font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;ESPAÑOL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Bendecida  con un delicado pero potente sonido que recuerda a artistas como &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Norah Jones&lt;/span&gt; o &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Madeleine Peyroux;&lt;/span&gt; Emma-Lee es oriunda de Toronto, Ontario, su album debut se titula &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Never Just A Dream&lt;/span&gt; el cual salio en el 2009 y desde entonces poco a poco ha ido ganando popularidad entre prensa de su ciudad y con la gente.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Los dulces tonos de su voz y la vibra melosa para iniciar pero lo que  te mantiene escuchando son las conciensudas letras empalmadas con el estilo de Emma. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Los Fans del jazz apreciaran los sonidos dulces del album. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;That Sinking Feeling, Jealousy,&lt;/span&gt; y &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Mr. Buttonlip&lt;/span&gt; (su primer sencillo) son canciones mas ritmicas y movidas pero que mantienen la linea que la canadiense ha formado.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Jazz, soul de los 50´s y un moderno sonido de canta-autor es lo que les espera al escucharlos, segun la prensa Emma esta destinada para grandes cosas en el futuro, espermos que asi sea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;ENGLISH&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;This ability to sing on the razor’s edge of stability (of tone, vibe and rhythm) is a true talent, and something for which Emma-Lee has a bit of a knack. Fans of Norah Jones and her ilk will appreciate the sweetness and lyricism of this album, but will soon find themselves sucked deeper in by modern lyrics set to wicked grooves. You may find yourself dancing around your living room – slow dancing (with a real live partner or a broom, your choice) to the leisurely tracks, and bopping your head and shimmying your hips to the upbeat songs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Emma-Lee shines brightest on those upbeat numbers, like &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em style="font-family: arial;"&gt;That Sinking Feeling, Jealousy, &lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Mr. Buttonlip&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;. Some of the mellower tracks, like the slow and bluesy &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Older Man,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt; can seem to drag at five minutes or longer, but the lyricism of these slower songs is not to be discounted.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?zyomotyegyq"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Try it&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/emmalee"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Myspace&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.last.fm/music/Emma-Lee"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Last.fm&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.emma-lee.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;Official Page&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;TRACKLIST&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;1.

Pero ademas hay una mezcla y arreglo de varios instrumentos mas que muestran el talento de la banda.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Quizas lo que mas destaca en ese album es la preciosa voz de Veronica que hace que siga siendo pop pero que no intenta ser algo mainstream, es mas inocente y honesto por asi decirlo, tambien la letras son parte fundamental del ambiente del grupo, canciones como: Charlie Im Through, A Thousand Jacobs y con la que abre el disco Song for Yannick demuestran esa versatilidad por parte de Veronica, la cual actua como una excelente Fron-woman y nunca quitandole poder a la musica.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Su segundo disco se titula "One Hundred Words for Water" y salio por Julio del año pasado, asi como sus compañeros de ciudad Land of Talk, Flotilla presenta canciones de Dream pop , quizas la inmediata similitud es con la banda americana Death Cab for Cutie pero las atmosferas y ritmos que incluyen van desde el folk, el jazz, el funk.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Flotilla es una de esas bandas a las cuales uno debe de estar atento porque sin duda daran de que hablar en el pais del norte.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-family:arial;" &gt;ENGLISH&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Flotilla which consists of Veronica herself: vocals, guitar, Geof Holbrook (her husband): bass, keyboards, electronics, vocals, Eveline Grégoire-Rousseau: harp and Benoit Monière : drums.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Veronica’s vocals bend and shift to mirror the textures the band creates. Even when the listen is refreshed by the spiked tempo of Clouds and the funky bridge of Charlie, I’m Through, she holds her own, acting as a front woman but never overpowering the music. Pitching a sound that includes folk, jazz, funk, atmospherics, minimal electronics and harp isn’t really an easy sell or one that can be described quickly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;One Hundred Words For Water is not your standard indie rock record and in today's cookie cutter world, that's terrific.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;(full review)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?iyaw22q4hik"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Try it&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/flotillamontreal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Myspace&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.last.fm/music/Flotilla"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;last.fm&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;TRACKLIST&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;1.

They have been playlisted on CBC Radio 3 and Bande à part, been featured in the soundtrack from the film "The Tracey Fragments," and have performed at Eurockéennes and the Osheaga Festival.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;Duchess Says was created in late 2003 by four influent members of the &lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/thechurchofbudgerigars"&gt;Church of Budgerigars&lt;/a&gt; who decided to collaborate together in a common musical project. Their goal was to insure a faithful representation of the message of the Duchess (or spiritual budgie) through a precise artistic dialog. Composed of A-Claude (vox, keytar, guit, programmations), Ismael (keyboard,guitar, programmations), Phil (guitar, bass,feedbacks) and Simon Says (lo-fi beats, drums and doubtful noises). Duchess Says is serving us a repertory of "moog rock" songs strong in images and enormoustly intense live performances!Their musical influences range from no wave, new wave, punk, to cinema and visual arts. If you pay attention, you could see them perform in the most unusual places such as golf courses, shop windows, vacant building sites etc.. Duchess Says has the mandate to decontextualise the rock and to promote simultaneously their Church on the way.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;Their new album (2008) is &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Anthologie des 3 Perchoirs&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; and here it is.

