With Good Buddy, their debut album due on October 7, 2025, FONTINE takes a significant turn from their folk-tinged EP. Recorded live to tape with their seasoned band, the album captures the raw energy of their concerts, driven by gritty instrumentation, emotionally dense songwriting, and the power of their voice. It’s a rock album—sensitive and cathartic, brimming with passion and sincerity. The title track reappropriates CB radio language, transforming it into a joyous and unifying metaphor for queer love. More broadly, the album explores identity, connection, and vulnerability with humor, frankness, and a deep grounding in the artist's Indigenous and queer roots. Blending alt-rock, Americana, and indie folk, FONTINE boldly blurs sonic boundaries. With over a million streams, strong support from CBC national radio, and a growing stage presence across Canada, FONTINE is emerging as one of the most essential rising voices in contemporary roots music. Good Buddy confirms their natural charisma, uncompromising songwriting, and a rare ability to unite through music. Blue vinyl edition.
