Sled Island Festival Series: Sunglaciers Interview Evan Resnik

Send us Fan MailSun Glaciers’ Evan Resnik on Sled Island, Calgary’s Music Scene & New Album “Spiritual Content” | The Sonic CollectiveThe Sonic Collective hosts Darren Scott in a Sled Island interview with Evan Resnik of Calgary band Sun Glaciers, discussing the group’s origins from early basement jams to evolving into a steady lineup, their early acceptance into Sled Island in 2016, and Resnik’s influences from grunge and classic rock to post-punk and eclectic artists. Resnik reflects on discovering Calgary’s scene through Chad VanGaalen while living in France, describes Calgary as a diverse “melting pot” of genres, and explains what makes Sled Island unique, including its curation, guest curators, and energized crowds. They cover Sun Glaciers’ fourth album, “Spiritual Content” (released late March), its more stripped-down live-ready approach, the “Only Love” video shot at a house on Mission Road, upcoming festival dates like Dandy Fest, and local venue shout-outs including Palomino, The Legion, Dickens, and Ship & Anchor.https://www.instagram.com/sunglaciers/https://www.sunglaciers.com/00:00 Show Intro01:06 Sled Island Series01:31 Meet Evan Resnick02:47 Band Origin Story04:51 Calgary Roots05:18 Early Influences06:20 Finding The Scene07:28 Calgary Sound Today08:41 Discovering Sled Island09:27 Festival Connections10:51 Playing Sled Crowds11:45 What Makes Sled Unique12:41 New Album Spiritual Content13:48 Only Love Video14:53 Upcoming Shows15:17 Venues That Support Music16:30 Diversity And Inclusion17:01 Must See Sled Acts18:18 Final Plug And Thanks19:20 Host Wrap Up20:58 Subscribe And Credits21:27 Signing OffPhoto Credit: Sebastian BuzzalinoThe theme music for The Sonic Collective is Dust by Les Gigantiques from Calgary.
