REGAL FOUL – THIS INFERNO IS SO MESMERIZING
FFO: Rise Against / The Offspring / Taking Back Sunday The Descendants / Gob / Alexisonfire
Banff, Canada’s Regal Foul has released their brand new record entitled “This Inferno Is So Mesmerizing” 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.
McCallum had this to say about the new record: “This album has been a long time coming for us. Recording it ourselves offered up its fair share of hurdles but the final product was something raw, real and something we’re proud of. It describes an age-old tale of regal fouling (messing up royally) and finding a way through the trenches. “This inferno is so mesmerizing” speaks to the part of us that’s a trainwreck bound to crash but also the part of us that hopes for something better.”
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.

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.
