Manifested in the spring of 2013, Hag Face are 2 Aquarians and 2 Virgos. Within the months following the release of their first self-titled cassette in August 2013, Hag Face were prompted to open for acts such as the proto-punk band DEATH (Detroit), Bleached (CA), Perfect Pussy (NY) and The Pack A.D.

Manifested in the spring of 2013, Hag Face are 2 Aquarians and 2 Virgos.

The fall of 2014 marked Hag Face's 8-week tour aptly named "East Infection" which included shows across Canada, including some US dates at DIY venues to festival stages like POP Montreal and Halifax Pop Explosion. Frequently described as “loud” and “face-melting”, the girls are also known to occasionally moonlight as Renny Wilson’s Punk Explosion band in cities across Canada. A cassette split with Vancouver's Shearing Pinx (October 2014) marked Hag Face's third release.
“…It made the sheer sonic assault that inaugurated their performance all the more disruptive.
