Poledo was a Canadian alternative rock band formed in 1994 in Thornhill.[1] Consisting of vocalist and bassist Joshua Malinsky, vocalist and guitarist Mitch Roth[2] and drummer Dave Capogna,[1] the band formed in 1994 and released two independent cassettes, Buzz Muffin and Let Up, before signing to Sonic Unyon.[1] They released the full-length album There, You on Sonic Unyon in 1995,[3] and shared a split 7" single, Lunar Landing Confirmed, with Hayden on Toronto's Squirtgun Records in 1996.[1] Both releases charted on Canada's campus radio charts in 1996.
The band broke up in December 1997; after performing one final show in early 1998, Malinsky and Roth both joined Hayden's touring band.[4][5] Rare unreleased tracks later appeared on two compilation albums, Sonic Unyon's Now We Are 5 and Squirtgun Records' More of Our Stupid Noise, and a cassette of recordings from their never-completed second album was released at their final show under the title The Poledo Demos.[1]
Malinsky subsequently went solo under the name Kid Lunch, releasing an eponymous CD on Teenage USA in 1999.[4][6]
