Music Monday: Canadian Rock

Last week Raine Maida releases his new Solo Album "We All Get Light." It's a really great album and it reminded me how great Canadian artists are. "We All Get Light" is packed with eight great songs and since it is only the eight songs there is really no filler on the album. 

Montreal, the first single from the album is a catchy tune ready for rock radio but the best songs on the album are How To Kill A Man and SOS.

Raine Maida - Montreal



Raine Maida - SOS (Live)


For those who may not now Raine Maida is the lead singer for Our Lady Peace who is one of my favorite rock bands. They have amazing live shows. I kind of stopped listening to them after Gravity which was not a good album but their newest album "Curve" is a return to form for them and was one the better albums released last year.

Even with the return of the old sound there best album was Clumsy. I still listen to the song "4am"because I can relate to it on a personal level.

Our Lady Peace - 4am
