Montreal On Fire was born in 2006 in the laboratory hallways of a research center of the University of Quebec in Montreal (Canada). Two young scientists met at night to create a music filled with diverse sounds.
Completed with two new members by the end of 2007, the band composed and recorded their first album “Decline and Fall” in the house which they occupied in the country-side of Toulouse. The Musicians go forth into the punk/hardcore scene, but by playing together, they create a more fragile and melancholy music. Their first opus, somewhere in between noise- pop and shoegaze was released in March 2009 on Lacrymal Records.
The band leaves for the roads of Europe to promote their album, from the Germans squat venues to the prestigious stage of The Bikini in April 2010, sharing the bill with bands such as Silver Mount Zion, Mono, Pocahaunted, Daturah or Sun Araw.
In the meantime, two EPs see the light of day, unveiling the first Quebecois demos and a compilation of an Electro Remix of “Decline and Fall”, reflecting the eclectic personalities of the four members.
Today, the band just has come out of the studio with a second album, composed of ten titles, exploring a writing process more pop while still conserving their dream-like personality…more informations soon, stay tuned!
