Thanks for the review, man.
Yeah, some good music comes out of Montreal. I never really got into Metric. My sister did, though. I think they're actually from Toronto. Never heard of The Dears. Arcade Fire and Chromeo come to mind though.
TBH the only local act I've REALLY gotten into is Chromeo. I haven't really been into their music recently (I may have over-listened to it), but when I was first getting into it a couple of years ago, HOLY SHIT that was good stuff.
P-Thugg is actually one of the main reasons I got a talkbox. I saw them live back then and I was totally amazed by the performance. Of course, some of that credit also goes to Roger Troutman, but I only discovered Zapp because of Chromeo.
Shit I almost forgot -- Simple Plan is one of the most amazing bands of all time. I feel honored to have an association with them because we're from the same city.
JK, LOL! SIMPLE PLAN FUCKING SUCKS!
