The group hails from Thornhill, Ontario its members are all classically trained musicians. The band was originally started in 2010 by vocalist Joseph Landau before the other members were added over the last couple of years. The current lineup was finalized in early 2012 and it is mostly composed of musicians that Joseph has studied with and/or played with in university ensembles. The band offers an interesting approach to traditional modern rock music, something much needed in today’s music scene. The name Formalists is an homage to Soviet composer Dmitri Shostakovich, as well as a reference to the highly ordered nature of their compositions.
