Background notes
Archive material and source history
Deportees formed in Vancouver around 2014 with Adrian Jewett on vocals and guitar, Adam White on bass, and Matt Embree on drums. Their first album, 'The Big Fear,' came out in 2016 and was noted for its raw emotional tone. They followed it with 'Islands' in 2018 and 'Terror' in 2021, the latter showing a move toward more atmospheric production.
Jewett's writing often dealt with alienation and darker personal themes, which drew both attention and some criticism for its bleakness. Songs like 'Terror' and 'Love Me Like I'm Gone' reflect that introspective, sometimes discordant approach. The band broke up in 2022, leaving behind a small catalog that stuck with a certain segment of the indie scene.
