Counterparts is a Canadian hardcore punk band that formed in Hamilton, Ontario, in 2007. The band was initially known as Brigade and then Sharia, before settling on Counterparts in 2008. The original lineup included Brendan Murphy on vocals, Jesse Doreen and Curtis Washik on guitars, Eric Bazinet on bass, and Ryan Juntilla on drums. In 2009, Alex Re joined as a permanent guitarist after Washik’s departure. The band toured Canada in March 2009. Their debut album, “Prophets,” was released on February 23, 2010, through Verona Records, a label founded by Shane Told of Silverstein. In the same year, drummer Ryan Juntilla left and was replaced by Chris Needham, who appeared on a split EP with Exalt.
In 2011, Counterparts signed with Victory Records and released their second album, “The Current Will Carry Us,” on October 24, 2011. This album received positive reviews from publications like Rock Sound and Exclaim! magazine for its energetic and melodic sound. Drummer Ryan Juntilla rejoined the band temporarily for the recording of this album but departed again in 2012, with Kyle Brownlee taking over on drums for tours. The band continued to experience lineup changes, including the departure of guitarist Alex Re in late 2013, who was replaced by Adrian Lee. Bassist Eric Bazinet also left in 2014, leading to Blake Hardman and subsequently Brian Kaczmarczyk filling the bass role. Their fourth album, “Tragedy Will Find Us,” was released in July 2015 under Pure Noise Records and New Damage Records, marking an important step in their career.
Counterparts released their fifth album, “You’re Not You Anymore,” on September 22, 2017, through New Damage and Pure Noise Records. This album was notable for being the first without Jesse Doreen’s involvement, yet it continued to receive critical attention for its contribution to the melodic hardcore scene. Their sixth studio album, “Nothing Left to Love,” was released on November 1, 2019, and saw the return of guitarist Alex Re. This album achieved a milestone by reaching number 97 on the Billboard 200 charts. Most recently, Counterparts released their seventh studio album, “A Eulogy for Those Still Here,” on October 7, 2022, and a live album, “Live in Toronto,” in July 2024. On November 7, 2024, they surprise-released a new EP titled “Heaven Let Them Die.”
