Avec plaisir
Montreal, Canada
Avec Plaisir is an indie emo quartet hailing from Montreal, Canada, formed in 2019. Their distinctive sound is characterized by a compelling blend of mathy riffs, gruff vocals, and earworm melodies, incorporating elements of indie punk, math rock, and pop-punk.
The band's debut LP, "An Album," released in 2022, garnered positive critical attention. Reviewers from outlets such as Fecking Bahamas and Uproxx described the album as radiating "the joy of artists revisiting the music," noting its blend of math rock, punk, and post-rock, and highlighting their unique "mathy, melodic, and 'revival' emo" sound.
