Len (band)


Len is a Canadian alternative rock duo based in Toronto, Ontario. The band consists of siblings Marc Costanzo and Sharon Costanzo and a revolving lineup of touring and studio musicians.

History

Len was formed in 1991 in Toronto as a punk band. Switching to mainly rock and pop music, over the next several years they released two albums, an EP and several singles on Funtrip Records, including 1995's "Candy Pop".
Len released a more hip-hop oriented album, You Can't Stop the Bum Rush in 1999; a song from the album, "Steal My Sunshine", was also released that year, and climbed the popular charts both in Canada and the United States. Len was nominated for a 2000 Juno Award as best new group, and the album was nominated as Best Alternative Album.
At one point, the band's lineup included Brendan Canning, who co-founded the indie rock band Broken Social Scene shortly after leaving Len.
Len produced no further hits, but continued to release albums until 2005, followed by a seven-year hiatus.
The group became active again in 2011. The following year the group released a music video, "It's My Neighbourhood", and an album It's Easy if You Try.
