

Death pop, which Lagasse said is in the vein of Canadian synth-pop icons Metric illuminated under a heavier and darker light, was brought to the forefront after Sc Mira joined forces with mix-engineer Ferro Montanino for their self-produced EPs Keep Crawling and Drug Warm Coma.

Montanino, also a Winnipeg-product and classically-trained pianist and pop producer who rose to international renown after collaborating with electronic-music giant Skrillex for the film Spring Breakers, helped the five-piece band uncover their sound, as evidenced on Drug Warm Coma, which drops April 20, just before the Vernon performance.

91裸聊视频淭he new EP is a wonderful mix of the five band members,91裸聊视频� Lagasse said, adding that each member has a unique and distinct musical background. 91裸聊视频淚t really just came from spending a lot of time together. We91裸聊视频檙e very, very happy with it.91裸聊视频�

Drug Warm Coma, the second of Sc Mira91裸聊视频檚 offerings in a pairing of parallel EPs, also denotes a new era for the band, Lagasse said.

Sc Mira has its roots in a Winnipeg warehouse converted into a studio in 2013, when singer Sadye Cage and axeman Ty Vega began jamming together. The duo, who had been touring Winnipeg91裸聊视频檚 coffeehouses and open mics, released Waiting Room Baby in 2015, garnering attention from Noisey, and Sc Mira began to take shape.

Enter bassist Lagasse, Caro LaFlamme on keys and now ex-drummer Jed Desilets, who was replaced by Joel Leonhardt in late-2016.

91裸聊视频淩eally, the band has been around for five years but about two years with the current lineup,91裸聊视频� Lagasse said.

Now with their complete, dream team lineup, Lagasse said, it91裸聊视频檚 time to expand their reach and get Sc Mira in peoples91裸聊视频� earbuds.

91裸聊视频淭his whole project is to cement our sound and garner industry recognition,91裸聊视频� Lagasse said. 91裸聊视频淭his is basically a turning point for the band.91裸聊视频�

Starting in Vancouver in late April, the tour sees Sc Mira debut their sound in new locales before ending at Canadian Music Week 2018 in Toronto.

And, now that the momentum has started, Lagasse said they hope to just enjoy the ride.

91裸聊视频淲hat I love is just being creative, just having an outlet to get out the crap you deal with in the day and live life to the fullest,91裸聊视频� Lagasse said. 91裸聊视频淢usic is all I91裸聊视频檝e ever known.91裸聊视频�

The 24-year-old bassist first picked up the strings at age 14 and hasn91裸聊视频檛 looked back since.

91裸聊视频淭his band is my main outlet,91裸聊视频� Lagasse said.

While their tunes delve deep into the darkness, their live performance is far from mellow.

91裸聊视频淲e91裸聊视频檙e an extremely exciting live band. It91裸聊视频檚 not a theatrical show, but we do think about our stage presence,91裸聊视频� Lagasse said. 91裸聊视频淒eath pop leans towards energy.91裸聊视频�
