Joan Smith & the Jane Does are a Canadian fuzz-filled, femme-rock dance machine with cutting vocals that amp up to the edge of sanity, pulsing rock beats and relentless guitars which remind noted radio personality and music historian Jeff Woods of ‘Queens of the Stone Age with Stevie Nicks vocals’. The Jane Does are leaving an indelible mark on Canada’s rock scene. They’ve quickly earned a place in the alt rock landscape. Their debut full length album, “Do Me Some Harm”, was mixed by Alain Johannes (Queens of the Stone Age, Them Crooked Vultures). The Jane Does have been known to cover a QOTSA album or two on special occasions at Toronto’s Legendary Horseshoe Tavern and have packed the house with their sweaty, impassioned musicianship.
“Do Me Some Harm” has received national radio play and international playlisting, and their cover of the Pointer Sisters’ ‘Neutron Dance’ was recently released on Canadian punk label Cartridge Heart’s ‘Go Kick-Ass:2’ compilation. Joan Smith & the Jane Does continue to carve their own path in the global rock scene as they have been touring extensively in the U.S. and are embarking on their first U.K. tour in September 2025, including a support slot at Sonic Boom Festival alongside The Bug Club and Seb Lowe.
