Hello there,

Speaking as a Canadian, we've become fairly used to our best bands/songwriters going pretty much ignored down south, so I was very surprised to see you list Our Lady Peace and Big Wreck as your two inspirations. I had to express my appreciation for you doing that, because the buzz those bands are getting now? Awesome.

I know they had their fans, but they certainly weren't as well known. Kudos, fine sir, for recognizing musical genius. I was lucky enough to see them both live in very small university campus venues, so I share your love for them. In fact, a very good friend named her Dodge Ram 'Ian', after Ian Thornley because it was big, white, and dickly (no insult intended, that's actually a compliment from her).

That being said, if you like them I have only this to say.....

Moist/David Usher
Econoline Crush
Wide Mouth Mason
Matthew Good Band (the latest only if you're already really depressed)

You will love.

Trust.

Edited to add "econline crush" because I'm a spaz and forgot to put poor Trevor here the first time...
