CARMINE is a band dedicated to excess. Blending shimmering, multi-layered synth hooks, decadent harmonies, and over-the-top outfits, Carmine is giving Canada’s alternative rock scene a glam-pop makeover. Dark, moody atmospheres collide with energetic pop hooks, while sultry, intimately vulnerable vocals give way to brash feminine rage and smeared red lipstick.
New kids on the block since their debut in 2024, Carmine has been gaining attention from listeners and industry personnel alike. Early demos caught the attention of producer Mike Noble (Hotel Mira), who has been a mentor throughout the creation of the band's upcoming EP. Their latest single, “I Don’t Wanna Be Friends,” earned them Band of the Month (May 2025) on the Zone radio in Victoria, Music BC’s spotlight of the week, and an ever-growing social media following. On Tiktok, the band progressed from 74 followers to over 1000 in just two weeks, and has been growing steadily ever since, with an overwhelmingly positive fanbase.
Carmine also partners with BC non-profit organization “The Jellyfish Project,” performing their music and advocating for climate action in schools across Vancouver Island.
