Happy Canada Day! This year the country is celebrating Canada’s 146th birthday, and I thought it was worth putting together a little video playlist to celebrate the holiday with some of the best home grown music.

The 2013 Sirius XM Indies pulled out a packed crowd on Friday for independent acts ranging from gothic gospel to glam rock. Oh, and Metric performed, which might have something to do with the audience screaming at any reference to the band and growing in numbers as their set time neared.
Seven-time nominees Metric will headline The SiriusXM Indies at Canadian Music Week 2013 in Toronto on Friday, March 22 at the Kool Haus, it was announced today.

After dropping hints for the last week, Metric have debuted their latest single “Youth Without Youth” from their upcoming album Synthetica, which drops on June 12.
