Cola

Cola stand at the vanguard of contemporary post-punk, emerging from Montreal, Quebec, and comprising former Ought members Tim Darcy and Ben Stidworthy, alongside drummer Evan Cartwright. Their sound is marked by angular instrumentation and measured intensity, offering a fresh perspective within the post-punk landscape. Since their formation, Cola have garnered critical and discerning attention for their intricate arrangements and incisive songwriting.

The band has demonstrated a consistent creative output, with a discography that includes the acclaimed albums "Deep in View" and "The Gloss," and singles such as "Bitter Melon" and "Blank Curtain." Looking ahead, Cola’s album "Cost of Living Adjustment" is set for release in May 2026, further fuelling anticipation among those attuned to the evolution of post-punk. On stage, Cola have established themselves within the live music circuit, notably performing in November 2025 at The Warehouse Project in Manchester as a support act for headliner NIA ARCHIVES.

Cola continue to build their reputation for unforgettable gigs, headlining concerts at respected UK venues such as The Crescent in York, Stereo in Glasgow, The Cluny in Newcastle upon Tyne, and The White Hotel in Salford throughout November 2026. To keep pace with new releases and secure tickets for upcoming shows, discerning fans are encouraged to follow Cola and monitor their latest tour dates.
