Canadian "indie" bands

Johnny C:
I voted for Metric, actually, and I still don't think I threw my vote away. I hear they frickin' rock live.

Actually, Canadian indie bands get a lot more exposure abroad. Do you know that the Arcade Fire actually CHARTED A SINGLE in the UK? Yet very little here at home, despite how much attention they get internationally - especially in the indie community - they're barely known of. It's an epidemic, I tells ya, and there was a discussion about it somewhere else on the forum but I'm too lazy to look it up.

tigerlily:
I voted Stars, but pretty much all of those bands could place number one.

Constantines are bloody awesome too, touring with The Weakerthans soon. Tres good!!!

jeph:
Man that new Hot Hot Heat record is six kinds of weak.

Duncan Sasquatch:
I'm going to pick The Weakerthans for sure. I'm obsessed with them. My favourite band.

But honourable mentions for me go to The Arcade Fire and The New Pornographers - they're both pretty awesome. I didn't realise Hot Hot Heat were Canadian, though that may explain why I find their songs so oddly appealing...there's something about them Canadians.

I should probably check out a few of the bands mentioned here, as some are new to me!

Skibas_clavicle:
That was the fucking hardest pole I've ever had to take.
GOD BLESS CANADIA :)

EDIT: Jeph, I wholeheartedly agree. OUCH.
