Thread change to Canada bands that America needs more of.

SLOAN. Otherwise known as Canada's Beatles due to their production rate and quality.



Fav Sam Roberts song (can't believe this was shoved to the end of his last album):

What about July Talk? Do many Canadians listen to them?
Rudager, who lives in Canada, told me about them, and I love their music.

never heard of them


but if you guys want some Canadian music, then The Tragically Hip is the epitome.
I cant listen to them without remembering riding in the boat at the cottage when i was younger. my uncle would play them in the boat's cassette player. i will never forget that.

I get a lot of Canadian stations living where I do and I've decided that Canada is a step ahead of America on the cool music factor. Or I just haven't listened to the radio in a long time...which is true

July Talk is quite indie I would say. Saw them a few months ago warming up for Matt Mays and they were awesome. Stage chemistry between the lead singers made the show.

People still have pretty terrible taste in general here. Sloan, Sam Roberts, Hip are all well known but I wouldn't call them "popular". I've been at free Sloan shows with only 50 other people. They do well but not amazingly so. Sam does better because he is a damn good looking man.

It's different, but really good in my opinion. From what Mason (Rudager) told me, they're a Canadian band.

Screw it. I'm just gonna post great canadian bands











pour le quebecois:






Sorry that's a lot of music, I'm just way to excited about canadian bands. I'm a firm believer that plenty of the best music in the world is coming out of here.

Sheepdogs!





Mounties



K-OS



To add to the Sloan list:






I remember back in grade 6 every morning my alarm would go off to Hardroad on my local station. They almost always played that song at that exact time. Grade 6 was a good grade.
