The Band, which was first called Split Stem, started in 2003 with Marc-Antoine Turgeon (Torsh) on the guitar. When Hugo (the first bass man of the band) went for a trip to Cuba, Benjamin Piette (Ben) took his place on the bass guitar. Rapidly, Ben and Torsh realised they had a lot in common and became good friends. Indeed the band decided to keep Ben in the band to play bass and sing instead of their other bass player. It didn’t take too long for Ben and Torsh to kick the other guitarist out of the band and a little later the drummer too. So they took Mathieu Babin (Math), one of their friends on the drum adding more of a pop punk taste to their style. With a new band like that they both agreed that the name of the band wasn’t good anymore. So the power trio Perfect Match saw the day in 2004 as a pop punk band. Playing more than twenty gigs and recording a demo with the guitarist of Reset (which is the old Simple Plan), the band was doing pretty well, but at the end of their first year together, Ben and Torsh we’re finding Math not motivated enough for the plans they had and furthermore, the style of music wasn’t punk enough for both of them, so they asked him to leave after a long talk, and started to search for a new drummer.
Anthony Cantin (Tony), who had already played in a lot of bands, was interested in trying out for Perfect Match. Learning all the songs in two weeks for an important gig and writing two new songs on top of that, Ben and Torsh knew he was the drummer they needed. Just after their gig in the spring of 2005, Old School Politics was born. There was still something missing, for the band wasn’t complete, and everyone knew it. After trying over fifteen guitarists, Torsh asked one of OSP’s friends, Jean-Christophe Durand (guitarist of Still Blind), to come and play guitar for them. Again, learning a bunch of songs rapidly, they knew he was the little thing that was missing in the band. Old School Politics was finally complete and ready to play everywhere and anytime..!
From then on, Old School Politics has always displayed their values, played over a hundred gigs and have had almost one hundred thousand plays on MySpace. They’re always ready to help other bands whenever they can and are working with well known Canadian Production Companies like SOS Production (booking Lagwagon, Mxpx, Only Crime, Cigar etc.), Punk Me Up (booking A Wilhelm Scream, Corporation, Passenger Action etc.) and a lot more..!
With their own true sound, Old School Politics is definitely a band you should want to see live, drink beers with or simply listen to..!

Old School Politics a débuté sous le nom de "Split Stem" en 2003 et était alors un quatuor dans lequel Marc-Antoine Turgeon (Torsh) qui se situait à la guitare, décida de changer de bassiste. C'est alors que Benjamin Piette (Ben) entra dans le groupe en tant que bassiste et chanteur. Ce ne fut pas long pour que Ben et Torsh développent une grande amitié et complicité musicale. Ils changèrent donc de guitariste et, vers le milieu de l'Année 2004, prirent Mathieu Babin à la batterie et devinrent un trio qui prit le nom de "Perfect Match". Vu les influences des membres, le trio était très pop et après un an, ils commencèrent à se chercher un autre son. Ils décidèrent donc, après commun accord, de trouver un nouveau batteur qui serait plus dans la veine de la musique qu'ils voulaient jouer. Après longues recherche, ils trouvèrent Anthony Cantin qui avait déjà beaucoup d’expérience de scène et qui entra dans le groupe en fin 2005 pour finaliser le trio. Le nom changea alors définitivement pour s'appeler "Old School Politics". Cependant, malgré leur grande complicité musicale, le groupe trouvait qu’il manquait encore quelque chose à leur son. C’est après avoir essayé plus de 15 guitaristes, que Torsh, demanda au guitariste d’un groupe de leurs amis, Jean Christophe Durand (Jésus) d’essayer dans le groupe. Dès qu’ils jouèrent ensemble, le groupe sut que c’était l’élément qui leur manquait. Depuis leurs débuts, ces derniers ont changés 3 fois de noms, bu des tonnes de bières, fait les blagues les plus déplacées, gâchés des dizaines de party, mais sont encore là pour jouer n'importe où et n'importe quand. L'objectif du groupe dans les prochaines années est de faire entendre leur musique partout où il est possible tout en essayant de garder toutes les sortes de cultures punk vivantes en essayant de réunifier la scène punk le plus possible..!
