ABOUT

Alpha & the Van is Mario Gervais - guitar and lead vocals, Alexy Préfontaine (Aeforia) - keyboards, backing vocals, art direction, Samuel Jalbert - drums and lead vocals and Vincent Dessureault - bass. Formed in 2015, the Montreal-based quartet became more active and serious when it released its first single “Lost” in 2015, followed by its EP “Life in a Bubble” in March 2017.

The indie/pop-rock quartet distinguishes itself with its contagious grooves and colourful sound palette and has made a name for itself in the Montreal/Quebec music scene by playing various shows and festivals. The group’s debut album, PROPELLER, was released in August 2019 on all major platforms and is also available on vinyl. The band has since released the dreamy and introspective single “Four Months”, followed by the groovy and melodic track “Sliding Kicks”, and performed at Canadian Music Week’s virtual festival in May 2021. Alpha & the Van’s latest release, “You’re the One”, features lavish guitar and synth melodies and a catchy chorus and is accompanied by a funny, retro-inspired music video.
