Hamilton, Ontario's Warsawpack signed with Winnipeg's G7 Welcoming Committee last year. The band plays what can best be described as highly politicized hip hop backed by a jazz band. Its different but great. This is off their debut "Gross Domestic Product" that was released last year:
Warsawpack - Attention To Deficit
For more info check out the G7 Welcoming Committee.

A friend saw this band play in Toronto a few days ago and advised that I check them out. Panic In Detroit is a pretty straight-up rock band but executes their sound quite well. This track's from their self titled EP on Silverthree Sound Recordings. Foo Fighters or Weezer fans should dig this:
Panic In Detroit - We Own Everything
