Future Girls are a 4 piece from Halifax, Nova Scotia who describe their sound as "bummer punk" and who's songs deal with themes of gender dysphoria, depression and geographical isolation. The line up features Matty Grace (vocals/guitar), Heather Grant (vocals/guitar), Dewayne Shanks (drums) and Coleman Johnston (bass/vocals). They cite as influences the likes of Superchunk, Measure (SA) and Tenement.
They formed in 2015 and recently released debut album Motivation Problems. 12 tracks, fuzzed up guitars, serious lyrics but wrapped up in catchy tunes. They'd have been darlings of the alt rock charts a couple of decades ago. Available via Dirt Cult Records (a label that is building up one hell of a catalogue of releases) you can get it on cassette here : https://dirtcultrecords.wordpress.com/ or digitally here : https://futuregirls.bandcamp.com/album/motivation-problems

There's a few songs I was thinking about sharing below, in the end I went for Middle America...
neighbours argue every night
about what is or isn't right
dead dial tones and bitter words
everybody gets what they deserve
a barren field of ashed out cigarettes
our best days still haven't found us yet
because we're crossed out and off the map
to say
and I remember
when everything felt different in the day-to-day
another december
black us out and wander through the same
today
i guess it bothers me today
