The Meringues (Kingston, ON) are a post-punk powerhouse known for their explosive live shows and captivating stage presence.
At the heart of The Meringues are Amanda Pants and Ted Evans sharing lead vocals. Their onstage antics create a captivating dynamic that blurs the line between playful banter and an intense rivalry. This unique interaction has become a defining characteristic of the band and their live shows.
The Meringues also feature Jackson Baird on bass, and Alastair Morrison on drums. The two provide a solid foundation to complement and support Ted and Amanda’s electrifying presence.
The band’s intense delivery of each song creates a thrilling atmosphere where the entire show can seem like it’s about to spiral out of control. However, beneath all the chaos lies a band with a clear vision and purpose. The Meringues craft their music with a blend of catchy, memorable melodies and fiercely sharp lyrics, showcasing their focused energy and artistic prowess.
Their lyrics and song content strike to the core of relationship dysfunction, as well as the prevalence of self-doubt and darkness that exist within so many of us.
Their sophomore album, Pavlova’s Dog, explores the intersection The Meringues have created at fun and dysfunction. Spanning from deep and dark psychological themes to playful, child-like perspectives, the album features 11 songs that weave these elements together artistically and coherently. Pavlova’s Dog lets listeners know exactly who The Meringues are as a band.
