History
The band formed in 1995 and released their first album, End of a Hollywood Bedtime Story in 2000. Their orchestral, dark pop sound and dramatic live shows cemented The Dears at the foundation of the then-emerging Canadian indie renaissance . In 2001 and 2002, they released the EPs Orchestral Pop Noir Romantique and Protest, respectively, as well as a collection of unreleased songs, Nor the Dahlias. In 2003 they released their second full-length album No Cities Left in Canada, and a string of highly anticipated shows at SXSW ‘04 launched their international career.
The Dears toured extensively across Canada, USA, UK, Europe, Japan and Australia supporting the international release of No Cities Left and returned to the studio to record in 2005. Gang of Losers was released in 2006, and was well-received by the press .
The lineup of the band is fluid and changes frequently. The band’s core member is founder and lead singer Murray Lightburn. The group has recently seen some departures, with a new lineup to be announced . Two new touring members, Lisa Smith and Laura Wills of the band Pony Up, were announced in September 2008.
The Dears have had high-profile gigs as opening act for Sloan, The Tragically Hip, Keane, The Secret Machines, and Morrissey, to whom Lightburn is often compared. Their music has been described as a cross between The Smiths, Serge Gainsbourg and Joy Division with Lightburn’s singing voice being likened to Morrissey as well as Blur’s Damon Albarn. The complexity of the music and arrangements has also been compared to Radiohead, Jethro Tull and early Genesis. The Dears’ powerful live shows have been described as: “…the sonic equivalent of seeing the face of God .”

People have compared his voice to Morrissey and the dude from Blur, and I believe wholeheartedly that it is purely coincidental. This band is doing their own thing and they are honest and sincere as fuck.
