Ceilings is a Winnipeg-bred hardcore-adjacent emo grunge/shoegaze (or if you prefer it, grungegaze) band, essentially a supergroup. As far as I can tell, they formed sometime around late 2017 or 2018, and have been playing every local dive bar, social club, bowling alley and taphouse in the city since then. The lineup currently consists of vocalist/guitarist Trevor Buckley, guitarist Nick "The Fonz" Fondse (who also plays in Locater), drummer Sean Kaye (who also plays with Elder Abuse, Locater and Witchtrip), and Josh on bass and backing vocals.
Forming close friendships with other notable punk bands in the WPG and surrounding scene including The Uglies, Broken Nose Mall Santa and Higherlows (a band with members of Escape from Echo Base), Ceilings have taken their unique, noisy sound, fit with guitarist Nick's absolutely unmistakable guitar tone, and have expanded their reach out west, with spring 2023 dates out in Vancouver and Edmonton/Calgary with Swear Jar and others. Once they finish that leg of dates, they come back to play a show in Winnipeg on May 26th at the Goodwill Social Club, with How To Boil Water (past members of Look North/Prinport), Lake Disappointment and Harley James Flett.
Ceilings are an incredible band and the Winnipeg scene is lucky to have them, I have very much enjoyed the shows I've seen and the interactions I've had with their band members. Check out their latest EP, Double Vision, and listen to the early stuff too. Also, do consider supporting the band by buying their merch, because the designs (some of the recent ones done by Josh himself) look really sick.
I'll throw some links down below where you can access their Bandcamp and social medias, etc.
