We know that despite the valiant efforts of DOA, Voivod, BTO, Fucked Up, the Guess Who, Swollen Members, Career Suicide, Skinny Puppy, and Godspeed, most people's reflexive association with "Canadian Rock" is still somewhere in the neighborhood of Kim Mitchell.To help stamp out this bigotry and foster a better worldview of CanCon for those of you who aren't subjected to it 1/4 of the times you turn on the radio, we asked DJ Rick Ele of KDVS's Art For Spastics to make us a little mixtape of who's rocking oot up North these days, fuck.
