I know we talk about the Polaris Music Prize an awful lot here.
However, the shortlist for that prize has a long history of excellent music.
The OBGM's (Oooh Baby Gimme More) 3rd album, Sorry It's Over, was shortlisted for the Polaris Prize last year, and is nominated for a JUNO award this weekend. The album is an angry and noisy sonic masterpiece, and you should check it out.
The band got a big break from an audition for a Budweiser ad, when the black Canadian-fronted band went from being booked for "urban" gigs to punk festivals.
I mentioned that they were black Canadian-fronted. In the video above, you saw Densil McFarlane.
In this live video, you can see that they're a Canadian punk band and no other adjective matters.
