  1. Currently loving on "High Noon" by Arkells. Some really excellent songwriting on this album, has me bopping around my house doing the chores today. #canadianrock #rock #canadianmusic #hamilton #hamont youtu.be/HvwXa174jAQ?si=bkns9X

  2. Just a Little Bit of CanRock: 54-40

    Formed in Tsawwassen, BC, 54-40 has been a consistent presence in Canadian rock since the 80s. With Neil Osborne's distinctive vocals, they've released a string of radio staples including 'Ocean Pearl,' 'She La,' and 'I Go Blind'β€”a song that gained international fame when it was covered by Hootie & the Blowfish, but remains quintessentially theirs in Canada. #Canada #5440 #CanadianRock #90sMusic πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

  5. Prism – Armageddon
    Label: Magnum Records – 9242-2001
    Format: Vinyl, LP, Album
    Country: Canada
    Released: 1979
    Genre: Rock
    Style: Pop Rock

    Another record-fair-find - First time I've had this album on vinyl. I played the death out of this one on cassette back in the day.

    The album title track, Armageddon, is what really captured my attention with the 'ambient' audio opening of a doomsday bomber taking off on the world-ending mission. Hadn't heard art/rock/ambience applied that way at that time.

    Otherwise, the album's great too - double platinum in Canada, pretty good for a Canuck band 'eh? Good album rock for the time with a few Bryan Adams-penned tunes in there to keep things boppin'. The last cut of side A 'Take it or leave it', could have been done by KISS, heh.

  6. More from 54-40 - I remember listening to this song on CFNY from Toronto Canada back when I was in college. Looks like the band is still goin - well at least they were in 2021!

  7. Based out of the beautiful city of Toronto, Ontario is a band called Enter the Haggis - uniquely weird name, amazing band!

    The getaway car in your backyard was your last resort
    Hidden under vines and autumn leaves
    Waiting there for you to come when it was just too hard
    Sit there with your hands upon the wheel

    You can run

    The getaway car could take you there, any place you need
    Around the corner, up into the sky
    Somewhere on this highway you forgot that you could dream
    Forgot that you could break the speed of life

    You can run, but you won't get far
    Now you've locked your keys in the getaway car

    Drawn into the high-speed chase, fight for bottom line
    Sirens push the pedal to the floor
    The getaway car looks rusty but you know that it can shine
    Fill 'er up again and let it roar

    Everyone forgets about this place
    But we all need a little time and space

  8. "My uncle has a country place
    That no one knows about
    He says it used to be a farm
    Before the Motor Law
    And on Sundays I elude the eyes
    And hop the Turbine Freight
    To far outside the Wire
    Where my white-haired uncle waits..."

    Who are contemporary Canadian (but particularly Albertan) indie rock/pop bands with original recordings you think should get more attention?
