From Canada?

 

Hot Hot Heat, Bedouin Soundclash, Tiga, DFA 1979, MSTRKRFT, The Organ, Broken Social Scene, Howie Beck, Peaches and Gonzales should keep you busy.

I know.

Industrial legends Skinny Puppy and Front Line Assembly (and their respective spin offs - Ohgr, Delirium and FLA's Rhys Fulber's solo stuff is very intriguing...); Darkbeat/EBM Goddess Ayria is a very cool lady as well.... :thumbup: ; and Kittie (all-girl metal band) are a lot better than some people will have you believe....

well if there as good as that other Canadian Kitty is in films they should be alright :lol:

Arcade Fire are the best band i've seen live in the last 5 years.. maybe my whole live. No really, if you get a chance to see them live do it!

 

Other Canook, er Candian Bands worth checking out:

 

 

Hot Hot Heat

Tiga, DFA 1979

The Organ

Chad VanGaalen - singer songwriter (check out his song called 'Clinically Dead')

The New Pornographers - too pop for me, but still a good band

The Most Serene Republic

Islands

The Unicorns

Wolf Parade

 

Another GREAT set of bands are in Broken Social Scene or offshoots of the band. BSS are nearly as good as Arcade Fire Live (much better live than recording even)

Stars - super indie pop

Feist - nice light indie

Metric - straight indie

The Dears - stright indie with a slight morrissey voice

 

Post Rock - Godspeed You! Black Emperor (and offshoots Fly Pan Am, Set Fire to Flames, A Silver Mt. Zion and Sam Shalabi) - these are more post-rock

 

GRIMLY FIENDISH already covered the industrial acts
