Friends since childhood and band members since 2002, aRTIST oF tHE yEAR includes Montreal-based musicians Camille, Nathael, David, and Louis. Their catchy choruses, dance-friendly beats, and infectious enthusiasm during live performances make them strong proponents for a disco revival - but updated with an electronic edge and a goofy demeanor. Describing their album vELOUR bRIGADE as "electro-glitch" and "trash disco," the foursome says-with tongues firmly in cheeks-that they're "going to revolutionize music." Up Yours came out in 2012.