Ellos son &lt;b&gt;The Gertrudes&lt;/b&gt; con su reciente (y realmente es reciente porque salio este 7 de Agosto) EP llamado &lt;i&gt;Hard Water&lt;/i&gt;.  &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;La banda esta formada por 12 personas y usan varios instrumentos musicales pero quizas el mas atractivo y llamativo sea el Banjo tocado por Annie Clifford quien junto a Greg Tilson (vocalista) formaron a la banda gracias a un sueño que tuvo Annie. El resto fue sencillo y con el tiempo sacaron un EP homonimo de 4 canciones ya para este año &lt;i&gt;Hard Water&lt;/i&gt; sale a la venta y le ha ido bastante bien con la critica local. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Gertrudes&lt;/b&gt; suenan como un viejo saloon con mucha influencia folk y a pesar de que son 12 los que tocan en ningun momento se siente saturado de instrumentos, cada uno va donde debe de ir y a su tiempo, si tuviera que buscar una descripcion simplona seria como una orquesta folk. Ellos han producido un EP que es al mismo tiempo innovador y longevo. Su sonido esta simentado en la tradiciones folk pero filtrado atraves de su creatividad y talento, se podria decir que toman sus melodias folks a maravillosos e inesperados lugares.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;Espero lo disfruten y sobretodo les guste el track final que es una entrevista telefonica con Annie y donde ademas interpreta una version de Kansas con su banjo.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;ENGLISH&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;Now we go to Kingston, Ontario with a new group that is really amazing and melancolic thats because of their style and their music. They are &lt;b&gt;The Gertrudes&lt;/b&gt; with their recent (it is truly recent because was release august 7th) Ep called &lt;i&gt;Hard Water&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;The band quite simply came to be when Banjo Picking Annie told Guitar Picking Greg of a dream she had of a Gertrude. the rest is history. After that they record a self-titled EP and then their newest EP.  Despite having 12 members in the band, there is no jostling to be heard. Each instrument is used to its best effect, showing up when needed and retreating when not.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Gertrudes &lt;/b&gt;sound like an ol’ time saloon party in deep space… experimental noise beds with down home folk passengers, frolicking through original material, played by a veritable orchestra of instruments. They have produced an EP that is at the same time timeless and innovative. Their sound is rooted in folk tradition but, through their creativity and talent, they take their folky tunes into wonderful, unexpected places.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;I hope you enjoy it, especially the last track that is a Radio interview with Annie and a solo Banjo version of "Kansas".&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?kyuowimydgn"&gt;Try it&lt;/a&gt; (pass: canucksounds)&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;&lt;a href="http://zine.applecrisp.ca/the-gertrudes/"&gt;Webpage&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.last.fm/music/The+Gertrudes"&gt;Last.fm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/theothergertrudes"&gt;Myspace&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;TRACKLIST&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;01.

es otro colectivo pero de Sydney, Nova Scotia. Si en la entrada anterior el distintivo del grupo era un estilo como de coro de iglesia el de esta banda es como de una cantina llena de amigos y todo bebiendo run y tequila. La banda contiene una mezcla de instrumentos electricos y acusticos que incluyen desde el violin, el banjo y el acordeon hasta guitarras electricas,baterias y sampleos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El sonido es similar, mas no igual a bandas como &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;the Clash, the Pogues&lt;/span&gt; y a&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; the Arcade Fire y Broken social Scene&lt;/span&gt; pero quizas la mayor similitud es con&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; Tom Waits&lt;/span&gt; ya que la voz de Ian MacDougall (el vocalista y escritor) tiene similitud con la de Waits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La banda fue formada en el 2005 por el mismo Ian y durante un tiempo estuvieron actuando en diferentes partes de su natal Nova Scotia y despues se embarcaron en una gira por Irlanda y el Reino Unido, su album debut titulado &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;You Will Land with a Thud&lt;/span&gt; fue grabado con Gordon Gano quien es el vocalista y guitarrista del legendario grupo Violent Femmes por lo cual le dio una calidad y sello unico. Para el 2008, año en que salio su disco debut la banda gano premios en los 2008 Music Nova Scotia Awards por mejor Entertainer of the Year y Galaxy Rising Star que en si seria traducido como mejor show en vivo y artista nuevo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y si. La parte divertida es cuando se ven a estas 9 personas en el escenario cantando y divirtiendose como si estuvieran en alguna cantina o en alguna fiesta. Recordando al viejo Tom, y no me refiero a Tom Waits sino a la persona por la cual tienen este nombre y si uds. quieren saber de que me refiero tendran que esuchar el disco y quizas visitar la pagina oficial de este interesente grupo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Salud!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;ENGLISH&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Tom Fun Orchestra&lt;/span&gt; is an indie rock ensemble from Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada. The band features an unconventional mix of electric and acoustic instruments, including violin, banjo, accordion, trumpet, double bass, electric guitars and drums. With a sound that has elicited references ranging from &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Clash, Tom Waits and The Pogues to The Arcade Fire and Broken Social&lt;/span&gt; Scene, The Tom Fun Orchestra combines elements of folk, roots, blues, rock and punk to create a sound that is at once familiar yet entirely unique .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Tom Fun Orchestra was formed in 2005 by singer-songwriter Ian MacDougall. They have performed all over Central and Eastern Canada and toured throughout Ireland and the UK. The band recorded their debut album, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;You Will Land with a Thud&lt;/span&gt;, with Violent Femmes singer-guitarist Gordon Gano and record producer Warren Bruleigh. It was mixed by Phil Palazzola and mastered by Howie Weinberg and released January 29, 2008 on Company House Records (EMI Music Canada). At the 2008 Music Nova Scotia Awards, The Tom Fun Orchestra won awards for Entertainer of the Year and Galaxy Rising Star. In March, 2009, the band received its first East Coast Music Award with the ECMA Galaxy Rising Star Award.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Fun part is when you see this 9 people on stage, having fun if like they were in some pub or a party remember their good old friend Tom, and Im not talking about Tom Waits, I´m talkin about the person from who their took their band name, and if you want to know who is he, you´ll have to listen the record and probably gives them a visit the  official Webpage of this amazing band.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cheers!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?y2onjvigzog"&gt;try it (pass:canucksounds)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://tomfun.ca/"&gt;Webpage&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/tomfunorchestra"&gt;myspace&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.lastfm.es/music/The+Tom+Fun+Orchestra"&gt;las.fm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;TRACKLIST&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;01 - when you were mine&lt;br /&gt;02 - rum and tequila&lt;br /&gt;03 - throw me to the rats&lt;br /&gt;04 - watchmaker&lt;br /&gt;05 - marshall applewhite&lt;br /&gt;06 - last of the curious theives&lt;br /&gt;07 - highway siren song breakdown&lt;br /&gt;08 - heart attack in an old motel&lt;br /&gt;09 - tar pond tango&lt;br /&gt;10 - behind the fence&lt;br /&gt;11 - bottom of the river&lt;br /&gt;12 - you will land with a thud&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;VIDEO &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Un fragmento explicando el nombre y la banda en si. / &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;a video explain it the origin of the band´s name.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8v2lJMtNFsc&amp;amp;hl=es&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/8v2lJMtNFsc&amp;amp;hl=es&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0px;

