Honestly, this sounds very similar to the early Fall Out Boy I posted earlier in this thread with a keyboard thrown in...

how big was The Hip before they went to Europe? or the Tea Party before they went to Australia? the problem with Canadian musical culture is twofold. on one hand you've got the CRTC trying to legislate culture which will always inevitably FAIL. turn on the radio for proof of this - broadcasters are legally required to play X% Canadian content per Y time period for Z license. it results in cookie cutter formulaic aural tripe at just about every turn. makes sense though, what's the lowest risk for a broadcaster? unproven talent or another connect the dots hit single? the other problem is the self-defeating nature of most Canadians. we don't think we're 'that' good for the most part so we tend to not believe our homegrown stuff is that good (aside from weed), until it proves itself in another market. @Dayvan - you say you're from NB, into experimental and post-rock stuff. ever heard of 'Les Paiens'? their last 2 albums are comparable to Tortoise and they played the Montreal Jazz Festival last year on their more 'experimental' stage. this is a nationally recognized experimental, post-rock, jazzy band, from. your. back. yard. sorry to single you out for the example but it applies across the country. people look outward instead of finding out what's happening in their areas. THAT is the biggest problem with Canadian music. now for my own current unpopular musical opinion... playing plastic instruments in Rockband / Guitar Hero is significantly more fun than organizing a 'real' weekly band practice.
