misery contest

Formed in the frigid sprawl of Calgary, Alberta, Misery Contest thrives on emotional tension and honest introspection. Their sound stretches from punchy, pop-punk anthems to haunting, ambient arrangements, each song a raw snapshot of vulnerability, conflict, and catharsis.
At its core, Misery Contest isn’t about chasing trends - it's about telling the truth. With thoughtful lyricism and dynamic instrumentation, they craft music that feels lived-in and deeply personal, sharing honest confessions of dishonesty, thoughtful critiques of thoughtless acts, and energetic expressions of despondent depression.
Misery Contest invites listeners into the discomfort, the beauty, and the complexity of feeling too much, and makes no apology for any of it.
