I know the drummer for Triumph, Gil Moore, because his daughter went to the summer camp that I used to work at.

Plus, not all of those artists are necessarily bad though, and a few of them were actually popular outside Canada.

They may have expanded a little more now but i'm going to go with Marianas Trench.

Not a very good band but somehow each of their singles hits the radio here in good ol' Alberta.
