SoundPicks: Canadian Music Week's Top Five Acts You Can't Miss! - by Cody McGraw - The Acorn @ The Horseshoe Thursday March 6 Since releasing Glory Hope Mountain last year as a follow-up to their incredible EPs, this Ottawa band has made waves throughout Canada. Don't miss one of Canada's best live bands as they blow the roof off a legendary venue with their introverted tracks no one can help but love. Hot Springs @ Sneaky Dee's March 7 There's a reason this band is playing the SoundProof showcase, be sure to come out and see why. The idiosyncratic vocals of Giselle Webber should get you there, and the thrilling tracks will be enough to keep you listening. Fox Jaws @ Rancho Relaxo Saturday March 8 Fox Jaws is the kind of band that is so infectious you can't help but want to see them succeed. It's sure to be an amazing live show. Jenn Grant @ The Rivoli Saturday March 8 With the buzz from 2007 still fresh on this P.E.I. songstress, Jenn Grant must know everyone expects big things from her. Her voice is quiet, yet powerful, but most of all, beautiful. She will surely rise above the other songstresses and be one of the best parts of this festival. The Breeders @ The Phoenix Saturday March 8 The most anticipated moment of the festival may be the return of the amazing Deal sisters and their band The Breeders. Many thought they'd never tour again, but here they come. This is may be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so I suggest getting there early if you want to get in.
