Casper Skulls
Casper Skulls are a Canadian indie rock band from Toronto, Ontario.[1] They are most noted for receiving a SOCAN Songwriting Prize nomination in 2018 for their song "Lingua Franca".[2] HistoryCasper Skulls was formed in 2015 by Neil Bednis and Melanie St-Pierre, musicians and romantic partners from Sudbury[3] who moved to the Toronto area when St-Pierre started studying art and design at Sheridan College.[1] They added bassist Fraser McClean and drummer Chris Anthony,[1] and began performing in Toronto venues. In 2016 they signed with Buzz Records and released their debut EP Lips & Skull.[4][5] In 2017, they released their debut full-length album, Mercy Works.[6][7] During their tour to support the album, they were involved in a vehicle collision en route to SXSW, and launched a crowdfunding campaign to assist in paying for a new tour van.[8] The band members themselves were uninjured, and were able to get to Austin to perform.[8] In 2019, they went on tour as a supporting act for PUP, a punk rock group from Toronto, on their Morbid Stuff Tour-Pocalypse.[9] The band released its second full-length album, Knows No Kindness, in 2021.[10] Melanie St-Pierre has also released solo music under the name l'loop.[11] References
