Caveboy is a Canadian indie pop band formed in 2015 in Montreal. The band released one self-titled extended play in 2015 and eight singles between 2016 and 2019. Their first full-length album, Night in the Park, Kiss in the Dark, was released on January 31, 2020.[1]

History

The trio originally played music together beginning in 2012 under the name Diamond Bones.[2] They renamed the band to Caveboy in 2015. The members are queer-identified or vocal allies to the LGBTQ community.[3][4][5]

Caveboy's song "Color War" was featured in an episode of the television series Orange is the New Black.[6] Their track "Something Like Summer" appeared in the trailer of the 2018 film The New Romantic and in the 2020 Netflix miniseries Maid.[6][7] The band's cover of the traditional Christmas song "Jolly Old Saint Nicholas" was featured in the 2020 film Happiest Season.[8] The song "New Touch" appeared in an episode of The Sex Lives of College Girls.[9] The song "Home is Where" appears in an episode of the American comedy-drama television series You're the Worst.[6]

In 2019 the group toured with Canadian indie rock band Wintersleep.[10][11][12]

In the lead-up to the release of their single "Hide Your Love" from their upcoming album, Caveboy created an online escape room-style game. Fans were given daily clues via the band's social media channels to solve puzzles. For each correct answer, fans were provided with a segment of the song.[13][14][15]

On the week of October 31, 2019, "Hide Your Love" was voted the number one song in Canada on the CBC Music Top 20.[16]

The trio performed two shows at the 2019 Halifax Pop Explosion Music Festival and Conference.[17][18][19]

Their debut album, Night in the Park, Kiss in the Dark, was released on January 31, 2020.[20] Album producer Derek Hoffman was nominated for the Jack Richardson Producer of the Year Award for the Juno Awards of 2020 for his work producing "Hide Your Love."[21]
