Silversun Pickups - The Royal We
Man, the SSPU/Muse show in March is going to be huge. This song is also huge. That’s why we’re playing it. That’s all I have to say about it.
Miike Snow - Sylvia
Miike Snow isn’t a person. It’s actually a band from Sweden (the reason behind the two I’s in Miike), and they’re one of the dozens of incredible bands playing the Coachella music festival in April. You could see them with another Get The Hell Outta Here in a few weeks. PS - This is the greatest song ever recorded.
Crash Kings - Mountain Man
A band with no guitars? Crash Kings are a three-piece band that make super textured music with just keys, bass and drums. They succeed in “rocking” without steretypical “rock” instruments.

The Temper Trap -Sweet Disposition
You may have heard this song in a movie from last summer, 500 Days of Summer. They’re an Australian group that released their first album last June. It’s called Conditions.
Billy Talent - Saint Veronika
Last year’s headliners from Sonic Boom keep churning out huge songs from their third album, Billy Talent III. We’re working on a meet and greet with the boys before their Rexall Place show on March 15th.
Alexisonfire - The Northern
A totally different direction from St. Catharine’s finest, as Dallas Green, George Pettit and Wade Macneil split vocals on this dark, brooking song. AOF open for Billy Talent on March 15th, and it looks likely that we’ll be hosting them in the listener lounge beforehand. I hope we have earplugs.
