The Poubelles are a three-piece band from Victoria, BC, blending modern rock with garage influences, and fueled by ’80s New Wave and ’90s Alternative energy. With Amber on drums and lead vocals, Kent on bass, and Steve on guitar, they craft hook-driven, guitar-heavy songs that you can sing along to. Since forming in 2018, The Poubelles have built a strong presence in the Victoria music scene, earning The Zone @ 91-3’s Band of the Month in 2022 and playing festivals like Laketown Rock. Their releases, including Exaspirator (2022) and the anti-holiday hit Here For The Holidays (2024), showcase their evolving sound, while their energetic live performances continue to draw in new listeners and fans.
