[xtheaudition]

No good

[FueledByRock]

Yeah, they've popped up a couple of times around AP. Can't say I enjoy them.

[Indoor Living]

These guys would make Hall & Oates roll over in their graves...if either of them were dead. Not a fan.

[givemegravity]

This is the reason Hall & Oates are mustache-less these days.

[tidalwave]

I can tolerate them, and that's only because I have to because they've been doing shows all over Canada for years so they're fun to see drunk.
Not a fan of their newer stuff though. Grind and Pop Your Trunk or whatever were fun though.

do they play big shows, or mostly just clubs and stuff? i could see them being fun at a bar where everyones drunk and having a good time. they got a spot on cute is what we aim for's comeback summer tour, so that should be interesting.

Band is complete shit

[fly_guy]

I expect to hear this 'band' on the radio sometime this year.

[fly_guy]

Band is complete shit

Oh without a doubt. This is terrible, terrible music. It's so frustrating

[HometownHero]

I can't tell if you are being sarcastic with me

[tidalwave]

the shows that I've seen have been clubs varying from crowds of 20 people to about 300. They have done some fairly large shows recently though because theyre alllll over the radio here. Theyre definitely a good band to see when everyone's drunk. I'm sure they get a lot of hate on this site because theyre just fun, but they have soooo mucn energy live. See them if you like them/get the chance :)

[cwhit412]

I don't think I'd ever be able to listen to them really, but they're much different than many other bands, especially with the arrangements. They also seem like a fun live show base don the videos I've seen.

[fly_guy]

I can't tell if you are being sarcastic with me

Haha no, this really REALLY does suck

[HometownHero]

Haha no, this really REALLY does suck

The fact that bands like this exist, make my heart hurt

[dru]

fun music to get drunk to

[asthenia*]

fun music to get drunk to
no amount of alcohol could make this band less shitty. another example of how major labels only pick up the shittiest canadian talent

if i had to go with Canadians having talent, id pick sum 41, billy talent, and the black maria.

yeah i've never heard of them much over here, its crazy how bands get picked up so fast these days from major labels.

[HometownHero]

Drake.

[chelsealouanne]

I most definately agree with you here!
Sum 41 are by far the best Canadian talent here in my opinion, along with another of my favourites, The Latency.
Billy Talent have won countless Junos and also some more good Canadian talent would be Three Days Grace.

but honestly, I don't see much in Down With Webster.

[tidalwave]

Drake.


....no

[chelsealouanne]

....no

I agree. I'm not a fan of Drake either.

also, no. Billy Talent=yes before their most recent album..too reptitive...but The latency and Three Days Grace? no.

Alexisonfire/Dallas Green..yes.

and lets not forget...The Tragically Hip...thats alll people need to know about canada.

didnt know 3 days were from canada.

[chelsealouanne]

Haha, yeah. They formed in Norwood, Ontario.

your avatar is hot.

Mark Hoppus is love.

This is garbage... You're 22 man, time to stop listening to shit like this.

billy talent is a terrible testament to the canadian music scene..

alexisonfire hasn't been good since watch out! and dallas green, well yeah he's an amazing vocalist

sum 41 has been going downhill since brown sound left,

down with webster is comparable to stereos, just terrible.

and nobody mentioned the guess who yet, or neil young or even bryan adans. god fucking dammit

[aradiantsunrise]

No thank you.

i didn't know neil young was from here.
actually, i have nothing against the guess who. burton is my moms second cousin.
and sum 41 are actually recording new material and are on tours at the moment, so they're doing just fine i think.
and i agree with you on stereos and dww.

[HometownHero]

....no

But you have Lady Gaga as an avatar :ok:

[fly_guy]

7mdIWaRi-7c&feature=related

Fuck this fucking shitty ass band

[DeathOrGlory]

I'm so glad Arkells won Best New Band at the Junos instead of these guys. Terrible example of Canadian talent. Metric, Tokyo Police Club, The Trews, Rush, k-os, Mother Mother, Hot Hot Heat and Sam Roberts are good examples. Synth pop rock like new Faber Drive, Stereos and DWW are not.

[xtheaudition]

This is garbage... You're 22 man, time to stop listening to shit like this.
i can listen to whatever and i barely have, i listened to their ep once through and that was it.

[tidalwave]

But you have Lady Gaga as an avatar :ok:

You were stating that drake represents canada's talent. I never said Gaga was the best thing to come out of the states.
I like drake..he just isnt the hiphop god he seems to think he is.

although i disagree with the alexisonfire call, i agree with the rest. But I dont think anyone forgot about artisits such as bryan adams. I love him. But I think this thread was going in a more "are there any good newer canadian artists/on the rise artists"

[xtheaudition]

definitelynot. listened to his mixtape everyone raved about in the b.o.b thread and its good, but its not that good. nothing new or special at all.

He is one thing that has come out of Canada that represents part o Canada's talent. Yes. No disputing that whatsoever

[RockTheWalls]

yeah i've never heard of them much over here, its crazy how bands get picked up so fast these days from major labels.

Dudes have been around for 10+ years. They used to just poster the fuck out of anything in Toronto and spraypaint/stencil their logo on sidewalks everywhere. They have worked some shitty jobs and have worked hard to get to this point. As much as I'm not a fan of the music, I respect these guys and what they've had to do. I've talked to the DJ and one of the guitarist on occasion over the past few years. When they signed to Universal Motown they were still working shitty jobs as janitors, fast food, etc. while doing the band.

Regardless, there are so many good Canadian bands that don't get enough recognition

yeah its gotta be hard up there. do you know how they landed a spot on the label? like with all that hard work of promotion a talent scout had to find them er something? maybe the internet? and their videos are slick produced. the label must have had to pay for those.

[tidalwave]

I'm almost certain I just said that I do like drake. My complaint was that the very first artist you thought to mention when everyone was questioning canada's talent was drake. Thats like me saying gaga first for america's talent. Rappers like Classified and K'naan are much more talented than drake.

no neeed to quote me on this saying something about drake. I dont disagree that he's talented. He just isn't all that.

[SophGod]

God dammit this thread is terrible.

Guess they saw potential and the shows they were doing around Ontario often selling out and thought it was a gold mine. They are deff. getting their payouts now and yeah the label must have been funded the music videos

Drake is right in league with those dudes. Who gives a fuck if has some swagger. After all that's happened he deserves one. But yeah done with this

true. i dont know i would say canada does have some great talent to offer, but it isnt found on mainstream labels

[Deborah Remus]

Gene Simmons backs them. He was on this Canadian news show I watch called The Hour and he wouldn't shut up about how much he loves DWW so I have a feeling that endorsement helped them quite a bit.

[xtheaudition]

yeah the videos are fun to watch. nothing more, nothing less.

damn! thats crazy! that was like james hetfield from metallica raving about sum 41 back in the day.
