Welcome to Contrabandit. We’re a 5-piece punk band based out of Ottawa, Canada. We started the band in the Spring of 2005.
Our members met in Ottawa playing shows together while in other bands. Brothers Nick and Al quickly joined forces with Nick and Marc and began making music, adding Derek on vocals, completing the line-up. One strength that we’ve always had was the diversity of our members; three former lead singers, two established drummers, and five guitarists have really add depth to the writing process.
From the start, Contrabandit have been making exactly the kind of music we want to hear; aggressive, melodic punk. Regardless of how it’s done, Contrabandit are making music and will continue to do so, with or without the support of others.
Help us out! Tell your friends about us!
