hello
i just wanted to let everyone know of an amazing young band in Niagara Falls, Ontario. They are The Worst Whale and they are making music with urgency and mathematical precision. They will blow your mind. I saw them last night for the first time and I felt like it was a gift to hear them in a small room. They will be known very soon.

They are on bandspace.com. Very down to earth, genuine people who are making moving music.

Hope you enjoy.

    coming from a Canadian this translates as a mediocre one hit wonder band.

    Just listened to one of their songs, sounds very Pink Floyd-ish.

    Oh and I love Our Lady Peace - wicked Canadian band, in my opinion.

    I was just going to say Our Lady Peace too, but that dude beat me to it

    decided to punch his way out of his mother's womb. Shortly thereafter
    he grew a beard.

    OLP is done, been on the crap downhill slide since the Gravity album.....and Rush is a fluke...they've got a good drummer, but c'mon they're really not that great.

    Hell, OLP were pretty much shit in my book after happiness is a fish...wasn't much of a fan of the next two.

    The only good band to ever come out of Canada is April Wine, and that is a FACT.

    Cool original post thanks.

    Lame thread though.

    Opinions are fine,welcomed and encouraged. The opening of one's
    pie-hole just to see how much shit can spew out is a different
    story.
    I agree, the original post was cool, what came after, for the most
    part was mindless dribble. I am ashamed of myself for getting
    involved in the shenanigans.

    Don't feel ashamed, I pride myself on sucking people into stupid debates on nonsense.

    Hey man, if you aspire to be good at sucking then don't let
    me stand in your way.
