Spreading The Joy of Canadian Rock
(Or We're Sorry About Nickelback, Really)
A post for those of you who are really into their rock music (all the rest of you, well.....hey look, a unicorn!)
Every summer the radio plays one rock song that's so unbelievably infectious I have to make a crazed beeline for the record store. In 2003, it was "Every Inambition" by The Trews (another great Canadian band, but not the subject of this post). In 2004, it was (and most of the rest of the world agreed with me) "Are You Gonna Be My Girl?" by Jet. Well, 2005 is the year of "All Used Up" by Sloan, a band that's been among the biggest bands on the Canadian scene since the mid-90s, but never really managed to break out overseas.
They're one of my faves and I'm really digging this new tune. Watch the video by checking out this site and clicking on 'multimedia'. (Note: You'll have to navigate away from that page once your video player opens, thanks to the page's background music.)

I for one have continued to hate Sloan since the mid 90s.
When can we Brits get to see Rush touring on our side of the pond again?
