0 Fort McMurray’s SUPERMODEL TAXIDERMY Announces Lineup For Their Open Air Fest “Party In The Park 2” – Sept 14th

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – August 19, 2024

Fort McMurray’s SUPERMODEL TAXIDERMY Announces Lineup For Their Open Air Fest “Party In The Park 2”

Sept 14th – Bob Lamb Bandstand at Borealis Park in Downtown Fort McMurray

+ New Album “At What Cost” Out Now!

Having steamrolled across Western Canada this summer with tour dates in support of their new album “At What Cost” released this past May on Punishment 18 Records, Fort McMurray, AB’s Supermodel Taxidermy announces a hometown show and their open-air festival “Party In The Park 2”.

Hosted on September 14th at the Bob Lamb Bandstand at Borealis Park in downtown Fort McMurray, the 2nd edition of the music event is organized by the band to give back to their hometown community and is 100% free to attend.

Festival organizer and Supermodel Taxidermy‘s Shawn Maynard explains how Party In The Park was conceived.

“It’s time to start introducing what this festival is and how it came about… My name is Shawn, and I am the festival coordinator/promoter. Last year, my band (Supermodel Taxidermy) decided to put on a free outdoor show for the city of Fort McMurray; with the help of a few of our friends (those thanks are coming), we recruited four local bands and teamed up with a food truck. As it turns out the show was a success; it inspired our band to keep the earnings we made throughout this last year and try it again just on a much bigger scale. But let’s rewind a bit; as a youth in Fort McMurray, I remember how much it meant to me when bands in the punk and metal genres would come up here and play for us. Back then, we were starving for a music scene, and not much was happening. Groups like The Smalls from Edmonton would come up to play and we would go absolutely ballistic because we had a way to let out steam in the mosh pit on a Friday night. I’m now 42, and I still remember the effect it had on me; it’s one of the reasons I got into playing in bands myself. It’s also the reason I like to perform in smaller towns.

So now that the ball is in our court, we are paying it forward to the youth in our remote city. This year, with the help of an exuberant number of locals I grew up with, my idea has blossomed into a reality. I’ve reached out to business owners and company executives that I went to school with, all of whom are part of this amazing event. As I said earlier, the thanks are coming, but for now, it’s about sharing what Party in the Park 2 is about. So bring a lawn chair or a blanket on September 14th and come sit on the hill and enjoy a day of heavy and fast music. This year, we have ten bands from across the province, two styles of food trucks, and there may even be a spot for a beverage if you are 18+, that is. No promises but more details are coming. Thanks for reading and I’ll see you on the 14th, Shawn!

This year’s “Party In The Park 2” lineup features bands from across Alberta with Edmonton’s Forsaken Rite, Kilusan, The Judge The Juror, and Knife Fight In The O.R., Sylvan Lake’s Chuck Spadina, and local support from Fort McMurray’s 3 Fat Daddies, Static Horizon, Bizza in a Box and The Big Dirty.

With their new album “At What Cost”, Supermodel Taxidermy delivers an electrifying blend of intense riffs, powerful vocals, and unbridled energy that will leave listeners craving for more.

“If you haven’t checked out the album yet, we think it is going to exceed the expectations of our early listeners while also adding dynamics with new elements that we decided to enforce all over the record. Things such as Cheney’s crushing vocals. We do a lot of back-and-forth vocals on this record. This record was made to catch your ears with its intense guitar hooks, heavy drums, and catchy bass lines all while keeping your attention to the lyrical topics at hand.” adds the band.

Lyrically, the majority of this album looks at death; a lot of the writings question the cause and effect of vices and the wrong choices that can be made throughout our lives. Musically, this album is fast and heavy as hell. Supermodel Taxidermy wanted to have it throwing left hooks repeatedly, there are not many moments on this record when it gives you a break.

The band was formed after an overwhelming response to the EP “A Whorer Story”, which was intended to be a one-off solo record, and since then they have been staking a claim for themselves in the local scene. The album, ten tracks coming in at just under half an hour, was produced by Rob Lawless and mixed/mastered by Terry Paholek, showcasing the band’s commitment to delivering an exciting listening experience. This thrash metal and hardcore punk collision is recommended for fans of Iron Reagan, Dayglo Abortions, and Slayer.

