YOUNG GALAXY
Young Galaxy's eponymous debut album swooned its way into the hearts and minds of Canadian music fans in 2007 and the band are currently bracing for a
hopeful encore. Invisible Republic is the working title of the Young Galaxy's sophomore disc.. For more click

SCHOMBERG FAIR
We've already told you The Schomberg Fair are a wild party, but sometimes the best window into the soul of a band is to let the members speak for themselves.
And so we sat back and let the tape recorder do the talking as the Fair's Matt Bahen (vocals, guitar, banjo) and Nate Sidon (bass, vocals) chatted... For more click

CHAD VANGAALEN
It doesn't take much to figure out that Chad VanGaalen is a borderline death-obsessed hermit. That's part of why we here at CHARTattack think it's pretty special that he'll be playing our
Canadian Music Week showcase on March 12. For more click

WOMEN
The release of Women's self-titled, noise-rocking debut last July has generated as much buzz about the young band as there is tape hiss on their album. And for those of you who
haven't heard it, that's a hell of a lot. For more click

DELINQUINTS
Toronto's Delinquints come by their name naturally, considering their classic punk and rawk vibe. Besides, calling themselves We Like Bad Religion Records And
Tripping Old Ladies is a bit too wordy and contemporary emocore a naming convention for their sound. For more click

HEXES & OHS
Montreal's Hexes & Ohs are the cutest couple band in indie rock. The duo knows how to bust a groove and make the first move. CHARTattack spoke with Edmund Lam. For more click

THE LOVELY FEATHERS
The Lovely Feathers released their Hind Hind Legs album to great acclaim in 2006, but the Montreal-based quintet disappeared from the indie rock radar
after a few short tours. For more click

THE HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS
The Hundreds And Thousands are gearing up for the release of their debut full-length in May. Singer/guitarist Ian LeFeuvre took a timeout to talk with
CHARTattack about his days in Starling and a recent stint as a harpist. For more click

BLACK HAT BRIGADE
We know that only the strongest survive to party late into an evening, so CHARTattack is pleased to know the uncompromising math-noise fury of Brampton/Toronto
rockers Black Hat Brigade will bookend our Friday night Canadian Music Week showcase at the Horseshoe Tavern. For more click

VANCOUGAR
Vancougar are perhaps best described as a pastiche of some of the greatest eras in lady-rock. They meld spunky '80s-influenced songwriting with '60s girl
group vocals and retro, fuzzed-out bass and keyboards. For more click

GENTLEMAN REG
Gentleman Reg released his long-awaited fourth album, Jet Black, on Feb. 24. The disc is the man born Reg Vermue's first album since 2004's Darby & Joan and is a return to his brand
of upbeat indie pop. For more click

DEAN LICKYER
In a world of metalcore, mathcore, screamo-core and whatever-the-fuck-else-core, sometimes you just want to go back to a simpler rock 'n' roll time and place. For Dean Lickyer,
that place is apparently a Hamilton, Ont. basement rec room. For more click

HANDSOME FURS
Handsome Furs' Plague Park debut is only two years old, but the duo are already poised to return to the indie spotlight with the help of their sophomore album, Face Control,
which is due out on March 10. For more click here.
QUEST FOR FIRE
Quest For Fire are composed of former members of acclaimed acts The Deadly Snakes and Cursed. They blew minds and speakers with the powerful psychedelic stoner rock on their 2008 eponymous debut.

HOT PANDA
With the recent release of their Volcano... Bloody Volcano full-length debut on Mint Records, Hot Panda are no longer only press-worthy for their unique vehicle choices and practice spaces.
The band are kicking off a six-week tour to promote the disc at Canadian Music Week...
