Wolf Parade is an indie rock band from Montreal, Quebec formed in 2003. They are best known for their first album Apologies to the Queen Mary (2005).

The group started out as Spencer Krug and Dan Boeckner—the two writers and vocalists of the band. Shortly after, they brought on Arlen Thompson as the drummer, and within a few months, became a band of four including Hadji Bakara on synthesizers. During the first two years they released three self-titled EPs. After Apologies to the Queen Mary was released, Dante DeCaro joined primarily playing guitar.

After another LP, At Mount Zoomer (2008), Hadji Bakara left the band to pursue his academic career.

Two years later, they released another LP, Expo 86 (2010). During their subsequent tour, Wolf Parade went on an indefinite hiatus in 2011. During this time, Krug and Boeckner continued producing music with a few projects old and new.

In 2016, Wolf Parade announced their return from hiatus with a slew of new tour dates and even the promise for some new music. Another self-titled EP—commonly referred to as EP 4—was released shortly after they began touring.

Since then, they released Cry Cry Cry (2017), Dante DeCaro left the band on February 4, 2019, and as a trio they released Thin Mind (2020).

In April 2022, they announced a tour for their debut album that would be performed with Hadji Bakara, marking his return to touring with Wolf Parade.
