Canada Eh?

Happy Holidays/New Years/(I guess that's a holiday...)
I, like most college students, returned home for the holidays. My Christmas morning started around 6am when I made my way to Newark airport, and after a bumpy flight, finally arrived in The Great White North in the mid-morning. Since being back here, I've encountered old friends, old bars and clubs we used to frequent, and of course, a whole lot of great Canadian music that I haven't heard in a while, or just plain haven't heard. 


So here's a couple songs proving that Canada is good for so much more then maple syrup, hockey, and polar bears. Enjoy a taste of the North.


Crystal Castles - Empathy (Noise/Electric)


Honesty, I didn't realize that Crystal Castles were from Canada until I moved away from this glorious country. This duo actually formed when Alice Glass (the vocalist) was only 15 and playing in an unsigned Noise band in Toronto. Long story short, Crystal Castles came together after producer Ethan Kath saw Glass' band's performance in a bar in downtown Toronto. 


MSTRKRFT - Bounce (A-Trak Remix) (Electric/Dance)


Here's a double Canadian song posting for you. MSTRKRFT, straight from the Beaches in Toronto, Ontario, being remixed by Montreal's A-Trak. Enjoy this bumpin' club hit. 


Blue Foundation - Eyes On Fire (Zed's Dead Remix) (Dubstep)


Oh, Zed's Dead. Where do I even begin? An amazing Dubstep duo from Toronto that plays a show at a bar called Wrong Bar every Wednesday night. If you're ever in Toronto on a Wednesday, you now know where to go.


Stay tuned! There will be more Canadian tunes to come in the following two weeks.
