"Addictively dancey, uplifting and melancholy sounds... Beautiful, dark music.""
–CVLT Nation
"Drawing from 4AD Records-era post-punk and New Wave... Urgent yet cinematic."
–The Joy of Violent Movement

From Vancouver, Canada, ACTORS electrify with a modern take on post-punk. On debut full-length It Will Come to You, anthemic songs evoke the urgency of early-'80s U2 (Boy, October, War) as well as the driving, synth-drenched scores that emanated from that era's movie screens. As scene authority Post-Punk.com put it, the band conjures "cinematic new-wave... that belongs on a Michael Mann soundtrack."
Songs like "L'appel du Vide," "Slaves," and the freshly-premiered "Face Meets Glass" are bangers that glisten via frontman Jason Corbett's production job: slamming beats propel warm layers of synth, guitar, and vocals. Corbett writes, produces, mixes, and masters all ACTORS music at his own Vancouver studio, Jacknife Sound.
Much more than a "retro" act, this is music that stands all on its own, full of life and unforgettable hooks. Perhaps best described as a "post-post-punk" band, ACTORS belongs in the discussion alongside bands of today like The Soft Moon and Cold Cave who are pushing music forward via a deep knowledge of the past.
ACTORS will be touring the US, Canada, and Europe, throughout 2018.
