The Unicorns were a band formed in Canada in the early 2000s by Alden Penner and Nick Thorburn. They broke up and it sucks.

After The Unicorns Split, Nick and drummer Jamie Thompson were briefly a part of a hip-hop collective known as Th'Corn Gangg. As far as I can tell, it was an experimental dumping ground for post-Unicorns remixes and pre-Islands demoes.

Nick went on to form the bands Islands, Human Highway, Mister Heavenly and Reefer, as well as put out solo material.

Alden has been a lot more low-profile than his subsequent bandmate. He fronted the short-lived (but still incredible) band Clues from 2007-2010, releasing only one album. Other than that, he has put out two solo EPs as well as soundtracks for the films The Hamster Cage and Paper Heart. Currently he fronts the band The Hidden Words, but they have yet to put out an official release.

(I am currently missing Alden's Soundtrack to the film The Hamster Cage, as well as anything from his pre-Unicorns band Poor Alexander. If you have either of these and you're willing to share you can shoot me an email! I will be eternally grateful).
