B.S.S. has at least one member of just about every hyped Canadian indie band

Explosions seems super hyped, at least in Texas

Mogwai is considered defacto classic post-rock

so yes to all.

La Roux

That one song, about being bulletproof.

cheesy dubstep.

i'll never apologise.

i do like me some Fleet Foxes

since they came from out of nowhere to BAM! LOOK AT THIS FUCKING BAND in a really short instance, i'd say the word hype is in order

edit: they only released one album and they already got 2 million more plays on last.fm than Grizzly Bear

radiohead

tv on the radio

grizzly bear

animal collective

aphex

I'm really surprised at some people. lady gaga? paramore?

you're entitled to your opinion and I respect that, but I'd really like to know what you see in them.

i just got back from seeing paramore live. i am not in any way ashamed to say they were fucking awesome. i like them because they play 'fun' music with pretty melodies. i like nice melodic content in music, no matter what genre. plus they have so much energy onstage it's ridiculous. and hayley williams sure can sing.

I'd never see them live, but I agree that she sounds a lot better than her pop-punk peers...she can actually sing.
