If you’d like to submit Canadian news to AbsolutePunk.net, email me at deborah.remus@absolutepunk.net or send me a PM with “Canadian Round-Up” in the subject line. I don't check the news queue often so that's probably the best way if you want to guarantee I'll see it.

Most excited to hear how the new Said the Whale EP and Marianas Trench full-length turn out.

Yeah, I didn't hear it until another user pointed it out, but that's true. However it's grown on me (I like some straight-up pop every now and then) and I've had a soft spot for this band since Fix Me so I'll give it a chance.

Sort of, but not really. They're a pop-rock band, but that song is definitely more on the pop spectrum than anything they've ever done. Masterpiece Theatre is their second record and would be a good place to start. Jason set up a stream awhile ago and it's still on their AP.net profile.
