Joan Smith & the Jane Does are carving out a distinct place in Canada’s alt-rock scene with their raw, hard-hitting debut album Do Me Some Harm (2023), produced by Tom Juhas and mixed by Alain Johannes of Queens of the Stone Age fame. Fronted by Joan Smith—praised for her “towering pipes and remarkable dirty guitar tone”—the band delivers fierce riffs and sharp vocals that critics liken to “Queens of the Stone Age and Stevie Nicks.” Their single “Pull” appeared in the premiere of ABC’s Rebel, earning international syncs, while their cover of “Neutron Dance” landed on Cartridge Heart’s Go Kick-Ass:2. With national radio play, global playlisting, three U.S. tours, and a 2025 UK run including Sonic Boom Festival, the Jane Does continue to build strong international momentum.
