Mad Iris

Toronto’s Mad Iris has been playing live in the local underground scene since 2023, blending noise rock, punk, and shoegaze into a sound that honors influences like Sonic Youth, Pixies, and the Breeders.

Their self-titled debut album, out May 29th, 2026, covers desire, obsession, longing, and grief, taking place in basements, night buses, and gas stations, with gum stuck to desks and drinks spilled on sticky floors.

With a deliberate sound, style, and presence, Mad Iris goes beyond being a band, and becoming more of an art project.
