Why do Wolf Parade sound so much like poor man's Arcade Fire?

That song is pretty damn good though... I'm leaning towards them so far

You mean "I'll Believe in Anything", right?

Wolf Parade of course! [even though I may have chose CC]. Apologies To The Queen Mary is a phenomenal record. That song up there "I'll Believe In Anything" should be known everywhere by now, it's an ultimate indie anthem and it's better than any individual song Arcade Fire or Broken Social Scene have written 😄

Also fun Story: the album got it's name from an incident that involved the band breaking down the ballroom doors and staging a violent seance aboard the good ship "Queen Mary".

This is impossible 🧱

The Canadian inside me knows that Rush is the right thing to do.
The teenager inside me knows that Crystal Castles is the right thing to do.
The hipster inside me knows that Wolf Parade is the right thing to do.

🧱

And ironically, I haven't heard either of these 3 albums in their entirety 🤣 , but the 5-6 songs I know from each of them are amazing.

I might just abstain 🤔

I actually find this one to be pretty damn hard... I'm gonna have to think about it for a bit.

Remember, this tournament should allow you to listen to great Canadian music you may not have otherwise heard, so please take the opportunity to discover these great albums which have been nominated.