originarios de Vancouver.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"&gt;El grupo es formado originalmente por Coco Culbertson miembro de The Gay y por Shane Turner quien es a su vez miembro de Love and Mathematics los demás integrantes son Larissa Loyva (&lt;b&gt;P:ano&lt;/b&gt; y de su proyecto en solitario &lt;b&gt;Kellarissa&lt;/b&gt;), Ida Nilsen (&lt;b&gt;Great Aunt Ida&lt;/b&gt; y &lt;b&gt;The Buttless Chap&lt;/b&gt;), Jenn Chycoski, Chris Kelly, Skat-T, Karin Bubas, Shira Blustein (&lt;b&gt;Blood Meridian&lt;/b&gt;), Sidney Vermont (&lt;b&gt;Hello Blue Roses&lt;/b&gt;), Naomi Nepham, Marcy Emery (&lt;b&gt;Heartbreaker Scene&lt;/b&gt;), Kurt Dahle (&lt;b&gt;Limblifter&lt;/b&gt; y &lt;b&gt;The New Pornographers&lt;/b&gt;), Olivia Fetherstonghaugh y Kristen Halliday. Cada uno de ellos pone una parte a esta agrupación. El estilo es pop pero con un estilo coral (de ahí el nombre) y tal cual parece como si escucharas un coro de iglesia, de hecho la idea y fue originalmente formado como una excusa para beber vino y juntarse con los amigos.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"&gt;Ellos lanzaron su álbum debut con Mint Records (de donde son la mayoría de los grupos de los integrantes) el 15 de Mayo del 2007 y atrajeron buena parte de los medios cuando &lt;b&gt;Jarvis Cocker&lt;/b&gt; los eligió para que abrieran su fecha en Vancouver.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"&gt;El Album incluye una versión de Failsafe de Carl Newman (&lt;b&gt;The New Pornographers&lt;/b&gt; y &lt;b&gt;A.C. Newman&lt;/b&gt;) la cual fue grabada y lanzada muchos meses antes que Carl lanzara su versión en el álbum &lt;i&gt;Challengers&lt;/i&gt; de &lt;b&gt;The New Pornographers&lt;/b&gt;, entonces si mucho preámbulo aquí les dejo esta joya o en su defecto joyas de músicos.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#C0C0C0;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?djzyozez3dx"&gt;try it&lt;/a&gt;

Son el sonido de estar atrapado en el agua. Son el sonido de tener veinte-tantos años y ser libre y descorazonado. Son los sonidos de esa ciudad tan hermosa y natural. &lt;b&gt;Said the Whale&lt;/b&gt; es una parte &lt;b&gt;Brian Wilson&lt;/b&gt;, una parte &lt;b&gt;Nick Cave&lt;/b&gt; y pedazos de &lt;b&gt;The Shins &lt;/b&gt;y &lt;b&gt;The Decemberists&lt;/b&gt;.

They are the sound of Vancouver's perpetually grey skies and snow topped mountains and the Lions Gate Bridge. The sound of being trapped by water on three sides and the Coastal Range on the fourth. The sound of being twenty-something and free and heartbroken. They are the sounds of a beatiful and calm city. &lt;b&gt;Said The Whale&lt;/b&gt; is one-part &lt;b&gt;Brian Wilson&lt;/b&gt;, one-part &lt;b&gt;Nick Cave&lt;/b&gt;, a dash of &lt;b&gt;the Shins&lt;/b&gt;, sprinkled with &lt;b&gt;the Decemberists&lt;/b&gt;. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt; Their debut album &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Taking Abalonia&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; was released in 2007.

Cooper (de otro grupo de Surf canadiense llamado &lt;b&gt;Huevos Rancheros&lt;/b&gt; y que eran toda una leyenda en Calgary) a llenar un lugar en una fecha que se aproximaba. Brent reunió al Bajista Scott Nickless y al baterista Tyler Pickering para completar el Line-up de su banda. Con unas pocas semanas los Ambassadors estuvieron tocando con importantes bandas del estilo musical y después preparandose para un álbum. Su álbum debut &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Avanti&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;El disco que les subo es &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Vista Cruiser Country Squire&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; que se posiciona firmemente entre un "Psychobilly fenomenal" y "Erase una vez en el Oeste" así como lo leen. Es un álbum con sonidos vintage  que hacen que  sea genial y novedosa. Especialmente por un genero que no es tan común en el país de la hoja de mapple.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;Escuchenlos! les aseguro que estarán bailando desde el primer track.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;ENGLISH&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" white-space: pre-wrap; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;A radical change this day, now with a little of surf-rock.

