Released on November 28, 2025, ‘FIX THIS/MISS THIS’ marks a sharp new moment for Barber For The Queen, a Montreal band long known for folding dance-floor instincts into whatever genre they touch. Formed in 2017 by Jean-Raphaël Côté and Zachary Beaudoin, and was later joined by Simon Boisseau, Matis De Koninck, and Mathis Beauséjour, the band has built a firm reputation in the city’s live circuit, consistently drawing crowds who show up to dance.
‘FIX THIS/MISS THIS’ opens with a measured mid-tempo pulse, shaped by soft synth keys that immediately clue listeners into the group’s current indie-leaning direction. Guest vocalist Rose Perron slips into the arrangement with a focused calm; steering the track toward a neon-washed chorus that evokes the glossy synthwave polish of ’80s night drives, with palm trees cascading past your peripheral vision. Her tone fits naturally against Côté’s, their voices feeding off one another rather than competing for space. A subtle glam-rock-styled vocal distortion flickers, leading the song past its climax, adding grit without disturbing the song’s smooth momentum.
The single reinforces why Barber For The Queen continues to resonate strongly within the independent scene: their commitment to groove never limits their imagination. ‘FIX THIS/MISS THIS’ hints at a band still obsessed with making people move, but increasingly confident in reshaping their identity as they chase new territory.
