Formed in 2010, Baptists are a Canadian band with a penchant for crusty, sludge-covered hardcore. Based out of Vancouver, British Columbia, the quartet made its debut on Southern Lord in 2011 with a 7" single before heading out on the road to bring the punishing sound to the masses. A full-length, Bushcraft, followed in 2013, while a sophomore full-length, Bloodmines, followed shortly afterwards in 2014. ~ Gregory Heaney
