By Divine Right
Scrappy, melodic Canadian indie rock that balances jagged guitar hooks with a loose, psychedelic heart. Perfect for road trips and basement nostalgia.

By Divine Right sounds like the quintessential Canadian indie rock experience: a little bit messy, deeply melodic, and full of restless energy. Their music feels like a well-worn denim jacket, comfortable but with enough rough edges to keep things interesting. You can hear the influence of 90s alternative rock filtered through a uniquely Toronto lens, where power-pop hooks meet garage-rock grit.
What truly sets them apart is the rotating collective energy led by José Miguel Contreras. The music often features jagged, interlocking guitar parts and a vocal delivery that is both earnest and slightly detached. It is the sound of a band that isn't afraid to let the seams show, embracing a lo-fi warmth that makes every track feel personal and immediate.
Start with 'Good Morning Beautiful' to hear them at their most cohesive and catchy. It captures the turn-of-the-century indie spirit perfectly, serving as a bridge between the raw energy of their early years and the more experimental, psychedelic textures they would explore later in their career.
By Divine Right is a Canadian indie rock band led by guitarist and vocalist José Miguel Contreras.