Cooper (of surf-punkers Huevos Rancheros) to fill an upcoming opening slot. Brent recruited bassist Scott Nickless and drummer Tyler Pickering to complete the line-up. Within a few weeks, the Ambassadors were playing with another importants bands and then, they began to prepare for &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Avanti&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, their debut album. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" white-space: pre-wrap; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt; The album that I upload is &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Vista Cruiser Country Squire&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; lands firmly between "Psychobilly Freakout" and "Once Upon a Time In the West." Yeap. Thats right. Is an album with vintage sounds that make it to be great and fresh. Especially coming from a country where that kind of genre is not usual.  Listen them!

Usualmente se refieren a ellos como una banda de hardcore, metalcore, death punk y heavy metal, tambien mencionan que tienen influencias de Stoner rock, Metal sureño, sludge metal y un poco de groove metal.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;Originalmente la banda fue formada en Mayo del 2004, con el cantante Liam Cormier y el guitarrista Scott Middleton, quien era miembro de la banda  de heavy metal de Toronto &lt;b&gt;At the mercy of inspiration&lt;/b&gt;.

Referente a los nombres para la banda ambos consideraban las propuestas de Cancer Bats y Pneumonia Hawk despues de decidir que la combinación de una enfermedad y un animal darian un buen nombre (quizás son amigos de &lt;b&gt;AIDS wolf &lt;/b&gt;otra banda canadiense)&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;El 2 de Junio del 2006 salio su primer album titulado &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Birthing the Giant,&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; el cual salió con una disquera pues Mayor. el álbum incluye vocales invitadas de George Pettit de &lt;b&gt;Alexisonfire&lt;/b&gt;. Despues de eso la banda lanzo su segundo álbum, &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Hail Destroyer &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;en Abril del 2008. El álbum ahora contiene vocales invitadas de Wade Macneil de &lt;b&gt;Alexisonfire&lt;/b&gt; y &lt;b&gt;Black Lungs&lt;/b&gt;, las de McIrath de &lt;b&gt;Rise Against&lt;/b&gt; y de Benjamin Kowalewicz de &lt;b&gt;Billy Talent&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;La banda es fuerte y directa nada que ver con otras bandas que circulan hoy en día, no por nada la prestigiada revista Kerrang! le dio la calificación de KKKKK la mayor que da en sus reseñas a su disco &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Hail Destroyer&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; y también la misma calificacion a su tour en UK. Ademas también la banda fue nominada para album del año 2008 en los premios Kerrang! de ese mismo año. El álbum que subimos es el mas reciente; &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Hail Destroyer&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;! luego subiremos el anterior a este mismo.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;ENGLISH&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;Like the amazing &lt;b&gt;Comeback Kid&lt;/b&gt; and their friends &lt;b&gt;Alexisonfire&lt;/b&gt;, This is one of my favorite hardcore bands ever, the band is &lt;b&gt;Cancer Bats.&lt;/b&gt;  They are usually referred to as a hardcore, metalcore, death punk and heavy metal band, and have also been referred to as having influences from stoner rock, southern metal, sludge metal and groove metal. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;Cancer Bats&lt;/b&gt; originated in May 2004 with singer Liam Cormier and guitarist Scott Middleton, former member of Toronto heavy metal band &lt;b&gt;At The Mercy Of Inspiration&lt;/b&gt;.The two wanted to form a project that combined their favorite parts of bands like &lt;b&gt;Refused, Black Flag, Led Zeppelin&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;Down&lt;/b&gt;, among others. The story is that the band considered the names Cancer Bats and Pneumonia Hawk after deciding that a combination of illness and animal name would give the best band name (maybe they are friends of &lt;b&gt;AIDS wolf&lt;/b&gt; another canadian band).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;On June 2, 2006. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Birthing The Giant&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; their first album was released into major record stores. The album includes guest vocals by George Pettit of Alexisonfire. After that, the band released their second studio album called &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Hail Destroyer&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; on April 22, 2008. The album features guest vocals by Wade MacNeil of &lt;b&gt;Alexisonfire&lt;/b&gt; and Black Lungs, McIlrath of &lt;b&gt;Rise Against&lt;/b&gt; and Benjamin Kowalewicz of &lt;b&gt;Billy Talent&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;The band is hard and direct, not even close with anothers bands today.  The magazine Kerrang! gave their album &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Hail Destroyer &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;a KKKKK review (highest possible) as well as a 5k Live review on their headlining UK tour. &lt;b&gt;Cancer Bats&lt;/b&gt; were also nominated for 2008 Album of the Year for the 2008 Kerrang! awards.

The album shows interesting stuff like the remix of a song of &lt;b&gt;Fly Pan Am&lt;/b&gt;, then comes the heart of the album;  slow loops and beats, that floats around and create a mix of melodic figures and harmonic tunes.

