Arcade Fire is a heralded indie rock band known for their anthemic sound and expansive live performances. Formed in 2003 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, the band was co-founded by husband-and-wife duo Win Butler and Régine Chassagne along with Win's brother William Butler, and their friends Richard Reed Parry, Tim Kingsbury, and Jeremy Gara. The band's debut album, "Funeral," released in 2004, received widespread critical acclaim and is often credited with bringing the band to the forefront of the indie rock scene. Arcade Fire is also known for their multi-instrumental performances, with members frequently switching instruments during live shows.

Over the years, Arcade Fire has continued to evolve their sound with subsequent album releases such as "Neon Bible" (2007), "The Suburbs" (2010)—which won Album of the Year at the Grammy Awards—"Reflektor" (2013), and "Everything Now" (2017). The band's willingness to explore different musical styles and thematic complexity has solidified their position as one of the most innovative and influential bands of the modern era. In 2022, they released their latest album “WE,” featuring tracks like "Unconditional I (Lookout Kid)" and "The Lightning I, II," which sees the band continuing to blend storytelling with sonic exploration. Their versatility is also evident in works like the "Her (Original Score)," where they ventured into film scoring, showcasing their dynamic artistic range.
