Vancouver is out there punkish rock (teagan and sara) to 70's Heavy Metal revival band of the hippies Black Mountain to Pacific Northwest sound pioneered by new pornographers which has influenced bands like Death Cab who are from Bellingham.

@ptg sorry you lose, were looking for good music.

So you like Bloc Party but you don't like anything PTG mentioned.

Wow.

Pierre, Tegan And Sara are nothing close to punk rock. Thats not a diss because Tegan And Sara are great but comparing to their sound to punk rock (or punk-ish even) is completely wrong.
