Ought was a post-punk band from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The band consisted of Tim Darcy (vocals, guitar), Ben Stidworthy (bass guitar), Matt May (keyboards) and Tim Keen (drums).
Ought was formed in 2011 when its members began living together in a communal band practice space and recorded their earliest material. The band's first EP, New Calm, was released in 2012. After signing with Constellation Records, a full-length album, More than Any Other Day, was released in 2014. The album achieved critical acclaim, including a Best New Music accolade from Pitchfork Media.[1] It was noted in numerous year-end lists for 2014 including Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, Drowned In Sound, Loud and Quiet, Exclaim!, The Crack and Paste. The album reached #20 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart in the United States.[2]
In October 2014, the band released Once More with Feeling, an EP of B-sides from More Than Any Other Day and re-recordings of earlier songs. Sun Coming Down, the band's second full-length album, was released in September 2015.[3]
