History

PS I Love You, a play on lead-singer and guitarist Paul Saulnier's initials, formed in Kingston, Ontario in 2006 as a solo project. Drummer Benjamin Nelson joined in 2008. Saulnier and Nelson had previously worked together in another Kingston band, Magic Jordan. The band gained notoriety as a result of a split 7-inch with artist Diamond Rings, which led to both groups gaining favourable reviews.

The band's debut album, Meet Me at the Muster Station, was released in October, 2010 to favourable reviews from Pitchfork Media, who praised the track "Facelove" as "Best New Music"., and also from Exclaim! Magazine, which included it on its list of Top Pop & Rock Albums of 2010. Meet Me at the Muster Station appeared on the !Earshot National Top 50 Chart, and was longlisted for the 2011 Polaris Music Prize.

Their second album, Death Dreams, was released on May 8, 2012, on Paper Bag Records. The record was also included on the Polaris Prize Long List.

The band released their third studio album, For Those Who Stay, on July 22, 2014, on Paperbag Records.
