Dockside is a four-piece indie rock outfit with true Canadian roots. Prairie boys Andres Nimegeers and Tanner Vanin of Regina, Saskatchewan joined forces with west coast natives Ben Cripps and Matt Seale of Victoria, BC in 2023 to form a band built on friendship, creativity, and free expression. Honing their sound in backyards and markets around Victoria, Dockside blends elements of rock, alternative, pop, and hip hop into their music, putting emphasis on crafting songs that translate best on a live stage. Their debut EP Everything Left Unsaid dropped in May 2026 and features a compilation of tracks that evolved naturally over years of performances at Vancouver Island's most historic venues. The EP shows a unique blend of influences across artists like Dominic Fike, The Backseat Lovers, The Smashing Pumpkins, and Kings of Leon, bringing a fresh perspective to the vibrant indie scene of Canada's west coast.
