cleopatrick

Embracing the raw power and enduring legacy of rock, Cleopatrick are a Canadian duo who combine gritty riffs and fiery beats with hook-filled choruses. Employing a muscular and groove-laden amalgam of classic hard rock and churning alternative rock that evokes Arctic Monkeys by way of Highly Suspect, the group was formed in Cobourg, Ontario, by lifelong best friends Luke Gruntz (guitar/vox) and Ian Fraser (drums). Cleopatrick issued a debut EP, 14, in 2016, followed by a second EP, Boys, in 2018. The following year saw the rock revivalists return with the rollicking single "Sanjake," and in 2021 they released their first full-length effort, Bummer. ~ James Christopher Monger
