Absolute Losers

Sam Langille, Josh Langille, and Daniel Hartinger are Absolute Losers, a rock trio from Charlottetown, PEI. In August of 2023, they released their debut album, At The Mall, a danceable 12-track offering that confronts hardships without taking itself too seriously. The band camouflages pop sensibilities with wiry guitar work, intertwining bass and drum parts, and laid-back vocals. Since releasing At The Mall, Absolute Losers have earned a reputation for their air-tight live shows that deliver one burst of energy after the next. They’ve opened for TUNS, Daniel Romano, Skydiggers, and Holy F*ck and recently performed at Dawson City Music Festival. 2025 festival highlights include Hillside, Paris Drinks, Riverfest Elora, Lawnya Vawnya, and Cloggeroo. The band teamed up with Juno- and Polaris Prize-nominated composer/producer Graham Walsh (Holy F**k, Preoccupations, Alvvays, Sam Roberts Band, Lights) for their unreleased sophomore album. This recording sees the Losers shed their post-punk camouflage and proudly bear their knack for catchy melodies, soaring harmonies, and straight-to-point pop songwriting. Thanks to Walsh’s experimental tendencies, Absolute Losers’ sophomore album breathes new life into the tried-and-true techniques of '60s and '70s power-pop.
