Wolf Parade is an indie rock band from Victoria, British Columbia, now based in Montreal, Quebec. Wolf Parade was formed when Spencer Krug was offered a gig supporting Arcade Fire. He called Dan Boeckner and they wrote songs with a drum machine before calling Arlen Thompson to play drums.
Wolf Parade released their debut EP in 2003 with only Spencer, Dan and Arlen performing on it. After Hadji joining, they released another independent, self-titled EP in 2004. They were signed to Sub Pop by Isaac Brock of Modest Mouse and released their first widely-distributed record, the EP Wolf Parade. In September 2005 their debut album Apologies to the Queen Mary was released. It was one of that autumn's more anticipated releases, recorded as it was with Brock's help and released amid a critical flurry for Canadian bands like Broken Social Scene, the Most Serene Republic, and Stars. The band plans on recording their sophomore album in the summer of 2006. |