El alias &lt;b&gt;K-os&lt;/b&gt; se pronuncia Caos y es un acrónimo para "Conocimiento por uno mismo" (Knowledge of Self) aunque en entrevistas posteriores ha dicho que también solía significar "El Sonido Original de Kheaven" - El verdadero nombre de k-os es Kheaven-. Inspirado por &lt;b&gt;Michael Jackson, A Tribe Called Quest, The Beatles, The Roots&lt;/b&gt; y &lt;b&gt;Stevie Wonder,&lt;/b&gt; su música incorpora una gran variedad de generos musicales nunca limitando solo al rap sino también el funk, el rock y el reggae. Sus letras siempre frecuentan enfocarse en "un mensaje positivo" que aveces expresa una critica hacia la obsesión de la cultura hip hop mainstrean por el dinero, la fama y la glorificación de la violencia.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;Lo mejor es que&lt;b&gt; k-os&lt;/b&gt; no solo se dedica a cantar sino que el en ocasiones toca la guitarra el piano ya sea tanto en el estudio como en actos en vivo. En abril del 2009 empezó el Karma Tour alrededor de Canadá. Lo mas interesante es que para la gira, no hubo venta de boletos. Simplemente se les pedía a los fans que donara lo que ellos consideraban que valía el show, y lo hacían al dejar el venue.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Yes! &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;es el cuarto álbum de &lt;b&gt;k-os&lt;/b&gt; y realmente es una joya con canciones bastante buena e invitados de calidad como en &lt;i&gt;Uptown Girl&lt;/i&gt; que cuenta con vocales invitadas de Emily Haines de &lt;b&gt;Metric&lt;/b&gt; y Murray Lightburn de &lt;b&gt;The Dears&lt;/b&gt;, el disco es una muestra de la buena calidad canadiense en cuanto a hip hop se refiere.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;ENGLISH&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;Just one more day to know the short list for the nominees of the &lt;a href="http://www.polarismusicprize.ca/"&gt;Polaris Music Prize&lt;/a&gt; after that they will reveal not only the 10 nominated albums but also details of the award gala happening Sept. 21. Here in this blog after that announce we´ll focus to other artist and genres. Some bands have been recommend by you -dear readers- and for that I thank YOU. I appreciate.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;Well in this occasion we make another turn and now we move to Hip Hop, right from Toronto, Ontario. K-os is his name, and the album is &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Yes!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. The alias "&lt;b&gt;k-os&lt;/b&gt;" (spelled with a lower case "k"), is pronounced "chaos" and is an acronym for "Knowledge of Self" although in a later interview he also said that it used to stand for "Kheaven's Original Sound." Inspired by &lt;b&gt;Michael Jackson, A Tribe Called Quest, The Beatles, The Roots&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;Stevie Wonder&lt;/b&gt; his music incorporates a wide variety of music genres including but not limited to rap, funk, rock, and reggae. His lyrics frequently focus on promoting a "positive message" while at times expressing criticism of mainstream hip hop culture's obsession with money, fame and glorification of violence.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;The spectacular about &lt;b&gt;k-os&lt;/b&gt; is that he does not only sing, he sometimes plays guitar and keyboard both during live performances and in the studio.In April 2009, &lt;b&gt;k-os&lt;/b&gt; began the groundbreaking Karma Tour across Canada. For this tour, no advance tickets are sold. Fans are simply asked to donate what they think the show was worth as they leave the venue. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Yes!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; is the fourth album and really is fabulous with songs with a great quality and with special guests like Emily Haines from &lt;b&gt;Metric&lt;/b&gt; and Murray Lightburn from&lt;b&gt; the dears&lt;/b&gt; in the track &lt;i&gt;Uptown Girl&lt;/i&gt; and Saukrates and Nelly Furtado on &lt;i&gt;I Wish I Knew Natalie Portman&lt;/i&gt;. Definitely &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Yes!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; is a good sample of good Canadian hip hop.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Viajó de niña por distintos lugares de Norteamérica y a los 13 años cantaba en cafés de San Francisco. A los 19 años se mudo a Montreal en Canadá y canto por 5 años en bares, donde desarrollo el material que eventualmente se convertiría en su primer álbum, &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;La Llorona&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; que salió en 1997, gracias a ese disco gano el Premio Canadiense Juno para Mejor artista Global, esto en el año 1998. Despues de algunos años de estar de tour alrededor de Europa volvio a Montreal para producir su segundo álbum, &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;The Living Road&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, que incluyo canciones en Ingles, Francés y Español (mientras que &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;La Llorona&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; esta enteramente cantada en Español).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;Su tercer Album titulado &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Lhasa&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; fue lanzado en Abril del 2009 en todo Canadá y Europa. En esta ocasión esta todo en Ingles y como en sus previos discos el álbum es maravilloso, de cierta manera muy clásico, como una mezcla de blues folk, jazz y country. Realmente impactante, No es un disco que le guste a algunos pero es altamente recomendable.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;ENGLISH&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;This ocassion a Mexican Surprise, well a singer with Mexican roots and with a excelent career in Canada, Im talking about &lt;b&gt;Lhasa de Sela.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;Lahsa de Sela&lt;/b&gt; also known as simply &lt;b&gt;Lhasa&lt;/b&gt;, is a Mexican American singer and songwriter who was raised in Mexico and the United States and now she divides her time between Canada and France.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;Lhasa&lt;/b&gt; was born in Big Indian, New York, of a Mexican father and an American mother.At age nineteen she moved to Montreal in Canada, and sang for five years in bars, where she developed the material that eventually became her first album, &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;La Llorona&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, released in 1997. thanks to that record she won the Canadian Juno Award for Best Global Artist, in 1998. After some years touring across Europe she returned to Montreal to produce her second album, &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;The Living Road&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, that included songs in English, French and Spanish. (While &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;La Llorona&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; had been entirely in Spanish).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;Her third album &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Lhasa&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; was released in April 2009 in Canada and Europe. This ocassion is all in english, and like her previous records the album is wonderful, very clasic in some kind of way, like a mix of blues folk, jazz and country.

