From the frigid lakeshores of Kenora, Ontario by way of Kamloops, British Columbia, road scholar Duane Regretzky’s frenzied blend of furious punk rock sensibilities and thoughtful songwriting will be sure to leave lookers-on not only entertained, but stupefied.

Also known as the guitarist & singer / founding member of BC punk band Let’s Go, Duane launched into his solo career in late 2024. Since then he has toured across Western Canada, his avant garde delivery being well received at gigs featuring bands like The Corps, DOA and Trashed Ambulance. Duane Regretzky’s set flows effortlessly between his punk ethos, folk-lore and a whole lot of laughs...oh, and he once scored 50 goals in 39 games - pretty impressive!

High End Denin handled the Canadian distro for these Norweigan punk rockers album "QUALBUM."

Qualmbums the fourth full-length album from the pop punk veterans, and is just as simple as it is complicated. Just as happy as it is sad.

We handle Canadian distribution for Making Friends’ releases, including their debut full-length Fine Dying and their upcoming album Home Is Where The Heart Was (Summer 2026). Fine Dying marked the band’s breakout release, a fast, melodic skate punk record rooted in the UK DIY scene, released internationally through a network of independent labels and quickly gaining traction across the punk community.

Making Friends formed in Brighton, UK in 2020, bringing together members from previous DIY projects and quickly establishing a reputation for high-energy, no-frills melodic punk. Their sound draws from 90s Fat Wreck-style skate punk, combining speed, melody, and a distinctly UK edge. Since their formation, they’ve remained active in the international DIY circuit, building a following through relentless touring, collaborative releases, and multi-territory label partnerships.

High End Denim Records is proud to represent their Canadian distribution and to continue supporting their growing catalogue as they move into their next chapter with Home Is Where The Heart Was.

High End Denim Records handles North American distribution for Ratsalad’s catalogue, including both of their full-length albums, Bent Trees & Swanny Deez and their brand new release Pest From The West (2026).

Ratsalad are a high-energy pub punk band from Geraldton, Western Australia, known for chaotic, sweat-soaked live shows and a rapidly growing international following. Formed in 2019, they’ve built their reputation through a relentless DIY ethic, constant gigging, and a steady run of releases that have pushed them well beyond their regional roots.

Their debut album Bent Trees & Swanny Deez introduced their fast, melodic, and unfiltered take on skate punk, blending classic 90s influence with a distinctly Australian sense of humour, grit, and storytelling. Their new album Pest From The West pushes that sound further, delivering sharper hooks, tighter songwriting, and the same high-speed intensity that has made them a standout in the modern DIY punk scene.

With growing momentum across Australia, North America, and Europe, Ratsalad continue to expand their reach through touring and international label partnerships. High End Denim Records is proud to support their North American distribution as their audience continues to grow.
