This post is for all this wonderful Canadian Bands out there and thats why its written in English! So, where to start? Tonight I listend to Tokyo Police Club and thought about writing a post of them, how wonderful they are, where they come from and so on. I realized, that I listen to so much bands, which are from Canada. So I decided to write this few sentences to dedicate this post all those great Canadian bands out there.
So, starting with Tokyo Police Club. Its been one and a half year since their debut EP "A Lesson in Crime" that they released their album "Elephant Shell". I like this off beats this roughness in all of their songs. I think they lost something of that on the debut album. Well, some might say, that they grew up, that they developed their sound but I think that this is a pitty. Nevertheless, their debut is great! Songs like "Your English Is Good", "Juno", "In A Cave" and so on are amazing! Listen to their MySpace Site, to convince yourself!
Tip: Nature Of The Experiment, Juno, Your English Is Good
The next band I want to mention is from Calgary, Alberta in Canada. Its Tegan and Sara. Wow. As I listend first to them I was mesmerized. I listend to "Back In Your Head". Their greatest song of their fifth album "The Con". Tegan and Sara are two twins and started making music in school. They do such an refreshing sound, but don't forget to be dumpish at the right moment. I think, that their fourth album "So Jealous" is their best one. But listen for yourself, for example here, or go to LastFM and search them.

Lets travel on and go to Montreal, Quebec. The Stars!, originally from Toronto, but decided to move to Montreal. This five piece band released their fourth album "In Our Bedroom After The War" in 2007. They play catchy indie pop with view electronic elements. The best songs on their new album are, for me, "The Night Starts Here", "Take Me To The Riot" and "Bitches In Tokyo". Take a breath of their sound on the bands MySpace Site and tell me if you like this kind of pop music.
Tip: Take Me To The Riot, The Night Starts Here, Bitches In Tokyo, Set Yourself On Fire
Move on to Toronto and Broken Social Scene. It is a music project and currently includes nineteen members. Wheras all of them excluding founders Kevin Drew, Brendan Canning and drummer Justin Peroff play in other bands. Their music can be described as experimental indie rock with few folk elements, i think. They released three full albums and a lot of EPs. In my opinion, the best song on the latest album "Broken Social Scene" is "Swimmers". You should listen to it, for example here. Brendan Canning will release his SoloAlbum in July. You can also listen to his song "Hit the Wall", which is a great ripply guitar song with a lot of power at the bands MySpace Site.
Tip: Hit the wall, Swimmers, Safety Bricks
My last post will be about Metric. The band was founded in New York but moved to Toronto later on. The bands sound can be described with only one word: Rock. Rock with a lot of speed, catchy refrains and a great vocalist. Emily Haines has the perfect voice to do some rock! They released three albums and three EPs so far. Their latest album is called "Grow Up and Blow Away" and it was released in 2007. You can listen to their 2003 released debut "Old World Underground, where are you now" at the bands homepage, here. You can also listen to a few songs on their MySpace Site and I recommend you to listen to "Monster Hospital", "Empty" and "Dead Disco".
Tip: Monster Hospital, Empty, Dead Disco, Live It Out
Thats it. There are a lot good canadian bands out there and I only mentioned five of them. So move out and discover the canadian music scene! And let me know if there is something really good out there which I haven't recognized so far!
