SS Cardiacs was a short-lived Canadian indie rock group active in the early 2000s, composed of Jessie Stein (vocals, guitar), Andy Lloyd (bass), and Dana Snell (drums).
History
Originating in Toronto in 2004, SS Cardiacs took part in Canada Music Week during March 2005. That same year, they issued their only album, Fear the Love, through Blocks. The record featured contributions from Stein's brother, José Miguel Contreras of By Divine Right. In June 2005, Fear the Love appeared on the !earshot campus and community radio charts.
Shortly after the album's release, Lloyd and Snell left due to internal disagreements. Stein proceeded to tour with a revised lineup that included Leon Taheny, Mike Small from The Meligrove Band, and keyboardist Owen Pallett. This ensemble recorded the song "Oh No!" which was featured on the Volume II 7" vinyl compilation released by Out Of Touch Records.
Following this period, Stein discontinued using the SS Cardiacs name and subsequently joined Miracle Fortress before establishing The Luyas.
