Montreal-born, Sudbury-based artist HERDD steps into the spotlight with the release of his electrifying new single, a cover of Rough Trade’s groundbreaking hit ‘High School Confidential’. Known for his genre-bending pop/rock sound and fearless artistic vision, HERDD reimagines the iconic Canadian track with the same raw passion and queer energy that made it a trailblazer, while infusing it with his own modern edge. The single is now available on all streaming platforms.

“It was such a privilege to share a bill with Carole Pope, a Canadian music icon and a pioneer for queer representation, at Pride Toronto’s The Q Musicale,” HERDD reflects. “That moment meant so much to me, and coming back a year later to debut my cover of her most famous song was truly full circle.”
