Three artists for you to check out today, and they are all from Canada in honor of Canada Day.
1. Metric – female-fronted band, kind of reminiscent of the 90s chic-rock movement. Here’s Monster Hospital by Metric.
2. Broken Social Scene – Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you probably already know who they are. They are, however, a band that I have really come to like recently. Check out Lover’s Spit by Broken Social Scene.
3. Mother Mother – Here’s a band with a catchy tune called “Wrecking Ball“. Cool stuff if you like folkier indie rock.
Does Canada measure up to the US and the UK when it comes to indie bands? Personally, I think there is a strong showing. However, I want to hear what you have to say. Leave a comment and let us know what you think!

Chris enjoys candlelight dinners, kittens, and long walks on the beach. Okay, not really, but he does like being in Houston to check out new bands in the great indie rock band scene. 
Hell yeah Canada has a strong showing. Metric, Apostle of Hustle, OLP, Wolf Parade, Stars, The New Pornographers, Islands, Barenaked Ladies, Broken Social Scene, Conjure One <3 They can hold their own.
Then again, Canada sent down Alanis Morrisette.
I’m really digging the Beatles-Meets-Mars-Volta-Meets-Billy-Joel sound from Wrecking Ball. I think I’ll grab that album… I gotta say though, Canada definitely has some talent, but I don’t think anyone can touch the amount of talent flowing out of the UK. As far as the US goes, well you probably don’t want to hear my opinion on that.
