Les Dales Hawerchuk

Les Dales Hawerchuk are an alternative rock band[1] from the town of Roberval in the Lac Saint-Jean region of Quebec.

[2] Their name is a reference to former NHL hockey player Dale Hawerchuk,[3] whose hockey card lead singer Sylvain Séguin found in his car in 2001, shortly after being told that his band would need a name in order to perform at a local music festival.

[5] The band's other members are Sébastien Séguin (singer, guitarist, Sylvain Séguin's brother),[2] Pierre Fortin (drummer), and Charles Perron (bassist, replacing Martin Bergeron).

[8] Historian Amy Ransom has called their work "raw, fast-paced, guitar-and-drum-driven rockabilly inflected with punk", noting that it evokes Dale Hawerchuk's "speed and energy",[9] while Ici Musique comments that they are "not known for their subtlety".

[11] The Guardian, however, has described their work as "Green Day-like pop-punk" and "largely unremarkable"[12]
