nobody gives....come on! The Outfield were pioneers of Canadian rock and roll!

 

"...You know I like my girls a little bit older."

 

Right?

There are plenty of talented musicians in Nova Scotia, my favourite though is The Joel Plaskett Emergency! Wintersleep are good too.

 

The Guthries

Ruth Miniiken

Jill Barber (she's living there I think)

Matt Mays (is he still living there?)

Julie Dorion (she seems to keep moving back and forth between there and TO)

The rest of Eric's Trip (?)

 

 

 

don't know wintersleep tho. Good?

I wouldn't call the County Seat of Ocean County and the huge town right off the Parkway that every thousands upon thousands of NYers have to drive through to get the Shore (Seaside Heights) in the middle of nowhere.

 

Did you get all that stuff from the Chamber of Commerce's website or something? ;)

 

Nah, I'd have to disagree and say it is the middle of nowhere. Bustling, populated, but still the middle of nowhere.

Great. Check out Weighty Ghost on iTunes, great tune. Matt Mays is a great guy, lives in NYC now though.

I haven't posted here in a very long time, but I had to make a post to represent my native state of Kansas.

That said, the list isn't terribly impressive.

 

Kansas (can't miss that one)

The Anniversary

Ad Astra Per Aspra

The New Amsterdams

Get Up Kids (not really a very good band, but they might be the most well known)

Split Lip Rayfield

The Gadjits (they use some other name now)

 

If there are any I am missing, I am interested to know.

 

Oh, and for those of you who live in Georgia: You have to include nearly the whole of the Elephant 6 Collective, they were based out of Athens.

My favorite band from my home state/province are the Weakerthans. John K. Samson's great lyrics and wonderful songs! I am really liking their newest album "Reunion Tour" as well.
