are you kidding me?

"they came out with their first single "try honesty" and then kind of...disappeared"

maybe its because you dont live in canada, but in canada, they are very mainstream. they have released 2 more singles after try honesty and made videos for both of them. they won best artist and best album on the juno awards for 2005 (canadian award thing) and they have won lots of awards from much music too.

aside from that, they use to be my favorite band... until they got overplayed on the radio

I can back that statement up..They were everywhere round here.

yeah, they're all over here, but they do have some awesome songs, and some sick guitar riffs too, which i love. simple, but not redundant.

Saw them live a few times.
One of the best I've seen.
Very true.

Good band.

I am Canadian and I still don't get it. Why are they such a challenging band when real talented musicians from here get ignored here and adored elsewhere? I am sure any Brits can attest to Death From Above 1979 and any Yanks can attest to (meh) Propaghandi. These are bands that are from my country and are virtually ignored, I am sure they are extremely dismayed that they haven't been nominated for a Juno award Ha Ha!!!

MURDER JUNKIE · 08-26-2005, 01:18 PM
