Saris

**Saris** is a Vancouver-based indie rock band known for their moody, atmospheric sound that blends post-rock textures with alternative rock energy. Formed in 2010, the group—featuring members like Nathan Gagné (vocals/guitar) and Matt Van Boeyen (bass)—carved out a niche with introspective lyrics and dynamic arrangements, drawing comparisons to acts like **Brand New** or **Thrice**. Their releases, including the emotionally charged *Until We Have Faces* (2013) and the brooding *Curse of Time* (2015), showcase their knack for balancing raw emotion with intricate instrumentation. Saris toured across Canada and the U.S., sharing stages with bands like **Said the Whale**, before going on hiatus in the late 2010s. Their music, including tracks like *Ghosts of Yesterday* and *Beyond the Rainbow*, remains a cult favorite for fans of earnest, layered rock.