“it’s fun and catchy, it’s crazy fast and just makes you want to throw yourself into walls.” – The Metal Crypt
​
“At What Cost is one richly impressive and increasingly addictive release. It looks like SUPERMODEL TAXIDERMY is coming for the world and the cost? Sheer pleasure!” – The Ringmaster Review
​
“blends skate punk with elements of thrash into a lethal concoction that slaps you in the face as it runs by. The atmosphere they create is explosive; a mix of punk rock energy with thrash level instrumentals. Their sound is reminiscent of Bad Brains or Minor Threat, but with a harsher bite. The amount of authentic punk energy Supermodel Taxidermy crammed into this record is almost unbelievable, and when combined with the instrumental elements of thrash, its tone is almost deadly. Energetic and emphatic, the band’s raw mix of chaotic energies serves them well on this record. There is no real lull in energy at any point within this record, proving that if Supermodel Taxidermy can do anything, it’s bring in the heat.” – Heavy Music Headquarters
​
“Punk rock and thrash when combined can elevate the energy to that youthful exuberance that is hard to resist. Supermodel Taxidermy lean into their love of those styles on At What Cost, creating an enthusiastic platter that channels its messages in short, solid songs that will get the hordes moving. Could be the best skater soundtrack to bust out those rad, death defying moves for 2024.” – DeadRhetoric

Coming off their headlining performance at Rock The Rails in Fort McMurray, AB, and their set at Alternative Waves Festival in Medicine Hat, AB, Supermodel Taxidermy have a new video for their track “The Hanging Tree” to get fans warmed up for the pit for their next upcoming show dates in Saskatchewan and Lethbridge, AB with legendary Montreal punks Ripcordz (dates listed below).

“The Hanging Tree” is off the trio’s new album “At What Cost” released this past May on Punishment 18 Records.

The band comments:

“This song was found in one of Reilly’s lyric books. Shawn revised it to suit his singing style but lyrically its content was crossed over from Reilly’s story of an actual hanging tree into Shawn’s vision of paganism and the cycle of death and regrowth. It’s 196 bpm of pure metal.”

With a track record of turning heads and pushing boundaries, Supermodel Taxidermy promises to deliver an electrifying blend of intense riffs, powerful vocals, and unbridled energy that will leave listeners craving for more with their new album “At What Cost”.

“Supermodel Taxidermy takes skate punk, hardcore, and thrash to the next level with loud riffs, catchy lyrics, and infectious energy. They released the EP A Whorer Story in January, but they’ve returned with a new, standalone single. The latest track, “Blood Painted Dash,” is ready to make your ears pop!” – Canadian Beats (2022)

Lyrically, the majority of this album looks at death; a lot of the writings question the cause and effect of vices and the wrong choices that can be made throughout our lives. Musically this album is fast and heavy as hell. Supermodel Taxidermy wanted to have it throwing left hooks repeatedly, there are not many moments on this record when it gives you a break.

The band was formed after an overwhelming response to the EP “A Whorer Story”, which was intended to be a one-off solo record, and since then they have been staking a claim for themselves in the local scene. The album, ten tracks coming in at just under half an hour, was produced by Rob Lawless and mixed/mastered by Terry Paholek, showcasing the band’s commitment to delivering an exciting listening experience. This thrash metal and hardcore punk collision is recommended for fans of Iron Reagan, Dayglo Abortions, and Slayer.

“blends skate punk with elements of thrash into a lethal concoction that slaps you in the face as it runs by. The atmosphere they create is explosive; a mix of punk rock energy with thrash level instrumentals. Their sound is reminiscent of Bad Brains or Minor Threat, but with a harsher bite. The amount of authentic punk energy Supermodel Taxidermy crammed into this record is almost unbelievable, and when combined with the instrumental elements of thrash, its tone is almost deadly. Energetic and emphatic, the band’s raw mix of chaotic energies serves them well on this record. There is no real lull in energy at any point within this record, proving that if Supermodel Taxidermy can do anything, it’s bring in the heat.” – Heavy Music Headquarters

“Punk rock and thrash when combined can elevate the energy to that youthful exuberance that is hard to resist. Supermodel Taxidermy lean into their love of those styles on At What Cost, creating an enthusiastic platter that channels its messages in short, solid songs that will get the hordes moving. Could be the best skater soundtrack to bust out those rad, death defying moves for 2024.” – DeadRhetoric

“‘A Whorer Story’ sounds like a crossover album, fans of the genre are bound to get on board with it and whilst there isn’t anything really new, it does set the stage for the remainder of their career.” – Metal Digest (2022)

“Supermodel Taxidermy takes skate punk, hardcore, and thrash to the next level with loud riffs, catchy lyrics, and infectious energy. They released the EP A Whorer Story in January, but they’ve returned with a new, standalone single. The latest track, “Blood Painted Dash,” is ready to make your ears pop!” – Canadian Beats (2022)
