(18 posts)I'm glad you enjoyed! He's well known in Canada, but not really anywhere else. He's a proud Torontonian, and never tried to break into any other market. Just a guy who seriously only cares about music. Here's his instagram. https://www.instagram.com/thornicus/
lots of videos of him just jamming. He absolutely just loves playing guitar. And also just a nice down to earth guy.
Head Together and A Million Days are two of my new favourites, its from the album Albatross.. which I had only started getting into in the past year. Its a great album, and all new to me. But my very favourite from the album is Control... damn... I crank that shit full blast in my car (I have a nice stereo), and I throw it on repeat and scream my lungs out
I have literally lost my voice to that song! And practically given myself whiplash during that SICK riff ahaha!
The mid/late '90s Canadian rock scene was super awesome back in the day, and there were a bunch of artists who toured together, and got huge radio play in Canada. I'm not sure if many American's know what I am talking about, but during the late 90s early '00s we had some real serious talent here. Many of those bands have recently gotten back together -- Big Wreck disbanded for a decade, as Ian went solo for two albums. So here are some Canadian rock bands to give a listen to... bluesy hard rock has always been big here.
I'll throw down some other bands here you'll probably enjoy as well...
