The D'Urbervilles are a Canadian indie rock band from Guelph, Ontario. The band consists of Tim Bruton (guitar/synth), Kyle Donnelly (bass), John O'Regan (lead vocals/guitar/keyboard) and Greg Santilly (drums). They play rock music that has elements of punk, dance, and art rock, and use multiple transitions and hooks rather than traditional verse/chorus song structures.
