Small-Town Strip Club has been steadily building their name as they make strides in the indie world of rock. With over 1 million cumulative streams, the Stratford, Ontario, natives craft songs with personal writing, heartfelt storytelling, sharp lyricism, and a sound that blends blues, rock, country, and alternative influences. STSC has already made waves with their track “CHEAP SHOT,” which served as the intro for Spittin’ Chiclets, the world’s #1 hockey podcast, and performed at the podcast’s live show during NHL All-Star Weekend in Toronto in 2024. They’ve shared stages with James Barker Band and BIG WRECK, playing to sold-out crowds of over 1,500. They’ve even brought their energy to a Hamilton Tiger-Cats CFL game playing pregame and at half-time. And in Summer 2024, STSC won Lucknow’s Music in the Fields Emerging Artist Competition, awarding themselves a showcase to perform to thousands at the iconic Ontario music festival.

Their debut LP, Through The Noise is came out in Winter 2025, and it has been years in the making—a culmination of the band’s journey and evolution since they started jamming in 2017.

“We believe we’re just scratching the surface, we’re confident that we have a sound that resonates with people and stories that will cut through the noise.”
