From building their own lane in Calgary to earning recognition across Canada, Sargeant X Comrade have spent more than a decade proving that some of the most compelling music happens when artists stop chasing trends and start trusting their vision.

This week on the Overheard Podcast, we sit down with the Calgary-based Lo-Fi Soul duo to talk about staying independent, launching their own label, creating music without compromise, and building a sound that didn’t fit neatly into any existing box. We also explore how they’ve cultivated a community around their music, one where listeners can feel seen, heard, and connected.

The conversation also touches on their latest project, Flytrap, and their powerful new album Weapons of Mass Creation, a deeply personal release dedicated to their friend and longtime collaborator Marvin. Through grief, creativity, and resilience, the project stands as both a tribute and a celebration of the impact he had on their journey.

Whether you’re a musician, entrepreneur, creative, or simply someone trying to carve your own path, there’s plenty to take away from this one.

After the episode, be sure to check out Flytrap and Weapons of Mass Creation wherever you listen to music.

Big thanks to Sargeant X Comrade for joining us.
