In the past year, DVTR has definitely been shaking up the Canadian punk scene, racking up dazzling reviews, best of 2023 lists, sold out shows and some bootlicking awards for their first ever EP “BONJOUR”. Somewhere between the B-52s and fast DIY punk à la Jay Reatard, Demi Lune & Jean Divorce’s troublemaking duo pours out its bile on often surprising, sometimes awkward, and always salvatory soundscapes. Its unpredictable stage antics break all language barriers, already taking the band on stages everywhere from Mexico to the UK. DVTR is French-speaking, female-fronted, short and not sweet at all: it repeats, it repeats, it repeats – that’s the only way to get the message across. Vasectomy for all, ACAB, Rhum coke and MDMA, etcetera, etcetera. A simple fuck off to anyone who’d need a reminder before everything burns? As the legendary magazine CULT MTL recently said: "This is a live band doing what great live bands do, live: entertaining, f*cking with people’s heads, having fun, and showing what they’ve got – crazy licks – without showing off.”.
