Scum Dumpster Is Invading Our Homes

On March 7th, 2025, Red Deer band Scum Dumpster released the long-awaited EP Amputation of the Heart after spending two months in the studio. The EP features five face-melting songs, kicking off with “Red Deer Redemption” and finishing off with fan favourite “Tale of the Flesh King” (Vivid memories flood my mind of sword-fighting vocalist  Ember on stage). Finally, fans can enjoy these mind-blowing, dance-inducing tunes on Spotify. Joining OG members Ember and Ricky are the newly added Terry Savage (bass and also a member of The Astral Prophets) and Kaed Doerksen (guitar). Scum Dumpster vocalist Ember wrote the lyrics to all the songs on the EP and was accompanied by former member Joey Hunter in creating the music for “Tale of the Flesh King” and “Amputate.” Lead vocalist Ember says the best part of making the EP was seeing her creations come to life. Experiencing songs she would play acoustically to herself become full-fledged recordings brought to life was an incredible experience. These small-town punks deserve all the good things coming to them.
