Band Bio

Les Dérailleurs are Dan Cooper (guitar), Joe Pater (vocals, guitar), Jeremy Smith (drums), and Frank Sinistra (bass).

They have opened for Wolf Parade and Bush Tetras, and have often shared the stage with fellow Western Mass bands Perennial and Bunnies, amongst others — see the Shows page.

Their sound has been described as "blazing guitars and a taut rhythm section" with "expressive, catchy" vocals (Eric Danton).

Their first full length album, recorded in collaboration with Mark Alan Miller (Dinosaur Jr., New Radiant Storm King) is set to be released in the fall of 2026.
