ABOUT US

We're all Twisted Puppets, until the music sets us free!

​

OUR IDENTITY

Third Place is more than a rock band — it’s a release.

​

Based in Montréal and active since 2007, the band blends alternative rock, melodic hooks and theatrical energy with an unfiltered approach to emotion and self-expression. At the heart of Third Place has always been the same idea: music as a place to let go, turn up the noise and feel something real.

​

OUR PSYCHO SHOW

On stage, that idea becomes The Psycho Show — an immersive live experience built around energy, characters, masks, crowd interaction and controlled chaos.

​

Over more than 400 performances across Canada, the U.S. and Europe, Third Place has appeared at events including Vans Warped Tour, Rockfest and Italy’s Subiaco Rock & Blues Festival, while sharing stages with artists including All Time Low, Shinedown and Puddle of Mudd.

​

Every show is different, but the goal remains the same: break the wall between the band and the crowd and make everyone part of the moment.

​

OUR MUSIC

Third Place’s catalogue reflects a band that has never stopped evolving.

​

The album Lifeland, produced by Glen Robinson, and the EP Rise of Chaos, produced by Luc Tellier, helped shape a sound built around big melodies, rock energy, theatrical storytelling and emotional tension. Rise of Chaos also began exploring a more conceptual approach to music — characters, ideas and songs connected by a larger universe.

​

More recently, Third Place released Out of My Mind, followed by a French-language version for its francophone audience. The single received radio airplay and marked the beginning of another creative evolution for the band.

​

OUR MESSAGE

Behind the riffs, the characters and the chaos, Third Place has always been about what happens when people stop pretending everything is fine.

​

Anxiety, identity, isolation, resilience and the need to escape have found their way into the band’s music from the beginning. The songs became a way to say out loud what often stays buried — and to create a place where people could recognize a little of themselves in someone else.

​

OUR TRIBE

That connection gave birth to the Twisted Puppets — the people who found Third Place through the music, the shows and the shared feeling of not always fitting neatly into the world around them.

​

It was never about being perfect. It was about finding freedom in the noise.

​

OUR NEXT CHAPTER

In 2027, Third Place begins a new era.

​

The band is developing a new rock-opera project told through a series of interconnected singles, where characters, stories and themes will evolve from one release to the next.

​

The first single, planned for early 2027, will open the door to this new universe — one designed to grow beyond the music and become part of the next evolution of The Psycho Show on stage.

​

Rather than a single release followed by another, each song will become another piece of the story.

​

A new chapter is about to begin.​

Twisted Puppets, get ready!
