Underwire is a female-fronted 3-piece based in Toronto, Canada. Formed in the summer of 2000 by lead vocalist/songwriter/guitarist Esma, Underwire is molotov cocktail of crunchy, punk rock riffage, melodic hooks and a healthy dose of the old school attitude and way of life. With songs whose melodies just barely conceal whirlpools of raw emotion and seething energy, Underwire packs a punch like no other female artist in Toronto.
