Here's another from the same artist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7vCww3j2-w Man, this guy wrote some great lyrics.
I <3 Wilcox. Get me drunk enough, and I'll start singing and/or slurring: Oh, some people call me a baaaaaaad apple! I may be bruised but I still taste sweet!

I thought about the Headstones, and I was trying to find something from Hard Core Logo to put up here. I have that film on VHS. :X I was really hoping nobody would mention Billy Talent, who ripped their name from the cult classic film. Oh yeah, and Eve6. They stole their band name from an X-Files episode about a little girl named Eve who was cloned. Wish I could find the song "Who The Hell Do You Think you Are", anyway Hard Core Logo Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uS_v6JFrh1k
While he was born and raised in Canada, he has spent the last 43 years living in the U.S., which includes almost all of his recording career. I think its a stretch to say that his music is "Canadian", as it was not recorded in or about there, he didn't live or reside there at the time, nor does it impart stylistic or other qualities that would make it endemic to Canada.
These guys are amazing live. I love this track. Sloan - Everything You've Done Wrong (1996) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9R2PTPdriI
I want to go somewhere. I've never been anywhere, while you yell at me. You're always yelling... Distorted guitars meets melodious lyrics. I have a photocopy of the lead singer's Greig Nori's ass somewhere from a concert I went to. Heh. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CaNTWbeZIDc
This guy was pretty nice. ...all you suckas are so fuckin' temporary... Awol One - Rhythm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjwOpqt4zlI
These guys fuckin' rock. Just rock. They are sort of a Canadian 'Rage Against the Machine' type band, only more talented with wind instruments and better lyrics. Awesome live band. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVRGZ0YKMIk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mhhv0FMEQ9A&feature=related Click me if you care
thanks for that, man. i remember you talking about them a long while ago, and hearing about them from a few other people who i think have pretty good taste in music....i'd always wanted to hear them, but never actually had i liked that a lot
