About

Former EMI Artists and 90's Canadian Indie Alt Band hailing from Yarmouth, Nova Scotia Canada. Members are Mike Carter, Chris Thibedeau, Jonathan Kini, and Donnie Leblanc. These East Coast music darlings initially encountered a bit of controversy with their provocative name, yet gained a loyal audience with a keen ear for this band's horizon of influences from Bowie, the Kinks, and Big Star through to Matthew Sweet, the Posies, Weezer, and the Gin Blossoms, resulting in fetching songcraft and raucous indie power pop. TPH are set to redefine the indie rock landscape with their highly anticipated new single, “Criminal of Love,” an irresistible track that exemplifies their mastery of melodic hooks and unforgettable earworms. As former EMI artists, TPH have a storied history of crafting clean, indie rock anthems. Now, with their latest record produced at Ironshore Studios in the Cayman Islands, they’re taking their sound to thrilling new heights. The band’s collaboration with producer Paul Suarez, a protégé of the legendary Andy Wallace, has created what might just be the finest album to emerge from Canada in 2025. With the 2025 release of *Weirdo Squad*, The Purple Helmets are poised to cement their status as one of the premier indie rock acts of their generation.
