Uniting folk, punk, and synth pop into fiery, fearless anthems for outsiders, Wares is the project of singer/songwriter/guitarist Cassia Hardy. A fixture of the punk scene in Edmonton, Alberta -- one of Canada's most conservative cities -- she honed her rebellious songwriting on singles such as 2013's "Sunshine" before broadening her style on 2017's Wares. With 2020's Survival, she reached a new level of heartfelt, and sometimes heartbreaking, honesty.
