We Are Wolves

Total Magique

A gang of three, four including rock. We Are Wolves imposes a music that’s both free and honest, like the celestial lightning on the mystic mountain. It’s a post-punk landscape filled with analogue trees. It’s like rock after the post-modern explosion.

Their primitive sound matches perfectly with the band’s name. It’s animal. Rock and electro music fans from The Cramps to Add N to X, it’s at the junction of those two movements that We Are Wolves made their den. In 2005 they released the album "Non Stop Je te Plie en Deux" on the American label Fat Possum. The press soon followed with articles in Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, Spin and shows in famous international festivals like Le Rock dans tous ses états, Les Eurokéennes, Dour Festival, SXSW, CMJ, Virgin Festival and Osheaga. We Are Wolves had their first North American tour in Spring 2005 opening for And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead and The (International) Noise Conspiracy. A second one came in 2006 supporting the Gossip plus some solo dates across Canada and the States. They also had a 5 weeks tour in Europe with Montreal act Duchess Says in Summer 2006.

We Are Wolves are now on a Montreal label and presented their second full-length album “Total Magique” on September 4th and in the U.S on October 2nd 2007. This critically acclaimed album received good press such as articles in the NY Times, CMJ Report and Spin Magazine. They also received awards like the M-Galaxie Rising Star (voted by 35 international delegates), a MIMI (artist with the most international potential), a Bucky Award for Best reason to learn French and 4 nominations for September 2008’s GAMIQ (Artist and show of the year). Their first video for “Fight and Kiss” directed by Jeremie Saindon was voted buzzclip at Musique Plus, got heavy rotation on the music channels, the video is part of International videos festivals and has been selected to have a residency at Montreal Contemporary Art Museum. After more than 50 concerts across Canada and the United States at the end of 2007-beginning of 2008, the trio went on tour twice in Europe to present their album. In summer 2008 they were part of Montreal’s International Jazz Fest festivities and Quebec City 400th Anniversary. 2008 will end with a second tour across Canada and the U.S and a third tour of Europe. 2009 can only be amazing!