Asi que ahora les presento a &lt;b&gt;Martha Wainwright&lt;/b&gt; con su disco &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;I Know You're Married But I've Got Feelings Too.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;Martha Wainwright&lt;/b&gt; (nacida el 8 de Mayo del 76) es una cantante y compositora de folk-rock, ella es Americo-canadiense y ademas es la hija del musico de Folk/blues &lt;b&gt;Loudon Wainwright III&lt;/b&gt; y la cantante de folk &lt;b&gt;Kate McGarrigle&lt;/b&gt; (como ven la musica la tiene en las venas). Junto a su hermano mayor, &lt;b&gt;Rufus Wainwright&lt;/b&gt; (les suena?) fue criada en Montreal, en una casa con un ambiente totalmente lleno de musica que le sirvio para desarrollar su creatividad musical.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;El estilo de Wainwright ha sido describido como una mezcla de Folk, rock, country y cantos Chanson (Chanson es un término francés, que en español se refiere a cualquier canción con letra en francés y, más específicamente, a piezas vocales de tema amoroso, y también a las de crítica social y política, en particular las pertenecientes al estilo de los cabarets. En este contexto se llama chansonnier al intérprete de canciones de carácter humorístico o satírico.) La inspiracion Folk viene naturalmente y sin esfuerzo minimo por que Wainwright nacio dentro de una familia de musicos de folk.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;I Know You're Married But I've Got Feelings Too&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; es su album mas reciente, cuenta con 14 canciones, 12 originales y covers de &lt;i&gt;See Emily Play&lt;/i&gt; Original de &lt;b&gt;Pink Floyd&lt;/b&gt; y &lt;i&gt;Love Is a Stranger&lt;/i&gt; de &lt;b&gt;The Eurythmics&lt;/b&gt;. La version que subi contiene un track extra que solo fue lanzado en la tienda I.tunes de Australia. DISFRUTEN!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;ENGLISH&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;For the followin entrys we´ll talk about some genres that are not very popular but have very good records. So, in this ocassion I introduce you &lt;b&gt;Martha Wainwright&lt;/b&gt; with her album &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;I Know You're Married But I've Got Feelings Too&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;Martha Wainwright &lt;/b&gt;(born May 8, 1976) is a Canadian-American folk-rock singer-songwriter. She is the daughter of American folk/blues musician &lt;b&gt;Loudon Wainwright III&lt;/b&gt; and Canadian folk singer-songwriter &lt;b&gt;Kate McGarrigle&lt;/b&gt;. Along with her older brother, &lt;b&gt;Rufus Wainwright&lt;/b&gt;, Martha was raised in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, in a musically fueled household, an environment which helped nurture her musical creativity.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;Wainwright's style has been described as a melding of folk, rock, country, and chanson singing. (A chanson is in general any lyric-driven French song, usually polyphonic and secular. A singer specializing in chansons is known as a "chanteur"; a collection of chansons, especially from the late Middle Ages and Renaissance, is also known as a chansonnier.) The folk inspirations comes naturally and inescapably to Wainwright, as she was born into a family of folk musicians.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;I Know You're Married But I've Got Feelings Too&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; her recent album, is a 14-track album features 12 original tracks and cover versions of &lt;b&gt;Pink Floyd's&lt;/b&gt; "&lt;i&gt;See Emily Play&lt;/i&gt;" and, as a bonus track in some countries, &lt;b&gt;the Eurythmics&lt;/b&gt;' "&lt;i&gt;Love is a Stranger&lt;/i&gt;". The version I uploaded has a extra track that was only released in the I-tunes store of Australia.

y tambien por la blogoesfera por su álbum debut producido por &lt;a href="http://canucksounds.blogspot.com/2009/06/espanol-chad-vangaalen-oriundo-de.html"&gt;Chad VanGaalen.&lt;/a&gt; Los miembros han estado en otras bandas desde que eran adolescentes y como resultado los cuatro son capaces de lograr un denso noise experimental y instrumentación intrincada, con una delicada escritura melódica sin ningún problema alguno. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;Su álbum debut fue grabado por su amigo de disquera, el mismo &lt;a href="http://canucksounds.blogspot.com/2009/06/espanol-chad-vangaalen-oriundo-de.html"&gt;Chad VanGaalen&lt;/a&gt; durante 4 meses y usaron Ghettoblaster (grabadoras gigantes de los 80´s) y viejas cintas en el departamento de VanGaalen, también en exteriores. Quizás por eso es que el álbum suena totalmente orgánico y con muchas texturas. Un trabajo totalmente conceptual.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;ENGLISH&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;Despite their apparent youth as a band, Women have already toured across Canada, the US and Europe, and have been celebrated by &lt;a href="http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/12285-women/"&gt;Pitchfork&lt;/a&gt; and across the blogosphere for their &lt;a href="http://canucksounds.blogspot.com/2009/06/espanol-chad-vangaalen-oriundo-de.html"&gt;Chad VanGaalen&lt;/a&gt;-produced debut recording. The members have been in bands together since childhood, and as a result the foursome is able to marry dense experimental noise and intricate instrumentation with delicate, melodic songwriting in a seemingly effortless manner. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;The debut album by &lt;b&gt;Women&lt;/b&gt; was recorded by label-mate &lt;a href="http://canucksounds.blogspot.com/2009/06/espanol-chad-vangaalen-oriundo-de.html"&gt;Chad VanGaalen&lt;/a&gt; over 4 months on ghettoblasters and old tape machines in his basement, and also in outdoors. Maybe thats because the album sounds so organic and with many textures.

