1876

1876 was formed in early 2020, out of a dream of cultural and language resurgence, being seen and produced by those who experience the hardships and triumphs of being born NDN. The band immediately debuted their powerful debut EP Pow Wow Punk Rock. With notable sounds that any pow wow goer will recognize, combined with the aggressive guitar playing, catchy melodies, and political lyrics of the punk world, 1876 expresses their unique perspective as “the city NDNs your aunty warned you about.” 1876 proudly represents both the Northern Cheyenne and the Blackfeet nations, singing in both languages. From sweat lodges to punk clubs, 1876 helps shed light on a narrative often neglected by the music industry.
