by ROSTR
TOPS signed with Ghostly International for records.
TOPS are managed by weekday mgmt, booked by UTA/TOUTPARTOUT & published by Secretly Publishing.
TOPS is an indie pop band formed in Montreal, Quebec, in 2011 by Jane Penny, David Carriere, and Riley Fleck, all originally hailing from Edmonton, Alberta. Breaking through with their debut album Tender Opposites in 2012, the band quickly garnered critical acclaim for their dreamy, emotionally nuanced sound, earning recognition from influential music outlets and building a loyal international following. While TOPS haven’t clinched major mainstream awards, their subsequent albums-Picture You Staring, Sugar at the Gate, and I Feel Alive-have solidified their reputation as standouts in the indie scene, with sold-out tours and festival appearances, including a milestone performance at Coachella in 2025, highlighting their lasting impact and artistry.
