Through the years, I’ve watched the Pop Montreal festival grow and diversify. What was once a music showcase has since become a massive city takeover gathering musicians, artists and creators in one huge celebration of independence. This year was no exception. I had the chance to go from venue to venue with a media pass around my neck, participating to as many events as possible. Among others, I saw BbyMutha, Doss, Locate S,1, Jaunt, Nate Husser and Tommy Kruise.
