Ribbon Skirt is a Canadian indie rock duo from Montreal, Quebec, consisting of vocalist and guitarist Tashiina Buswa (Anishinaabe)[1] and multi-instrumentalist Billy Riley.[2] They are most noted for their album Bite Down, which was shortlisted for the 2025 Polaris Music Prize.[3]
Initially known as Love Language, the duo released two EPs under that name before adopting the name Ribbon Skirt in reference to Buswa's Anishinaabe heritage.[4] Bite Down, their full-length debut, was released in April 2025 on Mint Records to critical acclaim.[5] Their follow-up EP, PENSACOLA, is set for release on October 3, 2025, also via Mint Records, and is described by the band as an epilogue to Bite Down.
