Les Rats d’Swompe - Élixir Canadian New
Les Rats d’Swompe nous arrivent de la contrée de l’Ontario français. De par leur trad-rock festif encore plus assumé, on dit d'eux qu'ils sont de sympathiques gaillards, capables de mettre le feu aux pieds des festivaliers, par leur savant mélange de chansons traditionnelles canadiennes-françaises, de compositions originales et de reels de violoneux. Un spectacle avec une énergie à la fois sauvage et si attachante que la foule se lève à tout coup pour festoyer sans relâche.

To the River
Hemlock Hotel - s/t Canadian New
Angry Young Man
Hemlock Hotel - s/t Canadian New
Hemlock Hotel was born out of a common love for folk-rock. The Ottawa band is often described as having an "Americana" feel, but its roots tap deep into made-in-Canada music. They take inspiration from The Tragically Hip, Blue Rodeo, The Band, The Skydiggers, and The War on Drugs, to name a few. If you like maple syrup, you'll like these guys.
