Hey everyone, HAPPY CANADA DAY! To celebrate, here are some of my favourite songs from the past year or so by Canadian artists:

The Acorn: Slippery When Wet from No Ghost
Born Ruffians: Retard Canard from Say It
Diamond Rings: All Yr Songs from Diamond Rings/PS I Love You Split 7"
Great Lake Swimmers: River's Edge from Lost Channels
The Hidden Cameras: Underage from Origin:Orphan
Japandroids: Art Czars from Art Czars 7"
Propagandhi: Dear Coach's Corner from Supporting Caste
Timber Timbre: We'll Find Out from Timber Timbre

...and The Thermals: Canada, they are not Canadian, but it’s a wicked song about Canada!

oh man

Aux.tv posted two exclusive acoustic performances by Born Ruffians' frontman Luke Lalonde. Lalonde performed two songs from Say It (which comes out today on Paper Bag Records!) around the Massey Hall area in Toronto... pretty wicked!

I saw Akron/Family four or five years ago with Final Fantasy, they are just so much fun live... lots of interaction with the audience and it remains as one of my favourite concerts to date. I have yet to Born Ruffians, but I heard they are very fun as well!

Akron/Family: Ed Is A Portal [wicked-cool song]
Akron/Family: Of All The Things [wicked-cool song]

Born Ruffians: Hummingbird [wicked-cool song]
