• cootie catcher is a Toronto-based indie-pop band known for its energetic mix of twee pop, fingerstyle guitar, glitchy beats, and communal vocals, exploring themes of youth, connection, and vulnerability with infectious joy and depth. Formed by Anita Fowl (bass/vocals) and Nolan Jakupovski (guitar/vocals) during COVID, they expanded with Sophia Chavez (synth/vocals) and Joseph Shemoun (drums) to create a unique sound, balancing childlike wonder with mature lyrical content. "Straight Drop" is the new single from their upcoming album Something We All Got, out Feb. 27, 2026.
