Poledo was a Canadian alternative rock band based in Thornhill, Ontario, consisting of vocalist and bassist Joshua Malinsky, vocalist and guitarist Mitch Roth[1] and drummer Dave Capogna,[2] Their music is characterized by loud, heavily distorted guitar riffs and screamed lyrics.[3]

History

Poledo was formed in 1994 in Thornhill.[2] the band released two independent cassettes, Buzz Muffin and Let Up, before signing to Sonic Unyon.[2]

They released the full-length album There, You on Sonic Unyon in 1995,[4] and shared a split 7" single, Lunar Landing Confirmed, with Hayden on Toronto's Squirtgun Records in 1996.[2][5] Both releases charted on Canada's campus radio charts in 1996. The band performed as far west as Vancouver that year.[6]

The band broke up in December 1997; after performing one final show in early 1998, Malinsky and Roth both joined Hayden's touring band.[7][8] Rare unreleased tracks later appeared on two compilation albums, Sonic Unyon's Now We Are 5 and Squirtgun Records' More of Our Stupid Noise, and a cassette of recordings from their never-completed second album was released at their final show under the title The Poledo Demos.[2]

Malinsky subsequently went solo under the name Kid Lunch, releasing an eponymous CD on Teenage USA in 1999.[7][9]
