The Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie were a Albertan band active from 1987-2005 and feature comedy songs parodying historical events and Canadian culture in general. One of the most famous songs is "The Toronto Song", in which their Albertan roots show through in a playful banter about the rest of the country (particularly Toronto though).

Song Created in 1993-2000, released in 2000 under the Tangents Album. The Tea Party was formed in Windsor, Ontario. Active in the 90s, and since reformed in the 2010s, they are still active and releasing music.

Last song I'm posting for the night! I planned on stopping sooner but got excited when I realized The Tea Party is actually from my home city of Windsor! I had no idea. Would explain why I recognize all of their songs, I must've heard them a couple hundred times over the radio.

I guess I kind of have a thing for every variation of rock music, huh?

Created in 1985 by Scottish-Canadian Lawrence Gowan. Gowan was born in Scotland, but immigrated to Scarborough Ontario when he was younger. Gowan's career is mostly entirely contained within Canada, with most popular being in Toronto, the epicenter of his career. As of this post, 1/10 of Gowan's 101k monthly listeners are from Toronto.

Made in 2003 in the Truthfully Truthfully album. Joel Plaskett is from Halifax, Nova Scotia, and his music often makes references to his home city.

Joel Plaskett has a strong history of celebrating Canadian music. His music itself is great, but look into his strong advocacy of Canadian Musicians, and his criticisms of bands that go on to play more in other countries than Canada itself.

Made in 1993. Band is based from Toronto. Still releasing music to this day albeit with different band members.

"Sometimes it's wise To know which way the gun is pointing Before you yell, "I see the whites of their eyes"

Aside from being quite catchy and pleasant to listen to, the lyrics are quite heartfelt and clever. Big fan of this band's pieces.

Released July 2000, still relevant.

Just found this really inspired dungeon synth album which happens to be from a Montréal artist. Highly recommended if that’s your thing.

Editted title to conform to updated posting guidelines.

Gentle bittersweet spleen. Love them

Québec's Harmonium was a force in the '70s prog rock scene, and one of the most popular acts of the decade in their home province. They were pioneers of the prog folk subgenre of progressive rock, incorporating elaborate instrumental sections into their music.

I'm returning back to Canada in 2 months and you bet your ass this will be blasting during the drive up. I don't plan on living anywhere else for the rest of my life.

BA Johnston is an artist from Hamilton, Ontario known for his satirical songs and energetic live performances. Some songs will be simple acoustic arrangements, as in Canadian Beers or they'll feature synth and drum machines, like I Don't Buy No Government Weed (Still Buying From Steve). Across all tracks, there's BA Johnston's self-deprecating humour and many references to real Canadian culture (like the mention of the camo Alpines in Canadian Beers, this man gets me)

Seriously, if you ever get the chance to see one of his live shows, please do yourself a favour and go! I don't want to share any details because it's best you go in blind. I will say that a BA Johnston show is an unhinged, multi-sensory experience.

Playful as a puppy but smart as a whip, New Brunswick's Motherhood pack deeply conceptual art rock into a delightfully unpretentious package.
