New EP “Skids” Out Now!
Canadian mock‑rock legends Sons of Butcher are back with another slab of greasy, over‑the‑top rock mayhem, this time with the release of their brand‑new music video “Peppercorn Steak,” perfectly timed to marinate ahead of National Steak Day on April 25th.
The single marks the first post‑release video from the band’s new EP “Skids,” which officially arrived March 27th, 2026 and has already delivered two fan‑favourite videos: the denim‑soaked anthem “Denim Dreamin’” and the bacon‑blasted metal romp “Makin’ Bacon.”
“Peppercorn Steak” brings the band full circle, back to their roots in the animated Teletoon series that first launched Sons of Butcher into Canadian cult status. Originally featured in a never‑aired, independently created pilot for a potential third season, the track has now been fully re‑cut, re‑seasoned, and served sizzling with soaring vocals, chunky riffs, and the kind of lyrical repetition only Sons of Butcher could make iconic.
“This EP marks the first time we’ve written songs not directly tied to the cartoon storyline, except for ‘Peppercorn Steak’. Instead, this EP is an honest batch of comedy songs from the grease‑clogged hearts of a band of has‑been butchers,” says frontman Ricky Butcher. “
The new video is a celebration of everything Sons of Butcher stands for: meat‑obsessed comedy, 80s‑riff swagger, and the kind of theatrical absurdity that made the band a cult favourite. Designed to pair perfectly with National Steak Day, the video gives fans the ultimate soundtrack for grilling, chilling, and embracing their inner carnivore.

“Skids” is a four‑track blast of unapologetic skid‑life: cheap meat, grunge‑stained fashion, and the unwashed spirit of rock forged in a butcher shop. It’s raw, loud, and unexpectedly radio‑ready, marking a rare moment where Ricky Butcher reins in his famously NSFW impulses without losing the band’s signature filth‑core charm.
The EP reunites Sons of Butcher with longtime producer Jordon Zadorozny (Meatlantis, Rise & Fall of the Steaks) at Skylark Park in Pembroke. It also features drumming from Ricky’s all‑time favourite drummer, Kellii Scott of Failure, bringing a full‑circle moment to the band’s history.
