2. They are part of three genres: indie rock, new wave, post-punk revival.
3. Their song Black Sheep was featured in the movie Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
4. They write their own songs, with their lead singer Emily Haines contributing most of the lyrics. She also has really amazing style.
5. They include a synthesizer, and a theremin.
6. They have been based in Montreal, New York, London, and Los Angeles.
7. Some of their songs like Poster of a Girl include french lyrics... affiche d'une fille.
