Welcome to another edition of PRESENT BOX FROM CANADA brought to you by Tiana from Ride the Tempo where we bring you 10 Canadian tracks you otherwise might not have heard! Boom.. (sorry cat in box not included).
Code Pie
Code Pie is a new indie rock band from Montreal. They mix a bit of garage, folk, pop and electronic in their sound depending on their song. Check out the new album which they have released on Bandcamp
Clara Engel
Here’s a little bit of something sort of avant-garde, eclectic and weird. Just because.
Two Bicycles
You’ve Probably heard of Vancouver’s Teen Daze. Two Bicycles is actually a side project of one of the dudes. So here’s some more chillwavey goodness for you.
Two Bicycles – “I’m Not Afraid to Wait for You”
Two Bicycles – “Alone At Sea”
Canadian Winter
This is probably the most “Canadian” name ever for a band and if you were to guess the genre, I bet you would not say hip-hop. However, they also have some of the most Canadian lyrics ever, with references to Tim Hortons and the CN Tower. Here’s a few Listen Before You Buy exclusives:
Canadian Winter – “City Lights”
Canadian Winter – “Housewarming”
Hot Hot Heat
Hot Hot Heat’s Future Breeds was probably one of my 2010 summer soundtracks (ironically fitting of the name eh?). God I’m so lame, but atleast I hope my taste in music isn’t.
Hot Hot Heat – “21@12″
Hot Hot Heat – “Jedidiah”
Christine Fellows
Lastly, I will leave you with sweet singer/songwriter Christine Fellows who’s sort have been all over Canada before settling in Winnipeg. She brings with her the folk roots of a woman well travelled.
Christine Fellows – “Regrets”
Christine Fellows – “Dragonfly”
