I was saying I hear influences from all those bands in this bands music. Not surprising given the geographical and cultural links you point out.

I'm hoping to get a bit more time to listen to them soon. It's unfortunate that more bands like this don't get the exposure they deserve in the canadian market. Anne Murray you'll see and hear every few minutes in ads and on the radio. Canadian culture being shoved down our throats again.
I Am CaNaDiaN and I'm NOT Gonna take it anymore! lol Ok I feel better now