La banda saco dos ediciones EP edicion limitada el primero es &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;All Lies&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/b&gt;del 2007 y &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Lullaby Death Jams&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/b&gt;del 2008, su album debut y por el cual han llamado la atencion de los medios es &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Post-Nothing&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; que fue lanzado a mediados del 2009. Despues de eso fueron firmados en Polyvinil Records. De hecho su disco debut solo se puede conseguir en Vinyl  y digital, no CD pero eventualmente lo habra.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;A la banda  no le importa como le llames a su genero, mientras no sea minimal todo esta bien. &lt;b&gt;Japandroids&lt;/b&gt; son potentes un duo que pretende sonar como una banda de cinco integrantes.

The two met at the University of Victoria, originally intending to be a trio, they decided to forgo having a specific lead singer and share vocal duties. The band self-released two limited edition EPs, 2007's &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;All Lies&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; and 2008's &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Lullaby Death Jams&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. Their debut LP; &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Post-Nothing &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;was released mid-2009. They were subsequently signed to Polyvinyl Records. You can only find their debut album on Vinyl of Digital formats. No compact discs but eventually will be.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;the band don´t care what you call it, as long as it´s not minimal. &lt;b&gt;Japandroids&lt;/b&gt; are maximal - a two piece band trying to sound like a five piece band.

Durante sus veinte años salio al medio como uno de los primeros cantantes transgeneros  de country en el mundo e hizo un tour por su tierra natal, Europa, Australia y Estados Unidos. Cuando el obvio y creciente peligro de su "status" le tomo por sopresa se escondio en un pequeño pueblo de Alemania donde inspirado por eso, escribio un album de sus obscuras experiencias en Canada y sus lugares.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;superioryouareinferior&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; es su cuarto album, y el primero en dos años. Liricamente el  album es el mas revelante hasta la fecha, Su voz recorre las carreteras desde el Yukon hasta Newfoundland, cantando de ballenas que se han perdido, de lobos e nuestras imaginaciones, los grandes lagos, bailando con osos grizzlys y mas fascinantes temas.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;Musicalmente el cruza nuevos territorios desde el arte folk, el indie-rock, el electronico/experimental y el noise.

In his early twenties he hit the road as one of the world’s only transgender country singers and toured Canada, Europe, Australia and the USA. When the obvious dangers and contradictions of this role caught up to him he hid in a small town in Eastern Germany for a winter. There he was inspired to write an album about his darker experiences of Canada and it’s highways.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; font-family:Helvetica, -webkit-fantasy;"&gt;superioryouareinferior&lt;/span&gt; is Rae’s fourth solo album, and his first in over two years. Lyrically the album is his most revealing to date. His voice walks the highways from the Yukon to Newfoundland singing of whales that have gotten lost, the wolves in our imaginations, the Great Lakes, dancing with grizzlies and more fascinanting issues.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "&gt;Musically he traverses new territories from art folk, to indie-rock, to electronic/experimental and noise.

is an album of the times in that it doesn’t stick to one genre, but it retains &lt;b&gt;Rae&lt;/b&gt;’s respect for well written songs and his folk music roots that keep him connected to his audience.&lt;/p&gt;

Pero no es sorprender ya que dos figuras importantes forman a &lt;b&gt;Beast&lt;/b&gt;, la primera es  Jean-Philippe Goncalves percusionista y productor musical con una amplia carrera y la otra mitad es la grandiosa Betty Bonifassi, cantante de jazz, blues de cabaret y ahora electrónica,  como dato extra  Bonifassi participo en el film Les triplettes de Belleville con la canción principal (&lt;i&gt;Belleville Rendez-vous&lt;/i&gt;) y gracias a eso actúo en la 76 ceremonia de entrega de los oscares con dicha canción. el vídeo aqui &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNiXkCluLV4"&gt;-click- &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 16px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Verdana; min-height: 15px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 16px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Verdana; "&gt;Yo no conocía al dueto pero al escuchar su disco debut e investigar sobre ellos descubrí que realmente es increíble lo que hacen. De hecho cuando empezaron a hacer la música, ellos dos no tenian idea de lo que hacian y el resultado es un disco bastante adictivo. Una agradable sorpresa. Al seguir leyendo sobre el dueto, Bonifassi dice "quería cantar algo líricamente rico y poderoso".&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 16px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Verdana; min-height: 15px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 16px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Verdana; "&gt;El album debut homonimo salio internacionalmente en Itunes en noviembre y el primer sencillo "&lt;i&gt;Mr Hurricane&lt;/i&gt;" se lanzo gratuitamente en Itunes. Por cierto que esta copia que conseguí tiene algunas partes mudas en alguno de los tracks, no duran mucho pero si molestan ligeramente, en cuanto tenga una mejor copia la reemplazare, por lo pronto disfruten esta joya.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 16px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Verdana; min-height: 15px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 16px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Verdana; min-height: 15px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 16px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Verdana; min-height: 15px; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;ENGLISH&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 16px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Verdana; "&gt;To try to describe this duet from Montreal is something hard to do, they have been described as "an experimental hip-hop project filled with trip-hop-style down-tempo electronic, aggressive guitars and loud drum beats" or "trip rock" But is not a surprise, because two important persons form &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold; "&gt;Beast&lt;/span&gt;, the first one is Jean-Philippe Goncalves percussionist and record producer with a huge musical history and the other half is Betty Bonifassi, singer of jazz, cabaret blues and electronic. Bonifassi also collaborated on the soundtrack for the animated film Les Triplettes de Belleville; with the film's main song ("&lt;i&gt;Belleville Rendez-vous&lt;/i&gt;") and thanks to that she performed the song at the 76th Academy Awards ceremony.

