I'll be sure to check them out, thanks

Pretty sure that's them. You can tell by the bassline and how it's one note.
Odd how the band sounds better online. Probably the only band I've ever encountered that's better through headphones than live on stage. I was there with Tommy and we had different reactions, to say the least.

I'm with Tommy on this one. I thought they did a really great job. But they're certainly pretty new. Wasn't there a comment at some point during their set about how it was their first show?

If that is the band in the youtube clip that Tommy posted, I strongly disagree.
Nodaisho:
I've never really started using Last.fm, so I can't really tell by that, but I'm pretty sure my music first comes from the US, then the UK, then I have no idea. Probably because of how much metal I listen to, and how little of it is the grim frostbitten black metal that broods in the dark hinterlands of Scandinavia.
The Cheesinator:
From Last.fm top 100:
United States: 48
Canada: 21
United Kingdom: 12
Australia: 6
New Zealand: 3
Sweden: 3
France: 3
Brazil: 3
Spain: 1
So, despite living in Canada, my tastes are dominated by American bands. Probably because of the larger population base from which talented individuals may emerge and assemble to form groups, the American music blogs I often peruse, the best jazz being American, being bombarded by American media/culture (Canadian culture, are you out there?) each and every day, etc. But still a good showing from the Commonwealth overall. Interestingly, "Canadian" is a tag that pops up on Last.fm, whereas "American" does not.
As some folks have said, the country from which the band/artist isn't necessarily crucial to (my) enjoyment of their output, but it certainly provides a better understanding of the artist's social roots, and all that.
StaedlerMars:
Don't Canadian radio stations have a quota to fill that they have to play like three or four canadian songs an hour?
