Toronto

3 peoples: one ukelele, one guitar, and more than one drum come together from other places and make some bang up indie pop with extremely cool experimental vocal harmonies and driving rhythms. If you haven't heard these cats yet you will... or if you won't you should... or just listen already! Aren't you tired of reading my ramblings?

Baroque pop supergroup (19 members): utterly creative and beautiful. Download their entire 2005 self titled album free here in real media format courtesy of Arts & Crafts.

urgent music with a message - tries to avoid gangsta rap clichés and posturing - vocal style comparable to Eminem - you think you know hardcore? - K'Naan, a Somali, knows hardcore

some more friggin' rockin' canucks - so much good stuff coming from the great white north these days - high energy

These guys are a bunch of rockers, friggin Canucks, caught them at the Casbah in San Diego - quite good live, rang my ears
