July 16, 201015 yr Any fans of this Montreal based band? Their lead singer Liz Powell has contributed to Broken Social Scene. Fantastic band. New album coming out soon too!

July 16, 201015 yr Author *thinks* Nope. :P I don't even know what she has done with them. Not too much though, I was just using that to get people's attention. Check out Some Are Lakes. That song completely floored me first listen.
July 16, 201015 yr I check out all the bands you recommend these days Briggs. Seriously, one-third, if not more, of all the music ive got this year is Canadian. I'll definitely take a look.
July 16, 201015 yr Author Awesome! I just think it is lame how Pitchfork/Rolling Stone/NME etc. only ever focus on the same Canadian bands when there are so many Canadian bands and albums that fly under the radar but are better. Like Zeus. I don't get how more people haven't picked up on them!
July 16, 201015 yr Author I'll try! haha Also check out anything short listed for the Polaris. usually good stuff. I saw the Besnard Lakes in Quebec City two nights ago and was blown away. Had never listened to them before but went since I had a pass and because they were Polaris nominated. I'm torn this year. So many good albums nominated.
July 16, 201015 yr I saw them open for The Decemberists a zillion years ago. They were pretty good, but I haven't really followed them ever since. Guess I should catch up. :nice:
