Fake Shark

Fake Shark (formerly known as Fake Shark – Real Zombie!) is a Canadian alternative rock band from Vancouver, British Columbia. Originally formed in 2005, while their early musical style mainly combined elements of dance punk, post-hardcore and IDM, the group gradually evolved to a more commercially streamlined sound in 2015, within the realm of indie rock, electro pop, new wave and slacker rock. They are best known for their 2021 hit single, "Loser", which charted to #3 on the Canadian alternative radio and are currently signed to Canadian independent label, Light Organ Records.

The band's current line-up consists of founding members and primary songwriters; lead vocalist, Kevin "Kevvy" Maher, guitarist, Louis Hearn (under the stage name, "Louis Wu") along with drummer, Alex Glassford and multi-instrumentalist, Jake Fox. As "Fake Shark", the group have released four studio albums via Light Organ; Faux Real (2017), Time for the Future (2021), Afterglow (2024). and Rhythm Prism (2026).

Over the course of their career, Fake Shark have toured extensively across North America, Asia, The United Kingdom, and Europe, and have shared the stage and collaborated with the likes of artists, such as Mindless Self Indulgence, Hot Hot Heat, Klaxons, Die Mannequin, Annie Hardy, Hannah Georgas, Kool Keith, The Darcys, and The Glorious Sons to name a few.
