FFO: Amyl and the Sniffers, Die Spitz, Pixies, Hole, L7, Mannequin Pussy, Hot Snakes

Winnipeg’s Death Cassette has announced a new full-length record, “Cheaper to Die,” set for release in late 2026 via High End Denim Records. As they prepare to perform at Purple City Music Festival in Edmonton on September 13, the band has dropped the title track to give everyone a taste of what they’ve created. More details on the impending full-length will be released very soon!

Guitarist Lindsey Hawkes comments, “The title track “Cheaper to Die” is a straight-ahead punk riff with a petulant vocal tone about the frustrations of a reactive healthcare system that seemingly would rather fund someone’s death than life. The lyrics were inspired by vocalist Amanda’s experience working at a nursing home and navigating healthcare support for her disabled, chronically ill grandfather.
