Repartee
2016-2017 Annual Report feature
Story
Thanks to the support from FACTOR, Toronto-by-way-of-Newfoundland quintet Repartee were able to record, market and tour their debut album All Lit Up.
They’ve now been able to spread their fiery electro–pop dance party to sweaty crowds across the country and around the world.
Some highlights from All Lit Up so far include; CMW Indies Winner for “Best Pop Group,” five East Coast Music Awards nominations, Top 10 Finalist for The JUNO Awards 2017 Allan Slaight Master Class, CBC Music’s “25 Best Canadian Albums of 2016,” and earning the #1 Most Added Track across all radio formats in July 2016 for “Dukes.”
Some notable shows include Jamie Oliver’s new Big Festival, Halifax Pop Explosion, George St. Fest, Pop Montréal, Hillside Festival, and Canadian Music Week Indies to name a few.
With a strong team, an enthusiastic band, and help from FACTOR, we accomplished getting this release the visibility and accessibility it deserved.
Their success so far would not be possible without FACTOR’s support and we will always be thankful that they exist here in Canada. — Sleepless Records
