History
The duo formed while attending high school in Montreal as a hardcore pop-punk band, but later decided to move on to electronic dance music after getting bored with the pop-punk sound and finding success with a dubstep remix of "Daisy" by American alternative-rock Brand New.{{Cite web |url=https://www.allaccess.com/dance/10-questions/archive/19159/10-questions-with-adventure-club |title=Adventure Club - Dance/EDM 10 Questions |date=2014-06-03 |website=All Access |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180412103121/https://www.allaccess.com/dance/10-questions/archive/19159/10-questions-with-adventure-club |archive-date=2018-04-12 |url-status=live |access-date=2018-04-12}}{{Cite web |url=https://www.axs.com/from-pop-punk-to-dubstep-adventure-club-will-take-you-for-a-ride-11424 |title=From pop punk to dubstep: Adventure Club will take you for a ride |last=Pyror |first=Terrance |date=2014-03-31 |website=AXS |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180412103830/https://www.axs.com/from-pop-punk-to-dubstep-adventure-club-will-take-you-for-a-ride-11424 |archive-date=2018-04-12 |url-status=live |access-date=2018-04-12}}
