ThxSoMch

Canadian artist ThxSoMch fuses post-punk, rap, and indie rock into a sound that feels simultaneously stark and propulsive. Early tracks such as “Imperfect Girl” and “Keep It Tucked” established his following before “Spit on My Face!” went viral and entered the Billboard Hot 100 in the first months of 2023. The EP Sleez arrived soon afterward, trailed by further singles including “LOST!”

Beyond confirming his roots in Toronto, ThxSoMch shared little else when he began posting original material on social platforms in early 2022. Those initial uploads featured the atmospheric cuts “Only Need My Baby! (SMOAGT)” and “How You Always Look So Good?” With “Imperfect Girl,” a collaboration with thekid.ACE, he shifted away from rap-centric writing toward dark-hued, guitar-driven arrangements that aligned more closely with post-punk. Although the year brought growing audiences, the abrasive “Spit on My Face!”—his last release of 2022—propelled him into wider visibility; beyond amassing millions of streams, the track landed on the Hot 100 and served as the centerpiece for Sleez. After the EP he issued the singles “Waste My Mind,” “Spiral,” and “LOST!”
