Wolf Parade is an indie rock band from Victoria, British Columbia, now based in Montreal,QC. Wolf Parade was formed when Spencer Krug (also Sunset Rubdown, Frog Eyes and Swan Lake) was offered a gig supporting Arcade Fire. He called Dan Boeckner (formerly of notable B.C. band Atlas Strategic, now also part of Handsome Furs) and they wrote songs with a drum machine before calling Arlen Thompson to play drums. Hadji Bakara joined in 2004. Dante DeCaro (formerly of Hot Hot Heat and currently of Johnny and the Moon) joined in Summer 2005 as second guitarist and percussionist.
Wolf Parade released their eponymous debut EP in 2003 with only Spencer, Dan and Arlen performing on it. After Hadji joined the group, 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, Wolf Parade EP. In September 2005 their debut album Apologies to the Queen Mary was released.
Apologies to the Queen Mary was given this name because, as in rock and roll tradition, Wolf Parade trashed the Queen Mary hotel. It was said that they trashed the hotel worse than any band before them.
Their second album, At Mount Zoomer, was released June 17, 2008.

they've said in a couple of interviews that they'll be getting together later this year to work on a new album. neither dan nor spencer really seem to waste time making albums, so a 2010 release looks pretty likely.

Ahhh, mmmmmh, yessss, its one of the best bands in the last few years. Queen Mary is one of the best albums i own, but to get all the best songs u gotta have Mt. Zoomer as well. I always listen to both albums on my ipod in shuffle mode and it works perfect!

I was really disappointed in Mt Zoomer at first. At least compared to Queen Mary. But I find myself listening to it more and more lately. I think Queen Mary's songs are more immediate and that Zoomer is what is known as "a grower", in that it needs to grow on you before you realize how good it is.
