Birdsong

The Golden Dogs

True North (Canada)

WE SAY

Canada has always produced an extraordinary numbers of musical legends and massive career artists. Recently it has produced a few cool buzz bands as well. The Golden Dogs (a five piece based in Toronto) are tipped as the next buzz band out of Canada and they could just go on to be massive career artists with songs like Birdsong. Oh, and as you'll hear on this track, their influences include several British bands. True North will be at the Canada stand at Midem.
