Bonjour Brumaire was a francophone indie pop band based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Its members were Youri Zaragoza (vocals, guitar), Nathan Howard (guitar, vocals), Francois Lessard (drums), Karine Novelle (keyboards, vocals), Béatrice Martin (keyboards, vocals), Patrick Brownson (keyboards, vocals), Mathieu Dumontier (bass guitar, vocals) and Jordan Larocque (bass guitar, vocals).

Formed in January 2007, the band recorded its first demo with producer Ryan Battistuzzi (Malajube, Les Breastfeeders) only 3 months after the members first met. They played their first show in June and, in November, went into the studio for five months to record their album, De La Nature Des Foules. It was released on April 1, 2008, on Indica Records.{{cite web |title=Bonjour Brumaire – De La Nature Des Foules |url=https://www.discogs.com/master/958029-Bonjour-Brumaire-De-La-Nature-Des-Foules |website=discogs.com |publisher=Discogs |access-date=10 April 2022}}
