Formed in 2008, they released their debut album Nous autres in 2015. The album sold 80,000 copies in Quebec and was certified gold,[4] and the band were the most-played artists of any genre on francophone radio in Canada in 2016.[5] In addition to their Group of the Year win at the Felix Awards in 2016, the album also won Pop Album of the Year.[1]
Their second album, La Route, was released in 2017.[6] The album's single "Comme avant" spent a record 21 weeks as the most-played song on Quebec radio,[7] and the album was again certified gold.[8]
Their third album, À tous les vents, followed in 2020.[9] The album debuted at #1 on Quebec's pop charts.[10] With touring impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada, the album was partially promoted by a documentary special on the duo, 2Frères : L’improbable parcours, which was broadcast by TVA on September 27, 2020,[11] as well as a companion book, 2Frères, À tous les vents : L’histoire d’un improbable parcours, by François Couture.[12]
They received three Felix nominations at the 42nd Felix Awards in 2020, for Group of the Year, Adult Contemporary Album of the Year for À tous les vents, and Song of the Year for the album's title track.[13]
They received two Juno Award nominations at the Juno Awards of 2021, for Breakthrough Group of the Year and Francophone Album of the Year for À tous les vents.[14]
