Heard & saw almost all of em. Grew up in Buffalo, NY-USA we got cross border radio/TV . So thankful.
Mmm, nice, safe little powerpop bands of the era. Never heard of any of them...
Echo Beach will always be a place that I would like to live my life.
Me too.
Canada is the heart Of Alternative
As a Canadian this era is often not talked about as much as US or UK indie acts so this puts these artists in a new light for me
@@MoreMusicShows I recognize most of the names but other than Slow I never gave them a listen or gave them much thought. It makes sense they had a impact back in the day it just wasn't really in what most people even from canada talk about.
ive watched 3 or 4 of these and cant believe teenage head is not mentioned once

"We didn't go looking for a record deal, it came knocking on our door" Well with a song like that it'd better come knocking! Echo Beach is one of the most infectious songs EVER written. Great vid!
Does Skinny Puppy not fit into this somewhere?
KD Lang has one of the most amazing voices ever . . . I saw her when she first started up - she played a few Klondike Days parade/festivals in downtown Edmonton - great stuff.
Those are some great bands and music we have. Glad you spoke about Nash, wish you had expanded to his time in FM.
Chalk Circle?
You forgot Platinum Blonde.
So glad I found this! In the 80s, I saw a special on Canadian bands on the show Night Flight. It featured artists like Dennis Cameron, Platinum Blonde, Helix, April Wine, Honeymoon Suite, Doug and the Slugs, etc. For years I have been looking for ways to "discover" great Canadian music that was never heard in America. Oddly though, I've had a really hard time finding videos/documentaries etc. that actually show me bands that were basically huge in Canada, but unheard of in the States. Thank you for this!
@@MoreMusicShows I wish someone had pointed a camera at The Sharks, who played punk friendly venues like Larry's Hideaway, The Edge and The El Mocambo in the late 70's very early 80's until Sherry Kean went solo.
I have only ever been to Canada for two days and that was back in the eighties. I was in a Halifax and we went to a nightclub and saw Sharron and the Spoons. I don't know if that was the Spoons on this video
That was a fun stroll. I was in England for a few weeks in 1980 and remember Echo Beach being played all the time.
Also, TPOH was (is?) a fantastic band. Hard to Laugh is a great song.
I wasn't into most of these band, but I sure remember the songs. Cool clips.
I remember sharing a rehearsal space at Studio City in Edmonton with Moe and his band and Jr. Gone Wild and Idyl Tea . . . and there was probably a couple of other bands using the same space . . . those were the salad days.
Carol pope of roughtrade you can kiss my whip,slow down carol kiss my whip
Very few of us get the reference
That first one by slow is very captain beefheart
I have always thought that Nomeansno is a Canadian band.
Yup, from Victoria. Along with the Dayglo Abortions, another popular Victoria band from the early 80's
Where are they all now? Canada spawned a lot of one hit wonders.
High School Confidential for the win.
I'm An Adult Now close runner up.
As an American I loved the Kings, that song was so great, I remember rediscovering that song in the 90s great stuff. The Pursuit of Happiness I remember too. I still use the line "cheese eating schoolboy" on occasion, lol.
Why does have to be edited and choppy? Is it because of copyrights? The 60s documentary on Canadian music is uploaded fully on your channel it looks like... I wanna see the 70s and 80s one in their entirety... Without having to pay like 100 dollars for a DVD of a documentary I'm probably not going to watch more than once or twice.
Rough Trade was New Wave not R&B like that producer said.
I find it hard to believe anyone liked Echo Beach or High School Confidential. Those are both atrocious songs.
