SS Cardiacs was a Canadian indie rock band, briefly active in the early 2000s.[2] It consisted of Jessie Stein on vocals and guitar, Andy Lloyd on bass and Dana Snell on drums.[3]
SS Cardiacs formed in Toronto in 2004. They performed as part of Canada Music Week in March, 2005.[4] That year the band released its sole album, Fear the Love, on Blocks in 2005. Stein's brother, José Miguel Contreras of By Divine Right, also participated in the album's recording.[2] Fear the Love appeared on the !earshot campus and community radio chart in June.[5]
Shortly after the album's release, Lloyd and Snell left the band due to internal tensions,[6] and Stein instead toured to support the album with a lineup that included Leon Taheny, The Meligrove Band's Mike Small[7] and keyboardist Owen Pallett.[8][9] With a more robust sound, the group released one last track entitled "Oh No!" via the Volume II 7" vinyl compilation on Out Of Touch Records.[10]
Stein subsequently retired the SS Cardiacs name, and went on to join Miracle Fortress and to form a new band, The Luyas.
