Experience the Toronto-Based Soundwave That’s Calling for Change—and Loudly
Toronto’s own FXRRVST (pronounced ‘forest’) is redefining the contours of Alt Rock Pop and Alternative Rock with their resonant and dynamic sound. As an indie/emo/alternative band, this Canadian group is captivating audiences – not only on the queer community – with their ability to blend gritty guitars, melodic rhythms, and significant messages into their music.
As a music curator team for PopHits.Co, we were particularly moved by their latest single, “Hate Has No Home Here.” Despite being penned over a year ago, the song has gained renewed relevance in today’s socio-political climate. The anthemic track takes a powerful stance against hate and discrimination, urging listeners to unite and raise their voices.
“FXRRVST demonstrates a masterful blend of melody and message, making their music not just a treat for the ears but a call to action,” says the PopHits.Co music curation team.

The band’s effort to diverge from their usual themes of mental health to address urgent societal issues showcases their versatility and depth. They are not afraid to make a bold statement, and it’s this bravery that sets them apart. Influences from Tiny Moving Parts and Foxing are evident, yet FXRRVST brings a distinct sound that’s all their own. The song’s melodic foundation, driven by a gritty guitar, contrasts beautifully with Holly’s soft vocals, creating a compelling auditory experience.
FXRRVST’s music is like a slow-building protest; it starts with an honest, gentle rhythm before erupting into a crescendo of powerful emotions and sounds. As “Hate Has No Home Here” progresses, layers of instrumentation add depth to the message, much like individuals gradually joining a demonstration until the movement fills the streets. The drumming and bass lines amplify the urgency in the track, making it an anthem of unity and resistance that resonates deeply.
Having played alongside bands like Hotel Mira, their reputation speaks for itself. Nominated for the Toronto Independent Music Award, FXRRVST has firmly positioned themselves within the Alternative Rock scene. The track, “Hate Has No Home Here,” is a testament to their ability to create music that’s both captivating and profoundly meaningful. In today’s world, where human rights and political tensions are more pronounced than ever, this song encapsulates a stance we should all take.
