I don´ know even a little about actual Canadian bands, although several bands from your country are in my prefered top music, as The Guess Who, Helix, Rush, April Wine, Triumph, Femme Fatale, Tanglefoot, Saga, Slaughter...people know how to rock there!
I´m listening now to your myspace and you have good songs there. The Bigots Veil and Pharma....are excellent tunes. Congratulations.
The picture with the beautiful woman is the album cover? Nice painting.

check out Leitmotiv from Quebec - excellent prog in the vein of Maneige, Genesis. Best of all, their album Entangles is available for direct download, and you can donate what you feel. (though they suggest a certain price)

Which is your band? Just started to listen to your myspace page right now. I love the pianoriff In The Bigots Veil. Your music sometimes reminds me of Il Balletto Di Bronzo (which is a good thing). I seriously think you need to do something about your image (sorry for being superficial). Dress up in black suits, like monks or whatever. Those baggy shorts and comfortable t-shirts etc, are very practical and a natural choice for a sunny afternoon, but works strongly against your attemt on creating drama, aggression and mystery in your music. Anyway I like the whole Quebec scene of the 70's with Maneige, Toubabou, Dionne-Bregent, Conventum, L'Infonie, Sloche etc... That city alone made Canada one of the most interesting (and underrated) nations for progressive music back then. |

The one Canadian band that has me all geeked up right now is the one off from Pollen..great kinda GG inspired stuff. Also really dig on Et Cetera (another GG-esque group from the 70's), Sloche, and have been getting into Hamadryad.
And oh yeah, there's this power trio from as far back as the 70's, you know, the one where the lead singer has a real high voice and they do a lot of arena rock anthems? You know, the one NOT named Triumph... |

I'm also a fan of two brilliant acid folk bands: Ptarmigan and Jan & Lorraine
+ current Post/Chamber rock from Montreal Esmerine and Fifths of Seven (only Ptarmigan is in the archives of all these) |

Octobre is always overlooked and they were actually musically solid. Not much has even been written about them in Canadian or even French Canadian music books! They`re completely ignored in such "definitive" works as Heart Of Gold, The Encyclopedia Of Canadian Rock, Pop & Folk Music and perhaps the most glaring ommission, The Encyclopedia Of Music In Canada.
 That`s fairly typical though........ |

Canoe ! which reminds me, I've just uploaded their albums Spirit of the North & Eclipse to my PC. I really must burn them to CD, and come back with some reviews.
Oh, and I guess Martyr's guitarist will be the one filling Piggy's spot for some shows from Voivod. The plan is to play music only from pre-Jasonic albums, and the new one - Infini. Nice to see someone else getting into Leitmotiv. |

Two bands that haven't been mentioned and have had Rush members on as guest musicians are Max Webster w/Kim Mitchell and Rheostatics. Max Webster was on the Anthem label with Rush and they are from Sarnia. Rheostatics had Neil Peart play drums on one song on one of their albums. They are from Etobicoke, Ontario, which is apparently also a part of Toronto.

MARTHA AND THE MUFFINS
Sorry not prog but their song Echo Beach is cool! One band that was not quite prog was The Spoons from Burlington, Ontario. Some of their songs such as Smiling In Winter remind me of some shorter yes compositions. The bass player, Sandy Horn, has a lot of Chris Squire qualities. She must have listened to at least a few Yes albums for sure. They also use a lot of Yes-like vocal harmonies. I partied with these guys once backstage. Punch in Spoons - Smiling In Winter MUSIC VIDEO in HD on youtube. Edited by Vibrationbaby - June 01 2009 at 14:00 |
