Less CanCon

Less CanCon

While I'm on the topic of SLS11, it's worth noting there is less Canadian content on SLS11 than on any previous edition.  This is unfortunate but the way it worked out.  I'm a big fan of Canadian rock, but there simply wasn't enough quality tunage from Canada these past six months.

Mississauga's Billy Talent is represented with "The Ex" and Kingston's Tragically Hip are there with "Vaccination Scar" but that's it unless we label Metric as Canadian.  Metric is at least part Canadian, so we'll put the number of Canadian acts on SLS11 at three.

Three out of 23 is pathetic.  Where are the killer Canadian tracks?  As recently as SLS10 there were six Canadian bands represented.  SLS9 has six Canadian acts as well as did SLS8.  What gives?
