Canadian "indie" bands
Vertical Stripes:
I can't vote. @_@ It's too hard. My brain can't handle the decision.
El Opium:
This poll totally gyps anyone who likes the remotely experimental stuff. Were are Godspeed, The Unicorns and maybe Do Make Say think. Though my fave Canadians right now are probably Fly Pan Am, Tim Hecker and Les Georges Leningrad but none of them really have enough recognition to be considered as a top Canadian band.
Marslo:
... anything out of montreal i guess. GY!BE, unicornes, (thecnicly) Do make say think, the stills, arcade of fire.
Also will where at it, i just wanna mention that your american press is totaly fucked. When they mentioned montreal as being the new indie hot spot, saying a well, that its only the english bands, down here, who dominate. Im sorry, its not like we dont care about being the only french speaking province on this continent. Im sure as well that the fact, that are local french band Les Cowboys Friangants, playing sold out show twice, at the Paris football stadium, whit out even selling a single record in France, is not a figment of are imagination. As well, maybe you havent noticed but some of Arcade of Fire songs are in french and that 3 guys from the Stills are french-canadians. Then again is should be suprised, for when Brel played in New York. The press immadiatly saided that he was total crap.
Anyway i know at least, that all this will become handy, when i run out of toilet paper.
Burninated Peasant:
We may need to make a "Canadian Indie Band Poll 2.0" with all the suggestions that have popped up for bands that were excluded from the list. I picked Broken Social Scene in the poll, but if it had been available I would have picked GYBE hands down.
rynne:
Arcade Fire wins for me, though Stars comes in a close second.
