Leading independent music publisher Third Side Music (TSM) has announced an exclusive worldwide publishing deal with the microtonal rock orchestra
Angine de Poitrine. This partnership follows one of the fastest global breakouts in recent history for the Quebec-based duo, comprised of brothers Khn and Klek de Poitrine.
Under the new agreement, TSM will represent the band’s catalog globally, working alongside their management, Spectacles Bonzaï, to develop creative opportunities in film, television, advertising, and gaming. Angine de Poitrine joins a cutting-edge TSM roster that includes artists such as Courtney Barnett, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, and BADBADNOTGOOD. Jeff Waye, TSM Co-Founder and COO, said “We’re so excited to be part of the Angine de Poitrine team and get to work with the band and the Spectacles Bonzaï crew. As a company that also has head offices in Quebec, it’s a natural fit to continue to help shine an international light on the amazing music that comes out of this region. Angine de Poitrine have really perfected the combination of incredible musicianship and concept, and in this business, it always just hits a bit more satisfying when you can bring the weird to the masses,” said Jeff Waye, TSM Co-Founder and COO.
The experimental rock duo catapulted into international popularity after a KEXP session went viral, amassing over 13.5 million YouTube views. Their sophomore album, Vol. II, has already garnered over 20 million Spotify streams since its April 3 release. According to Luminate, the band saw a staggering 16,601% increase in global streams compared to the start of 2026. Their single "Fabienk" recently topped Spotify’s Viral Songs Global Chart and became one of the 50 most Shazamed tracks worldwide.
To meet high demand, the band has secured worldwide physical distribution for their first two albums, Vol. I and Vol. II, set for release on June 12. This distribution network includes partners like ATO in the U.S., F>A>B and Spectacles Bonzaï (Canada) and Republic of Music for the rest of the world.
Angine de Poitrine is currently selling out international venues months in advance. Their upcoming tour schedule includes headlining The Great Escape (UK): opening beach party on May 13, 2026, and opening for Jack White at the RBC Amphitheatre on July 14, 2026.
Global Dates: Non-stop international touring through Europe, U.S. Mexico, South America, and Japan over the next year.
