While every bar in Toronto, dive and otherwise, was subject to indie showcases featuring bands and their wandering onlookers for Canadian Music Week, the Kool Haus was graced only by openers We Are Wolves and CMW headliners Bloc Party. The lineup of wristbanded fans stretched far around the venue's perimetre down the lonely Queen's Quay, and...

We Are Wolves In Montreal

in
By Erik Leijon (CHARTattack) July 2, 2008 12:30 pm
June 29, 2008 We Are Wolves triumphant return home after a recent stay in Europe was both a testament to and a humble reminder of the always mysterious Jazz Fest bump. The prevailing theory is that by holding a concert under the umbrella of the Montreal International Jazz Festival name, one can book a larger venue and charge more for tickets....

We Are Wolves @ NXNE 2008

By Scott Bryson (CHARTattack) June 16, 2008 2:30 pm
Date: June 13, 2008 BACKGROUND/COMPOSITION: Nope, we still don't have enough wolf bands. Not enough synth-punk ones, at least. We Are Wolves recently won a Montreal International Music Initiative award for being the band with the greatest international potential. Does that mean they're already domestic has-beens? Grade:...

We Are Wolves — "Blue"

in
By CHARTattack Staff March 18, 2010 3:01 pm
We Are Wolves wander through some frozen Canadian landscape dressed in white, looking like astronauts (or the people who show up wearing white suits when cops bust grow houses) in the video for Invisible Violence's "Blue." It's not very blue at all (except for that part at the end), and what's with the random geometric shapes? This is...

We Are Wolves — "Holding Hands"

in
By CHARTattack Staff October 15, 2009 12:52 pm
We Are Wolves' clip for "Holding Hands" follows a boy and girl around as they make mischief on their bikes, cut up feather pillows and set off firecrackers. There's no hand holding, though, presumably because of cooties. "Holding Hands" appears on this year's Invisible Violence.

M For Montreal: Saturday

in
By Erik Leijon (CHARTattack) November 25, 2008 4:59 pm
MONTREAL — After a tour of the city specifically for out-of-town delegates, M For Montreal did what most older brothers would do: take their clueless siblings to rock club Foufounes Electriques. The idea was to feature an afternoon showcase there in conjunction with the venue's 25th anniversary. In truth, the club has more recently been known...

Caribou Fends Off New Pornographers

in
By Chris Burland (CHARTattack) September 28, 2007 4:00 pm
Caribou held off frequent campus radio chart rulers The New Pornographers from taking over the top spot on the Canadian campus/community chart for the week ending Sept. 14. Each of The New Pornographers' first three albums have spent significant time at #1, and the first two spent at least 20 weeks in the top 50, so it seems inevitable that they'...

We Are Wolves Get Serious

in
By Alyssa Noel (CHARTattack) August 24, 2007 4:00 pm
MONTREAL — A few things have changed since We Are Wolves made their 2005 debut record. The Montreal hype machine has dulled to a constant hum, indie music has reached its coming-of-age, and an ability to rattle off lupine-inspired band names no longer puts you in the upper echelons of indie knowledge. It's into this slightly altered scene...
