Perspective

The group was discovered at a battle of the bands in Stratford, Ontario in early 2010,[3] and were soon signed to Warner Music Canada.[4] They took their band name from a quote in the H.G. Wells movie Things to Come.[5]

The core of the group are twin siblings Mercedes and Phoenix Arn-Horn who are both classically trained in voice, piano, guitar, and cello.[6] Bassist Brandon Lockwood was recruited in 2013 after original bassist David Blake-Dickson decided to depart from the band for personal reasons.[7]

In 2012, they were named one of the Top 100 Bands You Need to Know by Alternative Press Magazine[8] An extended version of their For Now EP was released July 18, 2012, on Grizz Rhythms/Spinning.[1]

To promote their third EP, Becoming, the band produced a 6-part spoof Reality TV show, "The (Un)Real Lives of Courage My Love", which was released on the band's YouTube Channel.[9]

In August 2013, they were featured on the cover of Canadian Musician magazine.[10] The feature article focused on the band's approach to finding success in the new music industry by utilizing social media to interact with fans all over the world.[11]

The band was nominated for 'Breakthrough Group of the Year' at the 2014 Juno Awards.[12]

On February 11, 2015, Courage My Love signed to Ohio-based independent recording label InVogue Records.[13] Courage My Love later re-released Becoming as a full-length album under InVogue Records on March 24, 2015.[14]

The band was also featured on the InVogue Records first Christmas compilation album Happy Holidays, I Miss You. They contributed their cover of Last Christmas originally by the English band Wham! released Thanksgiving 2016.

In 2017, the band released their second full-length record Synesthesia through Warner Canada[15] and toured Europe and the UK with Halflives.

The band released their sixth EP Spectra independently in 2020.[16] The same year, Courage My Love disbanded due to the Arn-Horn siblings' disillusionment with the band, feeling that they had been creatively stifled by their record label and lost their sense of direction.[17][18] They went on to form a new band together, Softcult.[17]
