Biography
The Hidden Cameras are a Canadian indie pop band formed in Toronto in 2001, fronted by singer-songwriter Joel Gibb. Built around a varying roster of musicians, choirs and string players, the group plays what Gibb called gay church folk music, pairing chamber pop arrangements with explicit, celebratory lyrics about sexuality and freedom.
