The Sentiments

About

Fueled by infectious energy and a horn section that could raise the dead, The Sentiments aren't just playing ska; they're resurrecting its spirit for a new generation. This Canadian collective, hailing from Windsor, Ontario, injects a raw, punk-rock edge into classic two-tone and third-wave ska, creating a sound that's simultaneously nostalgic and utterly contemporary. Formed in the early 2010s, The Sentiments cut their teeth in the local scene, relentlessly touring and honing their high-octane live show. Their early EPs and debut album, “Misplaced” (2015), established their signature blend of skanking rhythms, blistering guitar riffs, and poignant lyricism addressing themes of alienation and social commentary. Breakthrough moments included sharing stages with ska luminaries like The Planet Smashers and The English Beat, solidifying their credibility within the scene. More than just a throwback act, The Sentiments push the boundaries of ska, incorporating elements of rocksteady and dub into their sonic tapestry. Their relentless touring schedule across Canada and parts of the US has cemented their reputation as a formidable live act, leaving crowds sweaty and screaming for more. With a growing catalog and a dedicated fanbase, The Sentiments are poised to become ska revivalists who don't just mimic the past, but actively shape its future. Currently, they continue to perform live, spreading their brand of upbeat social consciousness.
