Canadian indie rock favorites, Gizmo, have announced their debut album, All Your Worships, due out October 2 via Victory Pool. The Charlottetown four-piece have a sound inspired by the guitar-damaged pop of 1990s American slacker bands and their contemporaries on Canada’s east coast. Their carefully crafted songwriting and frenetic live shows breathe new life into familiar sounds, making them one of Canada’s most exciting emerging bands.

Today, the band shares new single “Pantone 312,” a wistful blend of folk and Midwest emo built around conversational storytelling. More intimate than the album’s guitar-forward anthems, it offers a quieter glimpse into the emotional core of All Your Worships.

“Pantone was written about 10 hours before I arrived to the first studio recording day forAll Your Worships,” frontman Julien Kitson shares. “The song’s first lyric and melody came to me in September 2024, but I couldn’t reach a final product until 5 months later, which includes lyrical nods to David Berman and The Rankin Family. We couldn’t squeeze in time to bring it to life during the album sessions, which led to myself and Loel taking it on in his home studio on a muggy April day. The final product became the album’s closer and a new favourite of ours in our live set.”

All Your Worships, comes roaring out of the gate, picking up right where 2023’s livewire Buddy System EP left off without skipping a beat. The new material finds the band mining similar sources but reaching new heights, imbuing their carefully considered, structurally ambitious power-pop songwriting with more unexpected twists and turns.

To record it, the band decamped to a converted community hall in Great Village, Nova Scotia, with co-producers Alex Edkins (METZ, Weird Nightmare) and Loel Campbell (Wintersleep) in tow. They pulled 12-hour days, sleeping at the studio and capping off nights with drunken music listening sessions. The group bonded over their overlapping tastes, sharing a common language when referring to sounds and directions. This helped flesh out the sound; while the record is informed by long-held aesthetic touchpoints like Guided By Voices and Pavement, keen listeners will hear the gothic jangle of REM or the jagged Americana of Silver Jews peeking through in spots as well. Edkins and Campbell mixed the record, with Greg Obis (Stuck, clearance) providing the finishing touches at Chicago Mastering Service.

All Your Worships is a 10-track mission statement from the rare breed of band that arrives fully formed, confidently settling into their first LP and suggesting myriad possibilities for the future.

“Pantone 312” is out July 15th. All Your Worships LP is out 10/2 via Victory Pool.

Gizmo- Bio:

Gizmo are Charlottetown rockers inspired by the guitar-damaged pop of 1990s American slacker bands and their contemporaries on Canada’s east coast. A 120 Minutes band for the Gen Z set, they breathe new life into their vintage influences with a distinctive songwriting style and frenetic live show.

All Your Worships, Gizmo’s debut full-length, comes roaring out of the gate, picking up right where 2023’s livewire Buddy System EP left off without skipping a beat. The new material finds the band mining similar sources but reaching new heights, imbuing their carefully considered, structurally ambitious power-pop songwriting with more unexpected twists and turns.

To record it, the band decamped to a converted community hall in Great Village, Nova Scotia with co-producers Alex Edkins (METZ, Weird Nightmare) and Loel Campbell (Wintersleep) in tow. They pulled 12-hour days, sleeping at the studio and capping off nights with drunken music listening sessions. The group bonded over their overlapping tastes, able to share a common language when referencing sounds and direction.

This helped flesh out the sound; while the record is informed by long-held aesthetic touchpoints like Guided By Voices and Pavement, keen listeners will hear the gothic jangle of REM or the jagged Americana of Silver Jews peeking through in spots as well. Edkins and Campbell mixed the record, with Greg Obis (Stuck, Clearance) providing the finishing touches at Chicago Mastering Service.

The material was hashed out at rehearsals and live shows from 2022-2025, with the band taking a more collaborative approach to composition. This is in stark contrast to Buddy System, largely written solo by frontman Julien Kitson. This time around, each member brought songwriting contributions — bassist Spencer Swaine and guitarist Patrick Stephen take up lead vocals on their tracks “Crystal Palace” and “Faulty Straight Edge Downfall,” respectively. This does not diffuse a clear sense of direction, though. The lyrics take a stream-of-consciousness, observational approach to themes of heartache and coming of age, all topped off by a whip-smart deployment of non-sequiters, inside jokes, and maritime colloquialisms.

The arrangements further compound this unified vision; crisp acoustics, warped offset riffs, melodic basslines, and the laserpoint precision of drummer Daniel Hartinger merge to create an underlying sonic palette. This cohesion is what makes the record’s diversity work — standout tracks like “Antiques Roadshow,” “Celestial,” and album closer “Pantone 312” are disparate on the surface, but all unmistakably Gizmo. All Your Worships is a 10-track mission statement from the rare breed of band that arrives fully-formed, confidently settling into their first LP and suggesting a myriad of possibilities for the future.

Formed in Charlottetown in 2021, their debut four-song EP Buddy System was released in August 2023. Its guitar-driven melodies and catchy hooks quickly earned them a growing audience and won them Rock Recording of the Year at the Music PEI Awards. Following its release, the band signed a publishing deal with CYMBA Music Publishing and continued writing and refining new material in rehearsal spaces and on the road.

Early on, the band toured steadily, building a devoted fanbase through their live performances, sharing stages with acts like Wintersleep, Paper Lions, Cootie Catcher, and Two Hours Traffic, and playing festivals such as Sommo Festival, Project Nowhere, and Nowadays Fest.

In 2025, following a standout performance at Showcase PEI, the band signed to both Victory Pool Records and Noisemaker Management and quickly landed summer 2026 festival slots at Hillside and Paris Drinks Fest.
