[almostfallen2]

do you not like broken social scene?just a question

[deadchildstar]

METRIC hellooooo

[Switch344]

@deadchildstar not indie...

[deadchildstar]

@Switch344 um, maybe not right now because they're a lot more popular, but how can you say they're not an indie band.

[FluXez00]

@deadchildstar Metric falls under the Canadian alternative and new wave category.

[cclbrules]

Is my prize another check from the government? I hear you dont get those if you dont live in Alberta haha :)

[hokaymeng]

It seems silly that Metric isn't on this list....

[yogabba80]

All great bands....Of Montreal??? Sorry dude not canadian. Athens Georgia is the home of that band (they are phenominal)!

[blueprinttothebeastM]

attack in black?????? TPC?? THE ORGAN!! THE GREAT LAKE SWIMMERS???

FUCKING DEATH FROM ABOVE 1979 U FORGOT THESE GUYS!!

[rikiricochet]

nickleback is canadian?! 

[hazzle34]

Check out indie folk artist Donovan Woods.

[iwishihadanaccent]

i saw feist live a couple of years ago and she was AMAZING!!!

[2332lj]

No Broken Social Scene? :( Yay Feist and Stars!

[2332lj]

No Broken Social Scene? :(

[cclbrules]

you've obviously never been to Alberta. You Eastern Canadians have a horrible taste in Music. Like Feist is the single worst singer ive ever heard! I would personally listen to Nickleback over any of the bands mentioned (except Arcade Fire).

[antirepublican123]

@cclbrules lol typical retarded albertan!!!! go play in the oilsands

[cclbrules]

@antirepublican123 Think ill just go roll around in my wealth. the same wealth that is holding Canadas economy steady, dont even bother replying until you can contain your ignorance.

[antirepublican123]

@cclbrules that was pretty good. now bend over n collect ur prize

[SRHALIFAX]

You're from St John's! Hello over there.

[SRHALIFAX]

[canascot02]

[snowleopard772]

[Yesroelle]

i have to add that you remind me in JD from scrubs in some ridiculous way.

[ModestPlacebo]

[TheCoffeinjunkie]

NEW VIDEO!!!!!

youtube.com/watch?v=vaWZetBfx9­o

[afaintline]

I'M GOING TO SEE HEY ROSETTA LATER THIS MONTH.

I'm ridiculously excited.

[GeGeMus12]

wtf all the hating on Nickelback. They brought Canadian music to the world map son! Nickelback is a legend, a Canadian gem if I must say so myself. Also you forgot to mention Simple Plan, Avril Lavigne, Hedley, and Alexisonfire!

[canascot02]

@GeGeMus12 bleh bleh bleh yuck yuck yuck. They all suck large asian schlong. We need the world to see our tallent, not our lip syncing.

[cclbrules]

@GeGeMus12 i agree with you bud, but none of those bands are "indie" bands

[BehindTheSea29]

yeah arcade fire!

[AnneAnnalynn]

uuhi feel very adventurous today any guys want to have an adventure

[Whatdongever]

ur cute

[theridgesmusic]

Support Canadian music, visit theridgesmusic

[nataphonic]

great music!

[lynnd218]

we are a canadian indie band and just posted our new song. we are Canadian :)

[gabekoa]

[gabekoa]

do they have rosetta stone for canadian? and ew... nickelback...

[APiceOfPie]

alexisonfire is one of my fav from Canada

[MelanieDupuis]

you made me laugh, very original! I loved it lol. When I feel crappy I watch your videos..they crack me up each time lol...thanks!

[RichardBaartman]

I'm seeing Stars and Hey Rosetta! next week! woohoo!

good taste in music btw

[rowanhebert]

Jorgecarillo2

In the Feist song she was repeating the word "Sealion"

To all the people pissed that he didn't mention your favourite (that's right I'm also Canadian, I spell favourite with a U) Canadian artists it's probably because they aren't Indie. A good friend of mine used to date Emily Haines (of Metric and Broken Social Scene) and I'm fucking proud!

[DemetriaNoel]

yes. thank you, this was a year ago, but still brilliant.

[toxicsugar1]

hahaha your fuckin awesome !

[GacktsVanillaGirl1]

Metric is from Canada, right? I love them. There are some really great groups in this video...and volume 2

[chadxinc]

Only do what I'm told, only know what I'm told.

[jessiestg]

NO NICKELBACK FTW!

a friend and i were just having a conversation today about how bad they are :]

and i am more than surprised that you didn't mention tegan & sara! i mean they're legendary!

[YourFriendInABox]

Check my other video!

[jessiestg]

whew!

cool :]

[raythelaw]

@jessiestg

You are saving people's music souls here.

[whateevs]

i so stoked that you mentioned hawksley workman. and hey rosetta! omg you have such fuicking good taste.

[mikhamfilmsuper]

corny music.you campare this shit to celine dion. a legend?

i'm greek and i'm not canadian but i think that canadians should be proud of artists like celeine dion, paul anka, shania twain, avril,etc

[michellesguy]

Fana 406 you suck. go home. just. be gone child.

[TheTooeasy]

The New Pornographers is awesome

[InvaderZimFan101]

ARCADE FIRE!!!!! WOOOOOOO!!!!!!

[SimplyDoomed]

I'm going to take a kayak over to Canada and see these bands. :S

[fana406]

um, how about no thanks?

yeah, no thanks.

that would complete the annoying "thank you's" you gave us.

[PcaKestheaod]

YOU'RE A FELLOW NEWFIE!

I gave this a 1 because there just aren't enough good rock bands there. I realize i was to quick to do this though.

