From the back alleys and basement bars of Toronto, The Uncools emerged—four shadows with instruments, stitched together by distortion, moonlight, and shared chaos. Their sound is indie alt/rock with a bite: jagged around the edges, soaked in reverb, and pulsing with a kind of beautiful unrest.

Their debut single, “Fun Guy,” is a strange trip—equal parts anthem and fever dream. With snarling guitars, off-kilter hooks, and lyrics that toe the line between surreal and sharp, it’s a song about decay, rebirth, and maybe mushrooms. Probably mushrooms.

The band refuses to say what “Fun Guy” really means.
“You’ll either get it,” says their bassist, “or it’ll get you.”
