About ACTORS:
Unsurprisingly for a band whose music has been featured on several Netflix tv series, the new song has a cinematic presence from beginning to end. With otherworldly production (courtesy of bandleader Jason Corbett) 'In Real Life' subtly introduces a myriad of different elements throughout its three minutes and 15 seconds run time. Intertwining ominous beats, ethereal synth sounds, and perfectly placed electric guitars, while leaving ample room for hard hitting bass lines and highly-relatable lyrics, the track comes ready made for TV. Picture an episode of your favourite TV show, when the main character is walking down the street in reflection, knowing they were meant for so much more and ready to take on the world...
On the song, Jason comments:
"Writing and recording music is a kind of creative dance. You don’t always know who’s leading. You just do your best to listen and not get in the way.
'In Real Life' is the beginning of another chapter of the ACTORS journey."

ACTORS began by releasing a string of popular singles, starting with “Post Traumatic Love” in 2012 and building a dedicated fanbase while eschewing a debut album release for the band’s first six years of existence. In 2018, the Jason Corbett-led foursome signed with Toronto-based Artoffact Records and released its long-awaited debut, It Will Come to You, quickly becoming one of the marquee acts on the label and following with their sophomore release 'Acts of Worship' in 2021. In Late 2020, ACTORS announced a new single, “Love U More,” with Juno-Award winning director Peter Ricq contributing his talents to the accompanying video.
Songs like “L’appel du Vide,” “Slaves,” “Face Meets Glass,” and “Bury Me” are bangers that glisten via Corbett’s production job: infectious beats propelled by the warm layers of synth, bass, and drums contributed by the rest of the band. Corbett writes, produces, mixes, and masters all ACTORS music at his own Vancouver studio, Jacknife Sound and names David Bowie as a fundamental influence – Bowie’s sense of confidence and creativity are in full effect on It Will Come to You. Much more than a retro act, this is music that stands all on its own, full of life and complete with unforgettable hooks. Perhaps best described as a “post-post-punk” band, ACTORS belongs in the mix alongside bands like The Soft Moon and Cold Cave.
ACTORS have spent the last several years touring the USA, Canada, and Europe, while hitting many of the best-loved festivals, including Amphifest, Wave-Gotik-Treffen, Cold Waves, Substance, Death Disco, Verboden and many more.”