[gordini90]

Man, canadian indie, best music out there. I recommend that fans subscribe to the cbc radio 3 sessions on itunes. Also, Hey Rosetta is definitely my favourite band of all time. If you get a chance to see them live, take it.

[jameslikesstuf]

lol does anyone like nickelback??

[jorgecarrillo2]

in feist song, there is a word that sound like "syllah" or soomthing like that, I am not native english speaker, but I am sure that such a song wont be very heard in spanish world, because that word repeated any times sounds liks spanish "Axila" thaat means armpit. lol

[baakal01]

Awesome! Thanks for the new music.

[butuw]

you kinda look like that guy from hsm... i've forgotten his name but he's the brother from ashley tisdale

[TabbyAngel2]

[GeGeMus12]

[TheSourDieselToad]

[thear675]

GeGeMus12 is as exact definition of a big fuckin' loser

[GeGeMus12]

Yeah nice comeback. You're probably the same guy with a different account and you know you are a poser.

[thear675]

lol why would he make a different account to insult u? judging by ur 6 thumbs down, ur generally disliked, so why don't you just go hang yourself.

[ExiLyx]

GOOD FOR YOU.

Indie music for the WIN. <3

[shokoshika]

Oh my God! you´re so damn hOt! but I´m not going to say the obvious... i love all those bands you mentioned! Canada rOckz!... what about Montag from Quebec? I saw him here in my country like 3 years ago but I think he´s not that famous yet...

[tonjesml]

Damn you Canadians with your awesome music.

[blktiger92]

Yea i liked almost none of these videos (of montreal and Hey rosetta being the exceptions) I don't know, the rest of those guys werent good to me. But im still going to subscribe to you because you're funny and i want to be a friend in your box. Im trying so hard not to accept nickleback as the only canadian musicain but at least i like there music (i know, blashphemy right?) I do like thunderheist though...

[volnessj]

words cannot describe how much i love Feist.

My family doesn't understand it.

When i was listening to Sea Lion Woman in my car my family started yelling at me.

OMG I LOVE THE HIDDEN CAMERAS!

I found them through Short Bus.

[chacamangolia]

tokyo police club is a good canadian band from newmarket

[skullkidzzz]

dude ur super funny... but u got to make more funny videos! XD

[alexs1422]

Yes! Yes! Yes! (yay bad pun)

Atlantic Canada indie for the win. Hey Rosetta! are brilliant. If you havn't heard them already, give In-Flight Safety and Slowcoaster a spin

[NATAL1EALYSSA]

tokyo police club!

[TicTacSweets]

i didn't JUST subscribe so you would take your shirt off

but that is a plus =]

[knoose]

Its because youre hot as hell...

[lindibear]

Feist makes me want to burst my eardrums.

[giaboni]

i'd put in tokyo police club. but they're from my high school, so i may be biased =p

[FallenBeat266]

Check out Kisschasy. Theyre an aussie indie/rock band. Theyre super awesome!

[soniadepp27]

YAAAAYY REAL COWBOY BEARS!!!!!!

[cediemoran]

Dude, not sure if you've heard of them, but check out Boxer the Horse, they're from PEI. They've got some nice tunes.

"I want to be the rock that hits Chad Kroeger in the fuckin' head."

[notnotharrison]

kudos for having hey rosetta, but you're list is still relatively main stream in terms of "indie" bands in canada, try Immaculate Machine, The Ghost is Dancing, The Lovely Feathers, Caribou, and so much more.

[EsotericDoctrine]

No more nickel back lol.

metal fans be sure to check out Esoteric Doctrine.

[cttwii]

hahaha love this and love celine - love her coz shes crazy ha

[wiyam]

neil young? eric's trip? broken social scene? wolf parade?

[EchoBeowulf]

[vinceissoaddict]

OF MONTREAL!!!

gogo montréal continuez de faire de la bonne musique!

[stinkyfishermen]

NIEL YOUNG!!!

[jossdeaddoll]

you know why nickelback is so famous? because if you like one of their songs you have to like all of their songs because they're ALL the same!

[adm111490]

Your Ex-Lover is Dead in my favorite song in the WORLD!!! I love Stars!!

[jellis42493]

LONDON ONTARIO!! we love arts and crafts!!! fuck nickle back in there big stupid asses, its a shame the guy didnt get the "singing" part of his "brain" destroyed by that rock...

Arcade fire is lame, but the rest are good, also, your listing the most mainstream indie bands canada has to offer, go UNKNOWN OR GO HOME!!

final fantasy are ballR!

[fallofthefortress]

Fall of the fortress didn't make the list...I'm insulted. ha ha

[burganoo]

[airsunlight]

[madrugafrosh]

Wow, Wintersleep? Damn they are spreading fast, that is great to hear! They opened for my 'frosh' concert at Dal 4 years ago, and within a year or two I was hearing them on the radio in different provinces.

Canadian Indie music starts and ends, lives and dies, with Julie Doiron. New album just came out, check it out!

[polishpunk911]

broken social scene too/

[polishpunk911]

another awesome indie artist:

Jeremy Fisher

[polishpunk911]

[criptikclues]

no Dears????? The Decemberists?????? Broken Social Scene?????? I'm from the uk and they should have been on ur list....thats assuming being from the uk means anything in this context........it probably doesnt.......but stilll that was a naughty thing for you to do.......well not so much naughty as you probably would have done if you had more time.....HUZZAR!

[ilovelovexo]

The Decemberists, I believe aren't actually Canadian, I think they're American, but we can forgive them because they are AMAZING!!! :)

[ShayShaySeptember]

Indie=life
