The Band is a Canadian-American classic rock band that formed in 1968, but the members had a history of playing together as early as the 1950s. With the Canadian members being from Toronto and the American vocalist being from Woodstock, New York, the group made a truly timeless and iconic version of rock that has strong roots in classic rock, Americana, folk, R&B, jazz, and country. The Band played together with members coming and going from 1968 to as far as 1999, but their prime was in the 70s and 80s.

To this day, The Band is immensely popular and has influenced music in Canada, America, and globally. They still get nearly 3 million monthly listens on Spotify, with the majority of listeners coming from New York City, Chicago, and Toronto.

I figured this song would be most fitting for me as I just scored my first union job! I don't want to doxx myself, but it is a sight for sore eyes, even with its blemishes, compared to lots of the jobs I've worked where I've had no protection and few rights.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rezz

Isabelle Rezazadeh (born 28 March 1995), who is known by her stage name Rezz (stylized in all caps), is a Ukrainian–Canadian DJ and record producer from Niagara Falls, Ontario.

Rezz is an electronic music producer and DJ; her sound has been described as "midtempo bass" and a modern styling of "new beat".[1] In 2015, MTV called her the "new queen of the dark techno scene", writing she had been "making electronic and techy beats for two years" at that point.[3] EDM.com's Niko Sani wrote Rezz's "deliciously ominous, often alien-sounding bass music" helped gain her popularity within the electronic music scene in around 2016.[54] Other music writers have referred to Rezz's music as sounding "dark",[55] as well as "menacing", "mechanical", "haunting and industrial".[56] Spotify's outlet For the Record profiled Rezz, calling her "one of the most highly regarded producers of downtempo soundscapes", and saying she "strikes a firm balance between minimal original tech compositions and the all-heavy bass"

I loved Wolf Castle's other album, 'Waiting for the Dawn'. Stephen Hero is new to me.

Title Translation : life, little N***

Muzion is an Haitian Montrealer rap Band

Aujourd'hui, le groupe du jour est Malajube, un groupe de indie rock.

Ils viennent de Sorel-Tracy, Québec, et ont formé Malajube en 2004. Leur premier album est sorti la même année, appelé Le compte complet. Cet album a connu un grand succès, étant diffusé sur les stations de radio québécoises et dans les festivals de musique.

Leur deuxième album Trompe-l'œil a été lancé en février 2006 (et c'est l'album que j'ai lié dans le titre). Le groupe sortira deux autres albums avant d'entamer une pause indéfinie en 2011. Comme cela fait plus d'une décennie, je doute qu'ils reviennent. Mais ce serait formidable s'ils le faisaient!

Désolé pour le post manqué la semaine dernière. La vie m'a un peu rattrapé. Je suis actuellement entre deux postes. Le radins de Windsor n'ont pas renouvelé mon contrat.

Fantasy Life is a collection of thirteen songs written under the heat of the sun in Los Angeles, California and then recorded during the dead of winter in Winnipeg, Manitoba. It’s about the mundane and the magical, the delusional and the hopeful, the thrilling and the crushing. It’s the promise of spring and then all the snow melts to reveal piles of glittering garbage. It’s watching bright balloons float away into the clouds. It’s a slimy fleshy worm feeding a beautiful garden. A place to escape to but not to live forever.

There’s a spirit of freedom to this record that was such a big part of the songwriting sessions I had in LA with deadmen. I spent a little over a month in total with them writing this record every day and it’s the most RIGHT in songwriting sessions that I've ever felt. Everything felt so easy and fun and that has never happened to me quite like that before. This freedom allowed me to go to more complex and comfortable places with my voice and in my lyrics than I have in the past. I feel like I’ve grown so much in my sound and my confidence in the last few years and I know that reflects in this record.

from the album:

Fly by Night

The Tragically Hip hardly need introduction but here it is regardless. Formed in 1984 in Kingston, Ontario they are likely the most ironic Canadian music band, standing shoulder to shoulder with other iconic groups such as Rush. While Rush found more success across North America, The Tragically Hip stayed Canadian in the topics of their songs, arguably limiting their success but forever weaving themselves into the tapestry of Canadian culture.

As well as being Canadian icons, they are a band that have proven themselves time after time with their dedication to raising awareness and funds for a variety of humanitarian causes.

I try to bring the spotlight to lesser known and niche Canadian bands in this community, but I think we can carve some space for some of the iconics from time to time.

Bring the Light is a very recent melodic hardcore punk band formed in 2018, in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec -- otherwise known as the South shore of Montreal. The members consist of ex members of the disbanded punk rock bands Subb, Twenty2 and The Lookout.

This band is possibly the smallest band I've posted on the community! As of now, there are only 379 monthly listeners, although Take Back the Crown does have 100k listens. All the rest are less than 5k listens. I highly recommend giving some of their songs a try, they are really cool. Sounds like something you'd hear on Tony Hawk Skater Pro, and I mean that as a compliment.

Bring the Light is still active and regularly plays in the Montreal region and releasing new original songs. They are currently working on their first album, to be released without a label, some time in 2025 or 2026.

The Dirty Nil is a band from Hamilton, Ontario. Fitting as I am likely going to be moving to Hamilton for work soon! They originally formed in 2006, and are still actively playing in Canada.

They are a 3 person band, with the Lead vocals and guitar, Luke Bentham, and Drums, Kyle Fisher, being with the band since 2006. Their Bass and backing vocal member has changed ever 5 years or so, with the most recent change being this year, with Anthony Vitanza taking the role.

Pain of Infinity it not even remotely one of their most popular songs, but it is the one that I like the most. The opening riffs are super nice to listen to, and the lyrics remind me quite a bit of previous relationships I've had. If you listen to the lyrics, you'll piece together it wasn't a healthy one.

The Real Mackenzies is a Scottish-Canadian Celtic Rock band from Vancouver, British Columbia. The Band is centered around one Paul Mackenzie, who is the only original band member from its inception in 1992.

The band features strong Celtic influences first and foremost, as well as a steep sense of tongue-in-cheek humour that the Scottish are known for. The band is largely known for starting the Canadian Celtic Punk scene, a scene which I did not know existed until Spotify randomly played this song for me a month ago. However, I think it is one of my most favourite niche genres of Canadian music now.

The band is still active and performing to this day.
