What is "mounties"

Mounties is a Canadian indie rock supergroup, consisting of singer-songwriter Hawksley Workman, Steve Bays of Hot Hot Heat and Ryan Dahle of Limblifter.

First proposed by Workman when the three socialized during the Juno Awards of 2009, the trio released its debut single "Headphones" in January 2013. The song's video consists of a clip from the 1980s Canadian children's television series Téléfrançais.

Their debut full-length album, Thrash Rock Legacy, was released March 4, 2014 on Light Organ Records. The album was a longlisted nominee for the 2014 Polaris Music Prize. The group was named SIRIUSXM Emerging Artist of the Year at the 2014 SIRIUSXM Indie Awards.
