Passwords are a Canadian rock band formed in 2009 in Montreal, fronted by Thomas L'Allier and Emmanuel Ethier.

Passwords was created by vocalist and guitarist Thomas L'Allier and long-time musical partner Emmanuel Ethier.

I eventually got bored of 3 chord riffs, and started to write songs with Emmanuel, who was studying classical violin at the time," says L'Allier.

Finally, I'd say the fact that we fully commit to our folk/rock influences, but without sticking to the standard forms and structures of those genres, makes everything stand out" says L'Allier.

[1] Recognized for their pastoral pop sound, dwelling between psychedelic rock and lovelorn folk, the band began gathering a lot of interest in their local independent music scene.
