About the Artist

ACTORS is a Canadian post-punk band known for their atmospheric and moody soundscapes that blend darkwave and synth-driven melodies. Their live performances are immersive experiences, often characterized by a brooding intensity and a cinematic quality that draws listeners into a world of shadowy introspection. The band’s song "Face Meets Glass" exemplifies their knack for combining haunting vocals with pulsating rhythms, creating a hypnotic effect that resonates deeply with fans. A defining moment in their rise was their early days in Vancouver, where they honed their craft in intimate venues, building a dedicated following through raw, emotionally charged shows. Fans often recount the band's ability to transform personal vulnerability into a collective catharsis, making each concert feel like a shared secret. Their style is both nostalgic and forward-thinking, weaving influences from 80s post-punk with modern electronic elements, all while maintaining a distinctively cool, detached aura that is uniquely theirs. And yes, while their music might make you want to brood in a dimly lit room, their off-stage personalities reveal a surprisingly sharp wit and a penchant for subtle humor, proving that darkness doesn’t always have to be so serious.
