Ok, after a little thought, here are my five (once again, with a definitive Can-con slant, and keeping it to more recent discs, and excluding the aforementioned Silent Radar):
1. The Trews - House of Ill Fame (for anyone interested, they'll be performing on the NHL Awards show tomorrow night)
2. Sam Roberts - We Were Born In A Flame
3. Sloan - Action Pact
4. Thornley - Come Again (yeah, I know it's Chad K.'s label, but the disc is damn good, especially cranked up after a bad day)
5. 54-40 - Radio Love Songs - The Singles Collection (still one of my favorite bands - having survived 20-plus years together, they never got the recognition they deserved IMHO... :thumb: )
As for other bands to keep an eye (ear) out for, the new stuff by the former Watchmen guys (Danny Greaves' new project "Doctor", and Joey Serlin's "Redline") also sound promising from the online snippits I've heard, but the jury's obviously still out until the discs are released...
I'm sure the minute I hit Submit, I'll think of a half-dozen more...
Great topic, btw! :thumb:
