Banff, Canada’s Regal Foul has announced a brand new record entitled “This Inferno Is So Mesmerizing” to be released on April 7, 2026 via High End Denim Records.
Answering a Facebook ad looking to form ‘Banff’s best punk band’ seemed like a ‘no-brainer’ for Gerry Roy (guitar) and Brian MacEachern (bass) in 2017. While that project quickly fizzled out, it started a friendship that would eventually include Mitch McCallum (drums) and form Regal Foul.
Outliving most bands that come and go in the outdoor tourist town of Banff, the members of Regal Foul are pillars in their local music scene. In 2024 Mitch opened Silent Canvas, offering private lessons, rehearsal space and recording several projects. Later that same year, Gerry launched the ‘Banff Punk Night’ monthly concert series that attracts interest in Banff’s music scene from around the world.
Regal Foul’s newest album is a crafted tale of defeat and introspection emerging into self-acceptance culminating in the solace of the Rocky Mountains. The first two lead singles “WTWTA” and “Scorched Earth” are already streaming and you can pre-order the vinyl here!
