“36? remain one of the most interesting, most consistently surprising, inventive, challenging, entertaining, brave and artistic rock acts in this city, country or continent. On a summit all their own.” - The YYScene

Hi. I’m Taylor, I write songs, make videos, make weird collage art, design guitar pedals and have a generally swell time in this here band called 36?.

“So what is 36?” I hear you screaming from the depths. Well, these days I am having a hard time defining that myself. It started as just me writing/recording songs on an old desktop computer in my parents basement. Just some anorexic white kid on way too much ADHD medication screaming out his most troubled thoughts into the void. Since those days some incredibly talented folks have joined me in the band. We’ve played all around the world, we’ve recorded a few records, we’ve won awards, we’ve gotten stranded in Montana, we’ve signed to record labels, we’ve played big festivals with some of my favorite bands, we’ve been played on the radio, we’ve done all the band things that my old basement-dwelling self could have dreamed of, and if you listen real closely you can hear one of our songs far far off in the background of the opening scene in season 7 episode 6 of Brooklyn 99.

Did that answer your question? Not really? Well 36? Is a psychedelic art-rock band from Calgary, AB. We also make guitar pedals. Occasionally we will make weird videos about either nothing or something or music. As of today, we also make a website. That’s right! You are currently reading a website telling you it’s a website. You know that feeling you are getting as you read this website’s proclamation of its own existence. THAT FEELING  is 36?.

“Where Do We Go From Here? is an aural experience that is as mind-boggling as it is breathtakingly masterful. And it’s one of the best alt rock records you will hear all year from this or any other city — a modest masterpiece that should have a long, illustrious life."
Mike BellThe Calgary Herald
Taylor Cochrane, frontman of 36?, has been reaching for the sun for quite some time. His sound—an eclectic mix of bright fuzz-pop and sunny alt-rock anthems— offer listeners a frantic bout of indie-rock psychedelia reminiscent of artists like Mikal Cronin and the late Jay Reatard.

“Their latest release this year, Milk Mountain, was their debut on Vancouver’s File Under: Music label, and they’ve spent the better part of the past nine months on the road, hustling the album up and down the west coast on an endless tour that’s connecting them to communities of like-minded weirdos from Calgary to San Diego. At the helm, Taylor Cochrane wrote some of his most vulnerable and introspective songs to date, elevating his own practice into anthemic jams for anyone who feels like they don’t fit in.”

“I almost dismissed 36? on name alone but their description as “Calgary’s new favourite band” in the MoSo schedule led me into Amigos to witness one of the best sets of the festival. 36? bounced about the stage and dove into the youthful crowd who were eating up all of their antics. Possibly Saskatoon’s new favourite band as well?”

“The Palomino showroom witnessed Har Mar Superstar and his zero fucks to give Saturday night. The result was sweaty and glorious. Opening act 36? combined a relentless gauntlet of sound with the swaggeringly confident front-manning of Taylor Cochrane to create an extremely well crafted live show that combines the psychedelic buzz of Flaming Lips with the joyful delivery of Polyphonic Spree while doing something indelibly their own. Their charm is infectious and genuine and their talent is undeniable.”
