A song by Quebec rock duo Angine de Poitrine is reaching millions of NFL fans after being featured in a league TikTok video. The Saguenay-based band's track "Fabienk" was part of a social media campaign counting down 50 days to the NFL season kickoff. The video included players like quarterbacks Jaxson Dart and Brock Purdy, and receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, dancing to the music. The NFL captioned the post, "Hang in there, we’re almost back." This exposure comes amid a whirlwind period for the band, who famously claim to be 333-year-old aliens. Earlier in July, they opened for Jack White in Toronto before headlining their own shows in the city. Their global tour has included dates in the U.S., Japan, the Netherlands, and the U.K. In June, their free performance at the Montreal Jazz Festival set attendance records, drawing tens of thousands. Angine de Poitrine also received the Global Breakthrough Award at the Billboard Canada Power Players 2026 event.
Hang in there, we’re almost back.
