Belgrave (band)
Canadian pop band
Belgrave is an artistic pop band from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The band consists of Trevor Boucher on vocals, his brother Liam Boucher on keyboards, Michael Bufo on guitar, and Jonathan Powter on drums.
History
The band was formed in September 2009 under the name Coral Red. In March of that year, the Sam Roberts Band and Coral Red performed at a private event together. During their performance, the band drew the attention of producer Joseph Donovan who invited them to support his band Receivers in May of that same year. The reviews were positive and Donovan arranged to produce the band that summer. Following their performance with Scotland's We Were Promised Jetpacks, the band changed their name to Belgrave on August 26, 2010. After six months in studio Belgrave emerged with a six-song self-titled EP in May 2011. The EP drew the attention of New York's Paper Garden Records earning them a spot in their Lovely Hearts Club and an invitation to New York's CMJ Music Marathon. Belgrave released a new single "Fake Futures" on May 27, 2026.

Why this record matters
The phrase “canadian pop band” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4882680. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2026.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
