Backwater Township’s "No Moshing At The Jazz Hang" is a blistering, two-and-a-half-minute jazz burner that brilliantly channels the raw, unrelenting energy of a hardcore punk show into an Indigenous-led jazz format. Clocking in at a breathless 2'49", the track is fast, aggressive, and unapologetically loud, yet it never loses the joyful, groove-centric foundation that Mi’gmaq bassist and composer Corey Thomas has cultivated since the band's inception in 2017. It is a thrilling, straight-to-the-point sonic explosion that proves jazz can be just as visceral and mosh-pit-ready as heavy music, showcasing the ensemble's remarkable musical prowess and setting a fierce, unforgettable tone as they gear up for their highly anticipated 2026 album release and East Coast tour.
