The OBGMs are a Black-fronted punk band from Toronto, Canada, and one of the most electrifying live acts in modern rock. Known for their explosive performances and fearless energy, they’ve become a defining force in the new wave of punk — loud, anthemic, and unapologetically themselves.

Their album Sorry, It’s Over, a brutally honest reflection on therapy, heartbreak, and self-growth, earned The OBGMs their second Polaris Music Prize Short List nomination, cementing their place among Canada’s most vital voices. The record turns personal struggle into stadium-sized catharsis — every scream, riff, and lyric a step toward closure.

Fronted by Densil “Denz” McFarlane, alongside Colanthony “Cola” Humphrey, Simon Outhit, and Joseph Brosnan, the band channels chaos into clarity, standing shoulder to shoulder with artists like Turnstile, IDLES, and PUP while carving out a sound that’s distinctly their own.

For The OBGMs, punk isn’t nostalgia. It’s rebirth.
