A really interesting cover of Ahead by a Century was just released by a band from Nunavut called The Jerry Cans.

A little background about the band from their website:

The fast rising northern stars, The Jerry Cans, create music inspired by their hometown of Iqaluit, Nunavut. With their unique mix of Inuktitut alt-country, throat singing, and reggae, the Jerry Cans are a distinctly northern, one-of-a-kind group. The band perform many of their songs in Inuktitut and are passionate about preserving the language even as the north and their home community of Iqaluit evolve.

I agree with Juan, this was pretty cool.

Their full length album, Inuusiq, has been in my rotation since the spring. Love the melodies and the throat singing combined with some celtic influence. Too bad I don`t understand I damn word of the lyrics though

That was pretty cool. I was not expecting that. I have never heard of of them before this post. Definitely a band I would like to check out.
