Time to look at three more new Canadian bands you need to check out!
Melted Mirror
Another fine band from the vibrant Calgary scene, this band channels the lush post punk of the mid-80s. Think Echo and the Bunnymen, OMD, Gang of Four, The Cure, that sort of thing. They're dark, and they love vintage synths. What's not to like?
Crims and Flow
Another Calgary band, and another band that worships at the altar of the 80s. Crims and Flow owe a bit more to no wave bands like The Contortions and Suicide, or the herky-jerky new wave of DEVO or Pere Ubu. They merge demented new wave, electronic noise and shouted vocals into difficult but short songs.
RE/GEN
RE/GEN are from Vancouver, and they have a sludgy psychedelic vibe mixed with indy rock and noise. Canada has been doing lots of great psychedelic music, and Vancouver in particular has been leading the pack. RE/GEN are a bit more scrappy than an average psychedelic band though, they keep their songs short and punchy.
