The story

The Famines are an art cult noise garage duo based out of Montreal, Canada, in which Raymond Biesinger sings, guitars, and executes the visual end of things and Drew Demers hits the drums. They’ve spread DIY minimalist maximalism across Canada coast to coast eight times since 2008, put out five 7” records, a 12” LP, a few books, a pamphlet, an 8-track, a live cassette coupled with 268-pages of liner notes, and a few other format experiments. Also known as “Pentagon Black.”
