On this episode of False Starts we're joined by Jeff Cancade of Devours and The Golden Age of Wrestling. Devours is the dark synth-pop project of Vancouver-based DIY musician Jeff Cancade.

Across five acclaimed underground albums, including 2023's Polaris Prize-longlisted Homecoming Queen, Devours has written confessional and confrontational electronic music about masculinity, body image, gay politics, and inner-city queer existence. They have toured Canada and the US, received coverage from Vice, CBC, Exclaim, and the Globe and Mail, and have performed at festivals such as SXSW, Treefort Music Fest, Sled Island, JunoFest, Vancouver Jazz Fest, and more. 

Accompanied by David Prowse (Japandroids) on drums, Devours released their highly anticipated fifth album Sports Car Era in 2025, culminating in a flurry of buzz, festival slots across Western Canada, and sold out shows in Vancouver.
