1.Quiet Elephant. Family makes for fun music, in the case of the Twin brothers and brother/sister combo that make up St. John's band Quiet Elephant at any rate. Check out My Heart Goes Boom it's an energetic piece of pop that could even make your Nan smile.

2.The Wolves. Hatesong has become one of my more favouritish tunes of late. It's like their bio says, “All the better to make you dance, dear.” Check them out on Reverbnation.

3.Mopey Mumble Mouse.

This cool, and somewhat creepy, video for Compassion Comes From The Barrel of A Gun is from Mopey Mumble Mouse's 2009 release I Am Happy Being Nothing. The album also features a somewhat punkier cover of Wonderful Grand Band's Babylon Mall. It's streaming in the player on the band's website. Check it out.

4.Bird & Bear. Part Human. Part Animal. All heart. That's what their bio says and I'm not gonna challenge it. The duo, comprised of Jon Janes and Jillian Freeman, has just released its debut ep Into The Moon to general fanfare. Check out their songs on MySpace and but the album online from CDBaby.

5.The Black Auks. Sounds Provocative, a research project on experimental music performance at festivals and concert venues across Canada, calls The Black Auks “a legendary noise band from St. John’s, Newfoundland whose work is in the long tradition of idiosyncratic Canadian ensembles made up of ordinary guys who meet faithfully for the sheer pleasure of creating improvisational mayhem...”

They definitely do make some interesting sounds. You can see one of their performances online at Sounds Provocative.
