Formed in 2010, MarketForces began as a creative outlet to refine original ideas, but it quickly evolved into a collaborative force. Their mission is simple yet profound: to find humanity within the systems that often try to quantify it.
The band’s signature sound blends classic Canadian rock sensibilities with a modern sense of urgency. With driving rhythms, melodic bass lines, and soaring vocals, they create a backdrop for lyrics that navigate the fragile balance between risk and reward.
From their debut record Now (2011) to the critically acclaimed Love and Other Conspiracy Theories (2014) and the philosophical edge of Opportunity Costs (2016), MarketForces has spent over a decade honing a "tight, evolved sound."
Their latest chapter, Disruptive Tenderness, explores the friction between the harsh realities of the modern world and the softness required to survive them. This record is build on the talents of John Tidswell (NeoA4), Andrew White (Joint Chiefs), Dionne Danyk and Jeff Schmidt (Darkroom). This record is supported by a community of elite musicians including Don Horak, Joel Anderson, Doug Radford and Tiegen Costa.
