Cocaine Moustache from Vancouver, BC is the sexy, ballsy, debaucherously bluesy rock band you’ll want to book to play your bars, metal/ punk festivals and biker rallies.
With the wild edge their name implies, Cocaine Moustache is composed of singer, Jesse Burch (aka White Willie Sniffsum), guitarist Kris Schulz (aka Steddie ‘N Halen), bassist Vincent Borden (aka Vinnie Railtrail), and drummer Todd Mumford (aka Johnny Piledriver), all Vancouver musicians with deep roots in popular local projects Zuckuss, West of Hell, and Tyrants Blood.
Inspired by acts as diverse as ZZ Top, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Van Halen, The Allman Brothers, Buddy Guy, The Mars Volta and Pantera, this heavy, raw anti-establishment power quartet has played Armstrong MetalFest (Armstrong, BC), Metallion (Prince George, BC), Loud as Hell (Drumheller, AB) and Legends High Times Cup (Lake Cowichan, BC). In 2016, they toured Canada from Vancouver to Halifax, performing 24 intense shows over 29 days and proving they’re one of the most hard-working acts in the Canadian rock & roll scene.
Their music has been described as a fresh blend of Van Halen-meets-Danzig and Black Sabbath, with hints of Clutch, Five Finger Death Punch and Monster Truck.
Their new album – All Hail the Rail – will be released in September of 2018 with an accompanying video. Cocaine Moustache aims to book gigs across the US in a supporting tour that will introduce new audiences to their hard-core party music with tunes that get people out of their seats head banging, dancing and making more sweet booze-fuelled memories.
Here’s what critics say:
“What started out as a side project for said musicians, the Stache has morphed into a sexy, booze-fueled rock ‘n’ roll beast of a band that has taken on a life of its own” – Beat Route
“This is a group that completely embodies the rock star lifestyle of debauchery, loud, raw rock n roll, and tons of attitude and swagger” – Pure Grain Audio
“''It's loud and rude party music - one stoner soiree that's destined to attract the cops, who generally, do not party and demand that "fun" is a four-letter word. What can one expect from a band with a frontman named White Willie Sniffsum? It's also sort of screamy as if Jello Biafra were fronting a metal hair band from the '80s. This CD even includes a complimentary plastic straw just in case you do have too much money, but just think of their twist on that "Got Milk" commercial''

''On The Mirror buzzes with slippery riffage, funky shuffle, big-bottom rhythm and more than a few sordid tales told by frontman White Willie Sniffsum. Cocaine Moustache’s overall attitude, vigor and swagger is what stands out most. They sure know how to throw one hell of a good time''.

““On the Mirror” is a solid album. There will always be a place in rock and roll and metal for such an effort, and it serves as the most recent reminder that the roots of the genre are steeped in delta blues and dirty flophouse bars''
