Heavy Without the Metal
The Bunn is a DIY label and creative studio operating in the outer reaches of post-metal. The label is obsessed with bandless, instrumental, heavy music that dodges traditional metal approaches. Kinda like the collision point where post-war Swiss design met '90s Raygun grunge chaos.
Informed by the golden age of Toronto’s 2000s–2010s post scene, The Bunn inherits a rich DIY history. Its background spans playing in bands like Arkata, The Smile, Akroid, and Horselover, as well as organizing and promoting at iconic underground spots like Soybomb, Siesta Nouveaux, and High Art for the Lowdown. The label draws on the same inspiration that drove the hands-on ethos of previous label projects Gorgeous Industries and Fashion Machine, both known for their slick, hand-crafted, limited-run physical releases.
The Bunn exists to connect with the global bandless, instrumental, DIY underground, through collaboration, design, and custom, handcrafted, physical media.