In fact when they  started doing it. They had no idea either of what were doing, and the result is one addictive cd, A very amazing surprise. When I continue reading about them, Bonifassi says “I really wanted to sing something lyrically rich and powerful.”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 16px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Verdana; min-height: 15px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 16px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Verdana; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;Beast&lt;/b&gt;’s self-titled debut album was made available internationally on iTunes on Nov 4, 2008 and their first single, "&lt;i&gt;Mr. Hurricane"&lt;/i&gt;, was offered for free on iTunes. BTW this copy I get has some errors on some tracks, they do not last to long but they are annoying, as soon I found a better copy I will change it, for the moment, enjoy this.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px;

Quizás se deba a Pink Eyes (también conocido como Mr. Damian) el vocalista principal de la banda, un chico de 300 lbs de peso, quien deja toda su energía en cada acto que la banda hace. Su estilo de música es un hardcore experimental y fue formada en Toronto Ontario.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Arial; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Arial; "&gt;La historia de la banda esta llena de controversia, desde una enorme discográfica de Sencillos (cada uno con una o dos canciones) hasta el hecho de que mucha gente sospechaba de las intenciones de la banda, basados en las alusiones de control mental, fascismo, ocultismo del siglo 20 y misticismo Nazi. pero no todo es malo en la historia del grupo, hay algunas cosas buena, el álbum doble &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Hidden World &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;(2006) recibió reseñas positivas en &lt;a href="http://pitchfork.com/"&gt;Pitchfork media&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.spinmagazine.com/"&gt;SPIN magazine&lt;/a&gt; y &lt;a href="http://www.nowtoronto.com/"&gt;NOW Magazine&lt;/a&gt;. El álbum fue seleccionado como "álbum punk numero uno del año" por la aclamada revista Canadiense Exclaim! y fue bien recibido por la comunidad musical.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Arial; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Arial; "&gt;Ademas, Owen Pallet (comúnmente conocido como &lt;b&gt;Final Fantasy&lt;/b&gt;) hizo los arreglos de cuerda en el album y el vocalista de &lt;b&gt;Alexisonfire&lt;/b&gt;, George Pettit hizo una aparición como vocalista invitado en el track final del disco. El disco sirvió como el debut de la banda para una disquera importante.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Arial; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Arial; "&gt;Esta vez la banda ha sido nominada para el &lt;a href="http://www.polarismusicprize.ca/"&gt;Polaris&lt;/a&gt; por su álbum  T&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;he Chemistry of Common Life&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, uno de los mejores álbumes punks del 2008. así que...no tengo que decirles mas acerca de esta banda. ESCUCHENLA AHORA MISMO!!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Arial; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Arial; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Arial; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;ENGLISH&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Arial; "&gt;What can I tell you about &lt;b&gt;Fucked Up&lt;/b&gt;? Truly is one of the most shocking and powerful live acts ever. Maybe that`s because of Pink eyes (also known as Mr. Damian) the lead vocalist of the band, a guy of 300 lbs who leaves all his energy in every performance the band make. The band was formed in Toronto, Ontario and their music style is an experimental hardcore.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Arial; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Arial; "&gt;The history of the band is full of controversy, from a long discography of 7" and 12" Ep´s (each with one or two songs) to the fact that many people became suspicious of the band’s intentions, based on their allusions to mind control, fascism, early 20th century occultism, and Nazi mysticism.  But not everything is bad in the history of the group, there are some good things, the double album &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Hidden World &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;(2006) received positive reviews from &lt;a href="http://pitchfork.com/"&gt;Pitchfork media&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.spinmagazine.com/"&gt;SPIN magazine&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="http://www.nowtoronto.com/"&gt;NOW Magazine&lt;/a&gt;. The album was also picked as “1 punk album of the year” by the Canadian magazine Exclaim! and was generally well received in the music community. Also, Owen Pallett (commonly known as &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Final Fantasy&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;) did the strings for the album, and &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Alexisonfire’s&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; vocalist George Pettit made an appearance as a guest vocalist on the final track. The album served as &lt;b&gt;Fucked Up’s&lt;/b&gt; “major label debut”.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Arial; min-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Arial; "&gt;This time the band has been nominate to the &lt;a href="http://www.polarismusicprize.ca/"&gt;Polaris&lt;/a&gt; for his album &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Chemistry of Common Life&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; one of the best punk albums of 2008. so...I dont have to tell you more about this band.

y salio en Octubre del 2008. Ellos iniciaron en el 2006, al año siguiente fue cuando grabaron  &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Deadlines&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; un EP de seis canciones el cual mostro el rock blues con una mezcla de rock moderno, como lo menciona “Springsteenesque” rock (referencia a Bruce Springsteen).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"&gt;Desde la salida de &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Deadlines&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; han viajado alrededor de Canada haciendose de mas adeptos y fans y compartiendo el escenario con varias bandas importantes. Sin duda este grupo vale la pena tenerlo en la mira, su futuro es prometedor.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"&gt;Track escencial: &lt;i&gt;The Ballad of Hugo Chavez&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000099;"&gt;ENGLISH&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Arkells&lt;/b&gt; is ona of my favorite bands in the last days, they are from Hamilton, Ontario, and they played something like rock but is not like the usual one, their debut album it´s called &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Jackson Square&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; and it was release on October 2008. Arkells started in 2006 the following year recorded their debut EP called &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Deadlines&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;, six songs on that EP showcasesh the rock blues style blending of modern rock and a "Springsteensque" rock.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"&gt;Since the release of &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Deadlines&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; the band has traveled across Canada, gaining more fans and sharing stages with importants bands, Without a doubt this group deserves more attention because they have a bright future ahead.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;
