Dear Rouge

A Juno Award-winning Canadian duo, Dear Rouge make driving dance-rock with glistening synths and arena-ready hooks. Their self-released single "I Heard I Had" was a Canadian radio hit in 2014, leading to a record deal with Universal. Two years later, they took home the Juno for Breakthrough Group of the Year on the strength of their major-label debut, 2015's Black to Gold. They stayed in the limelight with alternative hits like "Live Through the Night" (from 2018's PHASES) and "Fake Fame" (from 2022's Spirit). While remaining active on the festival circuit, Dear Rouge issued the single "Goon" in 2024. The McTaggarts were both touring musicians based in Vancouver when they met; Drew was a member of the indie rock band Maclean and Danielle (then Heykants) was half of Gaetz Ave with Ben Mullen. By the time they formed Dear Rouge, they had parted ways with their other projects and were married. With Danielle McTaggart singing lead, they debuted their spiky, anthemic sound on the Heads Up! Watch Out! EP in 2012, following it with another EP, Kids Wanna Know, later the same year. In late 2013, an unsigned Dear Rouge released the single "I Heard I Had." It began to chart for radio play in 2014 and went on win the SOCAN Songwriting Prize. Universal Canada signed the band for their full-length debut, Black to Gold, which arrived in March 2015. Featuring the alternative hits "Black to Gold" and "Tongue," the album was followed by a Juno Award for Breakthrough Group of the Year in April 2016. A month later, the Jason Priestley detective show Private Eyes premiered on the Global network with Dear Rouge's cover of the Hall & Oates song as its theme. The duo then went to work on their second LP, which was inspired by witnessing the extremes of both positive and negative major life events. Titled PHASES, the 2018 release included collaborations with, among others, singer/songwriter Dan Mangan and Hot Hot Heat's Steve Bays, and was highlighted by the alternative rock hit "Live Through the Night." A deluxe version of the album followed in 2019, as the band set out on tour in support of Arkells. Dear Rouge returned with singles from their third full-length in 2021, including the alternative hit "Fake Fame." Featuring a collaboration with Lights, the complete Spirit arrived on Pheromone Recordings in April 2022. The group supported it with opening slots in Canada for Vance Joy, a tour with Metric, and a headlining tour of their own. After returning to the studio, they re-emerged in early 2024 with the single "Goon."
