Arcade Fire

Arcade Fire is a Canadian indie-rock band based in Montreal, Quebec. The band currently includes seven members, but like many indie acts, members come and go quite often. Husband and wife Win Butler and Régine Chassagne were founding members and now share frontman duties.


The band has released two albums, Funeral (2006) and Neon Bible (2007), which have won several Canadian and international awards. Besides "normal" instruments like guitar, bass guitar, and drums, Arcade Fire members play piano, violin, viola, cello, double bass, xylophone, glockenspiel, keyboard, French horn, accordion, harp, mandolin, and hurdy-gurdy. That's a lot of instruments! Maybe that's why the band has such an interesting, unique sound.

Below you will find a couple of Arcade Fire's songs. The first, 'Wake Up', has been adopted as entrance music by the English Premier League team Burnley FC. The second, 'No Cars Go', is my personal favourite Arcade Fire song!
