Big Wreck - Sober Soundgarden
Age Of Electric(Are they canadian?) - Yes, but I preferred Limblifter (side band started by one of the brother's)
Econoline Crush - Cheese techno-rock to the max.
Finger Eleven(still think their early work is awesome) - They were better when they still called themselves The Rainbow Butt Monkeys
Junkhouse - Awesome
Limblifter - See above
Moist - Just couldn't get into them, too wordy or something.
Rubber - no clue.

How about...

Pure
Sloan
King Cobb Steely
Grimskunk
The Headstones
SIANspheric

And... they're not obscure especially if you're north of the border but Tragically Hip, yay / nay?

Pure- The only thing I remember about them is their single "Chocolate Bar"
Sloan- I always disliked Sloan.
King Cobb Steely- Never heard of them
Grimskunk- Never heard of them
The Headstones- Loved this band
SIANspheric- Never checkedd them out

I LOVE The Tragicaly Hip.

What about these
Matthew Good Band- Saw them live in like 1999 or 2000 and it was an awesome show.
Wide Mouth Mason- Always hated them, but they were pretty popular for awhile.
big sugar
bran van 3000
the gandharvas

Dudes I gotta say I'm digging the Canadiana angle here hahaha

Pure was fun, I'm surprised you don't remember Anna (was a speed freak).

Sloan annoyed me until I caught them at a festival gig and they turned out to be a super highlight.

Grimskunk was based out of Quebec, pyschedelic stoner rock before it was called that, then they turned more nu-metal and had a minor hit with a tune called Silverhead.

SIANspheric is the best shoegaze band ever ignored by the masses.

As for your recent ones...

Matthew Good - could never stand. I remember liking Apparition and Everything is Automatic back in the day but that was it.

WMM - Same as Moist. They weren't a bad band but there was something missing for me.

Big Sugar - I liked their early stuff and still own Hemi-Vision. Johnson is still touring under the name Grady and apparently will pull out Joe Louis live.

Bran Van 3000 - Their debut, Glee, is one of the most underrated and under appreciated Beck styled mishmash of every musical style a producer could get their hands on and shape into a disc.

The Gandharvas - One of my personal favourites, they remind me of Jane's Addiction without sounding like a ripoff. The first album is kind of weak but the follow-up Kicking In The Water is a must if you enjoy the band. Their last disc Sold for a Smile is more reminiscent of the Pixies but still quite good.

and finally THE HIP - They're one of those bands that I really don't mind hearing on the radio but I can't bring myself to listening to a full album.

Bastard - can't comment because I honestly don't remember any of those. Then again I also stopped watching MuchMusic in late '98 when I moved away for school. LOVE that Killjoys video though

I remember all those, minus Rubber.

Yeah, AOE is Canadian.

I also remember when Finger Eleven were the Rainbow Butt Monkeys

They used to be called "Hairem Scarem". Not sure if that rings any bells. I liked the only single I've heard "Sunshine".

forgot when of the best in that list though:

Apparently, they are up to like Big Shiny Tunes 16 or something now. Damn I feel old.

BastardofYoung · 03-29-2012, 01:38 AM

King Cobb Steelie was not that bad,

Remember really liking this album:

full version of song:

BastardofYoung · 03-29-2012, 01:42 AM

Another kinda obscure band now:

not my favorite, but I do enjoy them to a degree.

Lead singer Thomas Anselmi was the vocalist previously in Vancouver Punk legends Slow

very different bands.

But yeah, Copyright (aka Circle C) were kinda cool for a time to me.

Yeah, for Canadian bands I like old Punk and Metal bands more than I do the Alt-Rock bands from the 90's.
