ACTORS

About

With a sound that feels like a neon-lit alleyway drenched in rain, Vancouver-based post-punk outfit ACTORS has carved out a distinct niche in the modern darkwave scene. Fronted by the enigmatic Jason Corbett, the band blends brooding synths, razor-sharp guitar lines, and propulsive rhythms to create a sound that’s both nostalgic and forward-thinking. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Joy Division, New Order, and Depeche Mode, ACTORS infuses their music with a cinematic quality, evoking the mood of a dystopian thriller. Since their formation in 2012, ACTORS has steadily risen through the ranks of the underground, earning a reputation for their electrifying live performances and meticulous production. Their 2018 debut album, *It Will Come to You*, was a breakthrough moment, showcasing their ability to balance melancholy with danceable energy. Tracks like “L’appel du Vide” and “Slaves” became instant anthems, solidifying their place in the darkwave revival. Beyond their music, ACTORS has cultivated a strong visual identity, with Corbett’s striking vocals and the band’s sleek aesthetic resonating deeply with fans of goth and post-punk subcultures. Their collaborations with artists like Bootblacks and Lebanon Hanover have further cemented their influence. Currently, ACTORS is riding high on the success of their 2022 album *Acts of Worship*, which explores themes of desire and devotion with a darker edge. With a growing international fanbase and a relentless touring schedule, ACTORS continues to push the boundaries of their genre, proving that the shadows are where the most compelling stories unfold.
