The orchestral, dark pop sound and dramatic live shows cemented The Dears at the foundation of the then-emerging Canadian indie-rock renaissance. Their live show was described as \u201cthe sonic equivalent of seeing the face of god.\u201d In 2003 they released their second full-length album <em>No Cities Left<\/em> in Canada, and a string of highly anticipated shows at SXSW \u201804 prompted the international release of<em> No Cities Left<\/em> with Bella Union. <em>Gang of Losers<\/em> came in 2006, was well received by the press, and was short-listed for the Polaris Music Prize. Their eighth studio album <em>Lovers Rock<\/em> was released in 2020. In June 2025 the group teased new music with the single \u201cBabe, We\u2019ll Find A Way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>POLARIS MUSIC PRIZE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Polaris Music Prize is a Canadian charitable arts organization celebrating 20 years of honouring music as art. From June to September 2025, the new Polaris Music Prize Festival brings concerts, salons, and listening sessions to Toronto and across Ontario \u2014 culminating in the Polaris Concert &amp; Award Ceremony on September 16 at Massey Hall. Through its Album, Song, and Heritage Prizes, Polaris amplifies Canadian artists based on artistic merit \u2014 not genre, sales, or algorithmic popularity. With 700+ artists championed, over $1.4M in prize and artist fees awarded, and a jury of over 200 music critics and curators, Polaris protects space for boundary-pushing music and fosters a deeper national music culture.
