[jessiestg]

so in 2009 i first saw this video. i was looking for some new music and saw the first group.. tegan and sara. immediately i thought they were hot and began searching and listening to more of their music. i fell in love and began an obsession. then on feb. 23, 2010 i got the chance to meet and talk to tegan and sara. i touched sara quin. omg.

just to let you know, it's because of you and this video that i was able to discover them and fall in love. thank you kind sir, thank you :]

[jessicaanimal]

fark i hate all these dudes that make these videos that are all the same, always cuting between sceens, and talking exactly the same. are you a male, farking technology is killing manly ness, go out and farking fight something.

[Shep11111]

@jessicaanimal what r u talking about seriously? You want dudes to fight each other and post it on youtube so they seem more manly and you can get wet? The video reads canadian indie music. Please elaborate on how technology, (i guess you only mean youtube)is killing manliness?

[LazloPetti]

[BehindTheSea29]

sorry, about my other comment. That was my friend and she didn't watch the other video first haha, we're just massive Arcade Fire fans

[snowleopard772]

I totally didn't know you where featured..

[snowleopard772]

[Yesroelle]

[PETERRABBlTT]

CANADIAN Indie IS OKAY

BUT America WINS BECAUSE OF

Voxtrot

[tortor156]

I love Noah and the Whale so much!!!

[BehindTheSea29]

what about arcade fire

[snowleopard772]

@BehindTheSea29 that was in his other video for canadian indie music!

[rzGameDev]

how about, when you upload videos you make them in stereo instead of switching to mono when the music videos play.

[RedPopIceCream]

[XionXIVKingdomHearts]

TEGAN AND SARA :D

[ohxmyxsirius]

You should have City and Colour

[TheMeaghanlank]

[shmeedia]

we have SO much talent in canada, your list would be neverending.

[ouchmypouch]

You most likely know The Weakerthans. They are an amazing lyric concentrated band I got into a few years ago.

[Kayenne54]

Also, for some peculiar reason, I always (mostly) just love Canadian music...there's just something - individual - about the artists.

[Kayenne54]

Ok I like Indie music. ( I'm really old.) So explain to me what does it mean "Indie"??

Thanks, kids - or whoever answers.....lol.

[newberrypatrick]

@Kayenne54 In popular music, independent music, often shortened to indie music or "indie", is a term used to describe independence from major commercial record labels and an autonomous, Do-It-Yourself approach to recording and publishing.

Independent labels have been known to strive for minimal influence on the artist they represent, avoiding the artist-cultivating behavior of many major labels. wikipedia

[Kayenne54]

@newberrypatrick

Ah. Of course. Thank you very much. Also explains why I like it! (even at my advanced age! or maybe because of it! Cut my musical teeth on the music of the sixties... which was very "out there" at the time!)

I love the variety and innovation, not to mention the basics of this kind of music...

Thanks newberrypatrick...

[newberrypatrick]

@Kayenne54 no worries. haha 60 music is great man, love it. when ever you have a minute check out some of my music. i've posted several originals on my youtube channel. ciao

[moviefreakjj]

I also noticed people started defending Nickleback. What the FUCK...?

[lynnd218]

check out our new original on my homepage. we are from canada too

[Hamachingo]

You forgot Noobie Noobinson. A weird, yet awesome mixture of funk, metal and some spacey electronica.

[dollivaj]

=) lol

[CognosSquare]

Its "Jenn" Grant in the video and not "Jen"

[drjekyllsisterhyde]

Amazing. I'm from England, and love Emily Haines & The Soft Skeleton, Owen Pallett, Feist, Metric, Forest City Lovers, not heard of the rest though - do keep blogging!

[martyman5000]

Great vid...you can find most if not all these bands on CBC3 : )

[Thorbjoerne]

Thank You for sharing all this lovely Canadian music on the web like this...

Please forgive my unawarness (i am Swedish) ..but why dont You consider Montreal as a Canadian part of Your Country...because they speak an ununderstandable language...or have different food habits...(frog-legs and snails...*lol*)??

[christianwise]

[dancapelle]

Does anyone like Crystal Castles? They aren't rock like many of these bands, but their next album is surely one of the most anticipated albums from a Canadian group for 2010.

