Details:
Famed for their white-hot live show and the strength of their songwriting, Teleâs debut album was released this September 2007.

Voted as of one of Canadaâs Top Breakout Bands of 2007 by Chart Magazine the band attracted the attention of 3-time Grammy winner, David Bottrill (Tool, Peter Gabriel, Silverchair) earlier that year. Bottrill loved their fusion of hypnotic melodies and crunchy guitar angst, and the band focused on recording their first full-length album with Bottrill and John Paul Peters (Comeback Kid, The Waking Eyes) in the summer of 2007.

Tele formed in their hometown of Winnipeg, Canada in 2003. The band consists of vocalist and guitarist Matt Worobec, keyboardist Zack Antel, bassist Brendan Berg and Derek Allard on drums. Shortly after recording their first demos they caught the attention of the music industry with showcases at North by Northeast, Canadian Music Week and Junofest.

In 2006 their songs "Choose" and "Lullaby" made to it #1 on Winnipeg's 92.9 KickFM for several weeks in a row, and remain in regular rotation on Hot 103 Winnipeg, the Edge 102.1 in Toronto, Calgaryâs X92.9, 102.9 in Edmonton and nationally on XM Radio. As well, in the summer of 2007 network television approached the band to use one of their songs for NBCâs âScience of Loveâ.

After hearing Tele, it's becomes obvious why Chart Magazine says that they're "all pomp and plenty of circumstance, this is modern music for the modern mind Tele's music [is] epic in scope." Their fan base continues to grow exponentially, because Tele's music finds that unmistakable balance - creating striking soundscapes that vary from the wounded to the hopeful, but are always ripe with emotion.

What People Are Saying...

âTele took the stage and proceeded to blow the roof off the place. Their keyboard-driven, electronica-fused set fired on all cylinders, and Matt Worobecâs fervent howl was probably heard in space.â
- Jen Zoratti, Uptown Magazine

"Clearly Tele know what it's all about when it comes to delivering the goods on stage. Any time you combine good music with good looks, you're bound to win over the crowd exactly the way Tele did." - Rob Kingston, ChartAttack.com

"Singer/guitarist Matt Worobec's utilizes his wide vocal range from a strong, aggressive delivery to soaring and sweet. The songs, especially these, are radio-ready." - Karen Bliss, Rollingstone.com and Canadian Musician Magazine

"Tele's music was epic in scope. So much so that it's hard to believe it came from a band with a four-letter moniker. Thick, meaty guitar riffs met up with weirdo keyboard parts, crashing in mid-air and spilling the volume out into the crowd." - Cameron Gordon, Chart Magazine
