The Hidden Cameras are a Canadian indie pop band, heralded for their spirited live performances and richly orchestrated recordings, often with a touch of the theatrical. They were formed in Toronto in 2001 by lead singer and songwriter Joel Gibb, who is the creative force behind the band's music and vision. The Hidden Cameras blend melodious pop with elements of folk and baroque, creating a sound that is as infectious as it is thoughtful, underscored by Gibb's insightful and often provocatively frank lyricism. The band navigates themes of sexuality, politics, and identity with a playfulness that belies the depth of the subject matter.

Over the years, The Hidden Cameras have earned widespread critical acclaim and a dedicated following for their unabashedly queer narrative and inventive soundscape. The album "Origin:Orphan" (2009) saw them expanding their musical boundaries, while "AGE" (2014) continued this exploration with a robust and mature sound. With the release of "Home On Native Land" in 2016, the band looked homeward, infusing their indie sensibilities with country and folk influences to craft a unique take on Canadiana. Their more recent offerings, including tracks such as "Day I Left Home" and "Gay Goth Scene," showcase The Hidden Cameras' enduring ability to captivate listeners through their evolving style and the ongoing, heartfelt storytelling that characterize their distinctive body of work.