[YourFriendInABox]

I do.

[SoWeirdBoy]

[Obito313]

[uknowcurt]

Canadian music beats American music by a long shot ( in my opinion.)

[RockinKShady]

Hey I don't know any good Canadian bands, can you tell me about any of them. Plus, there are some pretty cool bands in america like electric touch, Love is chemicals, My first earthquake. Metric. there's tons. but if you could tell me some sweet canadian bands that would be cool.

[InvaderZimFan101]

check out Arcade Fire they are the best. Wake up by Arcade Fire.

thats my favorite check them out

[explosivrice]

and rebellion (lies)

[InvaderZimFan101]

yep another good one

[saywhatyousay]

@RockinKShady Actually, Metric is Canadian. :) He mentions Emily Haines in this video, but the song that he chose is from Emily Haines & The Soft Skeleton. She is also in Metric, as well as Broken Social Scene.

[RockinKShady]

sorry bout that. totally didn't know didn't mean to sound like an idiot.

[saywhatyousay]

@RockinKShady No worries! Just letting you know that you DO, indeed know some good Canadian music already! :)

[LIQUIDNULL]

[nekochan706]

Hey! I am from that area! Do you of a know the little town Armstrong? It's a hour away.

[nafunkdegroove]

i am not canadian but i am definitely indie because you find my songs only on youtube.. ohh no!!

watch:

"Animals' right to dance" for a dance song or

"i like to treat you bad nafunk degroove" for a pop song

[oh1canada]

i dig the shit out of all of these bands

[zuugey]

very good choice of music!!! :3

[NewWorldOrder7777]

SKINNY PUPPY the best canadian band ever and my favorite one too.

Its industrial music by the way.

[karmadee888]

Check out "Hey Ocean!"

There's a lot of music that I've been missing out on. Thanks for sharing!

[chrissept21]

whats roong with nickelback

your dumb

[TheBassguitarking]

no talent, no style, no innovation, no looks, no voice, too much repitition, too much crap...

[chrissept21]

as for the no talent and no style thats just dumb, no looks i dont no imma guy but they look decent enough and i like there jeans lol, chad is a great singer an too much repitition thats crazy, did you hear "gotta be somebody" and then "burned it to the grownd" no i dont thing there the same song

and as for crap its great music there rockers, not fucking dumb eyeliner guys who cant sing for shit

[TheBassguitarking]

look, you asked whats wrong with them, i told you. i listen to classic rock and 90s so i listen to the sound they copy off of, i've heard about four nickelback songs where i cant distinguish from one another. there is also video's of them leaving sttage after playing two songs, so they arent great rockers. they are the epitome of corporate run crap, a guy in a suit making millions tells them what to play. the only thing they have to do is actually play it.

[Bizzangle]

First of all,this guy is really funny, charming and very cute <3 moving right along. OK..here's the skinny: Slim Twig! OH! jus kidding. So.

Tegan and Sarah are gay in multiple ways. Their music is just...contrived

Tokyo Police Club??? Dave Monk sounds like Billie Joe Williams for fuck's sake

Slim Twig is kind of neat and morbid looking in a pubescent Nick Cave kind of way. Laura Barret is beeeeeyoutifull and so is her music. I just HOPE TO GOD there are lenses in those frames.

I'll be back

[twoscoopsunday]

i like your descriptions although i dont' think dave monks sounds like billie joe armstrong and i like tegan and sara, laura barrett is amazing! slim twig is cool too, i met him once and he's weird but i like his music.

[ButtUglyParakeet]

I also thought that said the whale is a great band if anyone wants to check them out, great canadian indie band

[ButtUglyParakeet]

Great recommendations, im really enjoying lots of these artists. I have been needing some new music.

[MrGeo00]

Nice recommendations. I am just getting into indie music and these suggestions are cool.

[DaFistPs3Dude4LIFE]

[Lemmons2]

[Bosnia23U]

Why do Canadians hate Nickelback??

[kombat420wombat]

cuz they fucking suck!!

theory-of-a nickle-creed  style music is a fucking

sad ass abomination born from the musical lusts of trailertrash and hillbillys. thats why.

[Bosnia23U]

oh ok

[billytheskidnote]

because they write formulaic pop rock turds

[nicoleisright]
