A Toronto band that mixed folk, rock, and Indigenous influences across the 1990s and 2000s.
For a quick sense of their vibe, 'Autumn On Drugs' and 'Rain Will Fall' from their catalog do the job. They have that hazy, driving quality that feels like their signature.
They weren't just another Canadian rock band. Songs like 'No-cona' directly addressed Indigenous community issues, giving their sound a specific gravity you don't hear everywhere. That track became a significant one for them, and it's why their catalog feels more grounded than a lot of their peers'.
They formed in Toronto in 1990. Their debut 'Scenery & Fish' went triple platinum in Canada in 1993, and they kept releasing albums through the 2000s, including 'Blue Green Orange' and 'The Quicksilver Meat Dream'.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
