60 Minutes or less - Episode 61 - La Sécurité

Welcome to ’60 Minutes or less’ - a podcast from Birthday Cake For Breakfast - where for episode 61, I’m tickled pink to feature an interview with Éliane Viens and Félix Bélisle of Canadian art-punks, La Sécurité!

A head-spinning art-punk collective based out of Montreal, La Sécurité first caught my attention with the release of a couple of knock out singles in 2024. Wonky bops that take in everything from egg-punk to new-wave to post-punk, their energetic concoctions are best encountered at a sweaty live show.

Following up on their 2023 released debut album ‘Stay Safe!’, their new album ‘Bingo!’ arrives June 12th 2026 via Bella Union and Mothland. The reveal of this came out during our interview as we actually spoke with La Sécurité in October 2025, not long after the quintet had rocked my world at Manchester Psych Fest.

Recorded over Zoom, we spoke of the new record, as well as signing with Bella Union and hanging out with Simon Raymonde, being “Montreal late” - owing to Éliane’s late arrival - and having a song featured in TV sensation ‘Emily In Paris’.
