Are these bands any good?
Only one I listen to on a regular basis is the Tragically Hip. Wondering if you can give me some good songs from these bands. Going to PEI for Canada Day weekend and these bands are playing. Thanks

Sam Roberts and Matt Mays are both great. The first three aren't awful but they are nothing that special. The Hip always put on a good show.
You can listen to some of Matt Mays stuff New Music Canada. I'd check out Cocaine Cowgirl.

All of the Tragically Hip albums up to Phantom Power are excellent.

Three Days Grace has a new cd coming out in July....there single is suppose to be "Animal I have Become". On their previous release they had a lot of radioplay for "I hate everything about you" and "Just Like You"
Theory of a deadman is a straight rock/alternative band. I'm not sure about their new cd..never listened to it but I believe "No Surprise" was suppose to be the single. From their old cd, I really enjoyed "Make up your mind". But this band was co-produced by Chad Kroeger from Nickelback...so..take that for what it's worth.
Hedley...Pop-punk...nothing new....

I love the Hip, and sure they're stuff post PP has been a little different, but I find it just as good still. Music @ Work took me about 12 listens through to start to like, but now I really dig that album. And the newer works are decent too.
I suggest picking up the "Yer Favorites" CDs for a whirlwind tour of hip tunes.

I'm a huge fan of The Hip, and I like what I've heard out of Sam Roberts so far. There are no bad Hip albums, only albums that aren't as great as the previous one.
I imagine the size of the crowd (and venue) at Hip shows in Canada are insane compared to the shows here...I doubt they drew more than 500 people at Newport Music Hall in Columbus on the Music@Work tour.

Theory of a Dead Man is alright..I met them after the show, they always sign autographs....They are nothing special, but if you love that kind of music they are really good at it.

Hedley - lead singer is Jacob Hoggard, who came third in the last Canadian Idol I think. Best known song is "On Our Own"
Theory of a Deadman - Chad Kroeger of Nickelback helped get them discovered. Not really my type of music. Not that familiar with them.
3 Days Grace - most popular song is "Everything About You". It hit the US Top 40 a year or two ago I believe.
Tragically Hip - Too many songs to mention, but my faves include 38 Years Old, New Orleans Is Sinking, Little Bones, Blow At High Dough, Wheat Kings, and Grace, Too.
Sam Roberts Band - Just released a new album that I haven't heard (Chemical City). Best known songs from their first CD were Don't Walk Away Eileen, Brother Down, and Where Have All The Good People Gone?
Matt Mays & El Torpedo - Pretty big here in Atlantic Canada, but I don't really know much about them

Hedley / Theory of a Deadman / 3 Days Grace are all pretty standard radio-rock. You'll like 3DG if you like Finger Eleven, you'll like Theory if you like Nickelback/Default, and you'll like Hedley if you like other pop-punk like Blink 182.
Tragically Hip is pretty good, although I haven't really enjoyed their newest albums.
Sam Roberts puts on a good show. Definitely check them out if you can.
Matt Mays & El Torpedo are friggin' awesome. They put on a fantastic show. Cocaine Cowgirl and On The Hood are great songs, among all the others.
