Over The Top — Current Clients

The sound of the future as imagined in the 1980s. The nostalgic theme song to your favourite childhood cartoon that may have never existed. The hopefulness of someone from the future describing the utopia of tomorrow. Like a paradox of time travel, TWRP is all of these things and yet none of them.

This optimistic fascination with the future, grounded in the nostalgia of the past, is what has shaped TWRP. They are the product of many eclectic styles and eras, crafted into something simultaneously playful, heartfelt, and tongue-in-cheek, all delivered with self-aware bombast and an uncommon musical precision. Old funk, modern electronic, and classic rock converge in their science fiction universe, as if Earth, Wind & Fire, Justice, and Yes provided the sound track to a Dune movie that was actually good.

From humble beginnings on Canada’s east coast, to multiple transplants leading to years living inToronto and Los Angeles, the broadly-defined synth-rock quartet has been quietly and steadily gaining a devoted and sizable cult following over the past 13 years. In recent years TWRP has experienced a golden era, growing rapidly from ongoing work with collaborators such as ColonelChris Hadfield and Andrew Huang, as well as from major commercial successes as the band behind Billboard-topping comedy music stars Ninja Sex Party and Star bomb. With the power of an internet-gained fandom at their backs, TWRP has toured the US and Canada extensively for years, performed on Late Night with Conan O’Brien in 2018, and in 2019 broadened their reach internationally with tours in the UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand.

TWRP’s new album, Over The Top, is just that - another entry in their discography that delivers an exaggerated rendering of their wide-ranging influences, while not taking itself too seriously.Rich vintage synthesizers, shred guitar, and driving disco rhythms all find their place in the music- and despite an air of levity and irony in it’s delivery, real themes of change, perseverance, and gratitude permeate the album. With an attitude of playfulness and honesty in the music, OverThe Top seems to say that now more than ever it’s important to find the humour and enjoyment through life’s challenges
