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?

grrrl with a farkin piercing voice makes up for a poppier sound than I prefer in my punk rock, so it's not complete crap - takes punk in new directions which I like very much - who said "punks dead?" - stream the entire Anthologie Des 3 Perchoirs Album here

Unique wailing vocals that remind me of Native American chants. Anthem rock with elaborate arrangements featuring huge arrays of musicians. Their debut album funeral was arguably the best indie release of 2004.

Bent By Elephants’s debut full-length album This is Water was engineered at Breakglass Studios by Jace Lasek (Besnard Lakes, Patrick Watson, Land of Talk) and was self-released in May 2010. The album’s eleven tracks were recorded live-off-the-floor in only four days. The results capture the dynamic energy of the band’s “spontaneous and compelling” live performance (midnightpoutine.ca).

Yet another wonderful band of Canucks. Beautifully layered indie rock delivered to us as if a live performance thanks to the good folks at daytrotter. Indeed, the bottoms of my pant legs are burning.
