The band formed in 1995 and released their first album, End of a Hollywood Bedtime
Story in 2000. Their orchestral, dark pop sound and dramatic live shows cemented
The Dears at the foundation of the then-emerging Canadian indie renaissance.
In 2001 and 2002, they released the EPs Orchestral Pop Noir Romantique and
Protest, respectively, as well as a collection of unreleased songs, Nor the Dahlias.
In 2003 they released their second full-length album No Cities Left in Canada,
and a string of highly anticipated shows at SXSW ‘04 launched their international career
The Dears toured extensively across Canada, USA, UK, Europe, Japan and Australia
supporting the international release of No Cities Left and returned to the studio to record
in 2005. Gang of Losers was released in 2006, and was well-received by the press.
The lineup of the band is fluid and changes frequently. The band’s core member is
founder and lead singer Murray Lightburn. The group has recently seen some departures,
with a new lineup to be announced. Two new touring members,
Lisa Smith and Laura Wills of the band Pony Up, were announced in September 2008.
The Dears have had high-profile gigs as opening act for Sloan,
The Tragically Hip, Keane, The Secret Machines, and Morrissey,
to whom Lightburn is often compared. Their music has been described
as a cross between The Smiths, Serge Gainsbourg and Joy Division with
Lightburn’s singing voice being likened to Morrissey as well as Blur’s Damon Albarn.

I agree with the last poster. Murray's voice does sound like Damon's and often like Morrissey's but I doubt that his vocal characteristics were deliberately manufactured. The Dears are a hugely under-rated band who probably won't get their big moment. That's a great pity.

Sorry but I am always reminded of Damon Albarn, especially the "Blur" album period. Its what switched me on to The Dears around the "No Cities Left" era when "We Can Have It" got heavy rotation on 6music. Still taking a while to warm to "Degeneration Street", some of it too strident and screechy for me, but persisting and its growing on me, as "Gang of Losers" did too.

I've just dug out 'No Cities Left' & listened to it today for the first time in ages. Shame on me, it's a great album,nicely constructed songs & great vocals. I agree with 'OmaRockR', The Dears sound like 'The Dears'. Must now seek out the other albums.

Oh yeah, and Find Our Way To Freedom = WOW. What a song, and I love the way these guys make use of the piano in their music.

Love the singer's voice. It reminds me of the singer from Elbow, which is never a bad thing. Good stuff, and very creative too with some of the instrumentation and orchestral elements to their music.

It's a good listen. "No Cities Left" is still my favorite but all their albums are listenable and fun.

Great gig last night. I think they managed to convert some people that didn't know of them and just happened to be there.
