REMG Entertainment & Canadian Music Fest 2010 are proud to present P.O.S live in concert at Sneaky Dee’s on Sunday, March 14.
P.O.S has built his reputation as an innovator, with an unlikely punk rock past and expressive, honest content. He re-earns the accolades with every release. His records capture his charisma—they’re driving and sincere, the dark moments counterbalanced by some giggling banter with the engineer.
As a teenager, P.O.S fell hard for punk rock. Minor Threat, At the Drive-In, Refused, Kid Dynamite. He played in a series of hardcore bands, sometimes as a drummer, sometimes on guitar and vocals and simultaneously, pursued hip-hop, rapping in the hallways and after school.
P.O.S. released his first rap record, Ipecac Neat, in 2003. The album earned him a dedicated following of critics and underground fans. Two years later they devoured his melodic sophomore release Audition, which featured collaborations with heavyweights like Slug from Atmosphere, Craig Finn of The Hold Steady and Greg Attonito of The Bouncing Souls.
Amidst the swagger, the laughter and the wit, P.O.S. also provides a portal to his personal life—a young man ferociously determined to succeed as a father, a musician, and a human being. He’s earnest, sometimes frustrated, irresistibly likable, and he’s goofy. With that kind of wingspan, he can rally almost any crowd. He can make a rap show feel like a revival, a mosh pit, or a reunion. He will stand on chair. He’ll invent a dance. Then the beat drops, the hands go up, and you’re converted.
