There have been a number of Wolf bands that have crept into the mainstream press in recent months, but Montreal's Wolf Parade are the lobos of choice in the indie-kid set. The band's very first gig came about when they weren't even a band, after friends in the Arcade Fire asked Arlen Thompson to open for them. Thompson teamed up with Spencer Krug, and the two came up with a number of songs in a matter of days while holed up in a tiny apartment. They've since expanded to a four-piece (with Dan Boeckner and Hadjii Bakara), and secured a deal with Sub Pop after being introduced to the label by Modest Mouse's Isaac Brock. Wolf Parade's debut, Apologies to the Queen Mary, came out last year, netting itself a whopping 9.2 (out of 10) from the notoriously tough critics at Pitchfork.
