Wolf Parade is sweet! If I missed it in the external links please forgive me but what is the source for Wolf Parade being likened to Arcade Fire and Clap Your hands....? I'm only asking becasue I listen to the Arcade Fire and I like them, but I don't really think their sound is that similar to Wolf Parade. Wolf Parade is very synthy, uses more time signatures (3/4, 6/4) and the vocals aren't quite as harmonic as Arcade Fire. Many indie bands often get lumped together for non-musical reasons (location, label, time of first breakout success, non-musical aesthetic i.e. 'indie' approach to music) and this kinda irks me, but if you have a source for this, I guess that's what matters. Could you please cite it here in the talk page? Thanks--Hraefen 19:36, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

  • I didn't add the AF reference, but I think it's half-right. I don't know. I think 'dinner bells' sounds Arcade Fire-ish, and 'Laika' could be Wolf Parade. And they both have similar quirky-voiced vocalists, and the production style is pretty similar, in my opinion. The whole location/aesthetic part is totaly true, but compared to, like, Linkin Park or Audioslave or something they sound kinda the same.

I created a page for the Wolf Parade (E.P.) and i wasn't sure if this is the EXACT name of that album. If anyone knows differently, feel free to retitle and move that page. I would also like to suggest that any discussion of the two songs ('Shine a Light' and 'You Are a Runner And I Am My Father's Son') which are on both albums (and any difference/similarities between the two) should go on the later of the two, Apologies to the Queen Mary.--Hraefen 20:34, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

Could someone post a pic of them. I'd do it myslef but I'm not sure how to.


Dan Boeckner should have his own page, I don't think it's fair to just redirect him to Wolf Parade. He's involved in other projects. I made the Spencer Krug page, someone make a Dan one.

[edit] Clean-up

I removed the Clean-up tag because I performed major editing on this page to give it more cohesion. For example, there are now citations backing up the biography section and an "Associated Acts" section that removes clutter from the bio. Certain comments pertaining to individual albums have been moved to those album pages.

[edit] Sophomore album

I removed the comment because it seemed like a bold claim to make without any citation at all - can we get a reference before we re-add? OkamiItto 06:46, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Ep2 front.jpg

Image:Ep2 front.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

[edit] Queen Mary incident?

So what happened on the Queen Mary? It should be explained in the article. --Ragemanchoo (talk) 09:48, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
