Bearings with Rarity and Second Harbour

Bearings bring their melodic pop‑punk from Ottawa to The Dance Cave in Toronto on March 5, 2026. Since the mid‑2010s, the band has shaped a sound that sits between bright, clean guitars, modern emo contours and an alternative rock push, with lyrics that look at growing up, relationships and the rhythm of life on the road. Signed to Pure Noise Records, they’ve built their path across three key releases: Blue in the Dark (2018) introduced the framework with crisp riffs and direct hooks; Hello, It’s You (2020) folded in more indie rock colors; The Best Part About Being Human (2023) tightened the songwriting with faster tempos and layered vocal harmonies. On stage, that evolution translates into concise, fast‑paced songs built to connect, without frills.

Rarity and Second Harbour join the bill to open the night. The lineup leans into the same pop‑punk and emo‑tinged territory, setting the room before Bearings step in with their mix of drive and melody. A straightforward show anchored in songs that move quickly and stick, in a venue made for close‑range guitars and voices.
