ABOUT

LRLR is a Toronto-based electronic alt-rock band made up of Peter Chapman (multi-instrumentalist, writer/producer), Steph Copeland (vocals, writer/producer), and Michelle Osis (modular synths, writer/producer). Focused on creating noisy, lyric-driven songs that draw from experimental, post-punk and alternative production, LRLR's resulting sound is raw, cinematic and quietly confrontational. All three members also work professionally as composers for film and television, with their work spanning drama, thriller, horror, documentary and video games.

Peter Chapman brings more than two decades of experience as a producer, songwriter, composer and multi-instrumentalist to LRLR, drawing from a career spanning underground hip-hop, electronic, rock and scoring for film, TV and video games.

​

Long before becoming one of Canada’s busiest screen composers, Chapman was deeply immersed in Toronto’s independent music scene, performing and recording as Coins and Peter Project where he became known for his genre-blurring approach to production. He’s been a member of influential Canadian hip-hop collective Backburner, garage-rock band The Midways, in addition to performing live with Tongue Helmet, alongside July Talk drummer Danny Miles.

​

Chapman’s collaborations include his cult classic Daft Science - an unauthorized collision of Beastie Boys vocals and Daft Punk samples that went viral years after its creation and was named by Billboard among the best Beastie Boys remixes of all time.

​

Chapman’s instinct for unexpected combinations has also shaped his career as a composer. Film, television and game credits include Workin’ Moms, SkyMed, Wynonna Earp, The Lake, Renovation Island, Leave It to Bryan, Guacamelee!, LittleBigPlanet Karting and  Sound Shapes, sharing a game credit with artists including Beck and deadmau5. His screen work has earned multiple Canadian Screen Awards and nominations, Canadian Screen Music Awards, SOCAN recognition and an ASCAP award.

​

For LRLR, Chapman’s unbridled instincts for genre-mashing converge with fellow composers to create songs that blur noise, score and song.

Steph Copeland is a songwriter, vocalist, producer and composer who began her recording career in the Windsor/Detroit electronic and alt-pop scene. She toured parts of North America with fellow trip-hop and electronic artists on both sides of the border before launching her solo LP Public Panic.

​

Copeland's cinematic and experimental approach to production within the song has also led to commercial work for The North Face, Thule Sweden and NBA Canada, alongside collaborations with Maia Davies, Maesic, Kibra, Oleyada, Ben Kunder, Kinley, Kero, Sarah MacDougall, Russell Louder, Freek Van Workum and Christopher Wong, among others. Her original songs have appeared in Netflix’s Tiny Pretty Things, Snowpiercer, L.A.’s Finest, UnREAL, Mysticons and Unicorn Academy. She has also performed with Ria Mae, playing keys and backing vocals.

​

Copeland’s music eventually led to a parallel career in film and television, beginning with the electronic horror score for Antisocial in 2012. She has since scored more than 40 features, series and commercials, including The Retreat, It Feeds, Outpost, Cascade, The Oak Room, The Jane Mysteries, Bẫy Tiền (Vietnam), and Murder on the Inca Trail (Germany). In 2023, she worked with the Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra in Bratislava on the score for political drama Réveillon, as well as providing additional sound design and additional music in A24's 2026 viral horror Undertone. Her work has earned multiple Canadian Screen Music Awards and Canadian Screen Award nominations.

​

Copeland’s incisive vocals and resistance-rooted lyrics meet a cinematic, fragmented production palette with LRLR, aiming to create songs that are hard to pin down.
