The Dears

Canada's The Dears formed back in 1995, and five years on they released their first, ultra lo-fi album End Of A Hollywood Bedtime Story. The orchestral, dark pop sound and dramatic live shows made them soon spearhead the then-emerging Canadian indie-rock renaissance. Over the course of 27 years seven more albums and many international shows were to follow – The Dears have always been there, and they'll stick around for long due to their seemingly neverending lust to play.
