Wil
Wil Mimnaugh是加拿大的民謠歌手。他出生自一個音樂世家，母親是一個歌手，父親是個吉他手，註定了他的音樂天賦。早期以翻唱The Verve、Pearl Jam等出道，後來開始了自己創作。他的前兩張專輯廣受好評，並逐漸開始和Gomez、Feist等知名樂隊和歌手一起合作。去年的新專輯脫離了生活和愛情沉重的一面，開始擁有自己獨特的作詞和唱法。
CHARTattack said it best:
“Best. Acoustic. Guitar. Player. Ever. No joke — this man is gifted。”
Parlovr (發音和 “Parlour”相近)
Parlovr是三個蒙特利爾人組成的獨立流行樂隊。他們狂躁混亂的音樂，歡樂怪異的歌曲和誘人的現場演出，已成功捕獲了音樂專家及潮流大眾的心。《Spin》雜誌和《紐約時代》稱他們的現場是蒙特利爾2009年五支必看的樂隊之一。他們曾和Franz Ferdinand 和Arctic Monkeys一起巡演。音樂裏有著六十年代流行、八十年代後朋和九十年代車庫，但又令你不可思議的耳目一新。
These dudes have toured with the likes of Franz Ferdinand and Arctic Monkeys, and Spin magazine named them 1 of “5 Montreal Bands to Watch” in 2009.
Raw and reverb-soaked, screams and whispers; sing-alongs and spacey instrumentals; warm and crisp, shimmering leads; short pop jabs and extended epics. You get the idea, right? It’s quirky, it’s catchy, and while it’s full of familiar throwbacks to ‘60s pop, ‘80s post-punk, and ‘90s garage, it’s also refreshing。
The Racoons (請不要和其他樂隊搞錯，他們只有一個“C”)
他們有著一個可愛的名字“浣熊”。他們謙虛低調地自稱為一支向大牌致敬的樂隊，其中包括Joy Division、Frank Zappa、The Cars和Bruce Springsteen。在和像The Von Bondies這樣的樂隊一起巡演之後，這支獨立流行樂隊正準備今夏發行他們的首張正式專輯。而美國熱門節目《好萊塢女孩》中也有一集用到了他們的歌曲。
These Vancouver-based indie-poppers were quickly snapped up by the same guy who manages Tegan &Sara, and are preparing to record their first full-length album this summer。
Pit-stops on their rise to fame have included touring with Detroit rockers The Von Bondies, and – OMG – having their song “Room to Operate” featured on an episode of MTV’s The Hills (Season 5, Episode 12. The scene where Spencer and Heidi are arguing about babysitting. Not that we watch The Hills。)

Flash Lightnin’
illScarlett (他們可不是Good Charlotte)
illScarlett是安大略的雷鬼Ska四人樂隊。他們的音樂受Sublime和No Doubt的影響很深。流行朋克、現代搖滾、Ska和雷鬼，不同元素的猛烈撞擊，令樂隊仿佛一位巨大彪悍的格鬥機器人。而讓你不由自主跟著舞蹈的Ska和雷鬼節奏，絕對是夏天最清新舒爽最沁人心脾的解暑良藥。
Warped Tour mainstays illScarlett are an Ontario four-piece who make reggae/dub-infused rock. Their most notable influences are Sublime and No Doubt. They even worked with Matthew Wilder, producer of No Doubt’s Tragic Kingdom on their 2007 album, All Day With It。
Ohbijou (如果你是Joanna Newsom和Mazzy Star的粉絲，一定不能錯過他們)
Ohbijou 是來自安大略省的六人弦樂流行樂隊。Ohbijou的音樂，融合流行、民謠及藍草的影響，被描繪為“輕聲細語，觸動心房的音樂”。他們用曼陀林、小提琴、鋼琴、班卓琴、大提琴以及一系列令人印象深刻的樂器，編制出一副美妙的圖畫。
樂隊和Belle Union / Last Gang Records這兩個著名唱片公司簽約，在同門樂隊Fleet Foxes、Midlake、Metric等的光芒下，正努力打造屬於自己的一片天地。
This Toronto-sextet make lush, string-heavy music led by vocals from band leader Casey Mecija and incorporating mandolin, bell lyre, banjo, piano, cello and more. The BBC’s Paul Bennun called Ohbijou’s music “gorgeous…folk music that swings。”
The band has inked deals with Bella Union in Europe (also home to Fleet Foxes, Midlake, Andrew Bird, etc。) and Last Gang Records in North America (New Pornographers, Metric, Crystal Castles, etc。).
Flash Lightnin' 讓你不停搖擺的布魯斯風情和金屬力量
Flash Lightnin’是多倫多的搖滾英雄，上世紀70年代的ZZ Top和滾石是他們絕對的偶像。他們的音樂，有著工人階級臟兮兮的布魯斯風情，有著沙漠般轟隆隆的金屬力量，不容你多想，只有一頭扎進去，用心去聆聽，扭著屁股去搖擺，才能最自然最直接的感受這種的美妙——在這之前，別忘了先來上杯上好的波旁威士忌助助興，引爆那顆早已按捺不住躁動的心。
Flash Lightnin' insist that you chug some bourbon and dance to their “bad-ass sludge boogie。”
The Toronto power rockers wear their influence of 70's ZZ Top and Rolling Stones like a well-worn Nudie Suit, with rhinestone crests of Jack White and the Black Keys。
How many other bands do you know versatile enough to open for Priestess, Metric and Broken Social Scene?
