Black Pontiac

Electric Enemy at The Stags Head

Black Pontiac is a band born out of tension. Emerging from an underground DIY community they helped reshape in the wake of the pandemic, the independent Vancouver, BC quartet has been walking a careful line ever since; balancing grit, glam, garage rock edge and indie-pop hooks.

Drawing from acts such as Cage the Elephant and The Clash, their sound thrives in a push and pull combined with a DIY spirit and an energetic live show. With an enthusiastic cult following across North America, over 10 millions streams on Spotify, as well as several tours, festival appearances, and support slots for acts like lovelytheband and Peach Pit under their belt, the band is poised to turn up the tension even higher with their latest project: A Danger to Himself and Others, their 2nd full length LP, A Danger to Himself and Others, available now everywhere. The record dives headfirst into the chaos and contradictions that have come to define Black Pontiac; a reckless, anxious, swaggering, and tender collection of songs grappling with the performance of danger as a coping mechanism, the fear of falling apart, and the desperate attempt to carve out a sense of joy and belonging in the mess.
