Black Pontiac is a band born out of tension. Emerging from an underground DIY community they helped reshape in the wake of the pandemic, the Vancouver, BC quartet has been walking a careful line ever since; balancing grit, glam, garage rock edge and indie-pop hooks. Drawing from acts such as Cage the Elephant and The Clash, their sound thrives in the push and pull, and with an energetic live show, an enthusiastic cult following, over 27 million streams on Spotify, as well as several tours, festival appearances, and support slots for acts like lovelytheband and Peach Pit under their belt, the band is poised to turn up the tension even higher with a new project coming June 2026: A Danger to Himself and Others, their 2nd full length LP. The record dives headfirst into the chaos and contradictions that have come to define Black Pontiac; a reckless, anxious, swaggering, and tender collection of songs grappling with the performance of danger as a coping mechanism, the fear of falling apart, and the desperate attempt to carve out a sense of joy and belonging in the mess.
