Biography

After getting back from a European tour with his band, Peter Dreimanis met Leah Fay at a bar (The Communist's Daughter[4]) in Toronto, after which they decided to form July Talk, along with Ian Docherty, Josh Warburton, Eamon McGrath (former member), and Danny Miles. July Talk's style of music is a mix of alternative and indie rock.

In 2013, after releasing their debut album, they toured alongside Billy Talent, Matt Mays, Arkells, Sam Roberts, The Besnard Lakes, Weezer, Matthew Good Band, and Tegan and Sara. In the summer of 2013, they began working on a studio album. In 2014 July Talk was nominated for Breakthrough Group of the Year at the 2014 Juno Awards[5] in Canada. During the live broadcast they presented the award for Group of the Year to Canadian Artists Tegan and Sara, alongside Canadian Rap Artist Shad. In Summer 2014 they played at multiple festivals including the Lachie Music and Arts Festival,[6] Toronto Urban Roots Festival, the Festival d'été de Québec, Osheaga, Squamish Valley Music Festival and Rock The Park London. In fall of 2014 they listed tour dates across Canada and the United States in support of The Rural Alberta Advantage, and have upcoming tour dates across North America and Europe.[7]
