HAPPY CANADA DAY!

Today is
Canada
Day

I thought I'd make a post for today, Canada Day, to show my patriotism:). Canada has an amazing music scene but i don't think it's very well known outside of the country. So I've decided to compile a list of my favourite Canadian bands. So if you're reading this, give these bands a listen.

Sam Roberts (he is a god of music, so I chose 3 of my favourite songs, but he has so many good ones! I saw him in concert in March and he was even better live:O)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l46wrY1Rk38 Them Kids

There are many more but I know this is already many more than anyone's actually going to listen to. The sad thing is alot of the Canadian music that does make it out of the country is absolute shit, (i.e. Avril Lavigne, Nickelback, Celine Dion).

Lol I posted way more than I intended so good job if you made it the whole way! Happy Canada Day!
