Toronto punk rockers PUP and frat boy party-anthem posse PKEW PKEW PKEW will be on their way to Austin next week, the first American stop on their summer tour. They’re playing at Sidewinder on Tuesday night, and we’ve got a pair of tickets to get you in!

This week, in addition to the latest music by PUP and PKEW PKEW PKEW, we’ll have new tracks by The Bandicoots, BESTiE, and Wolf Parade—yes, that Wolf Parade! Plus, loads of artists never before heard on the show, like Adam Strangler, Animal Names, Chris Storrow, Museum Pieces, and Walrus. We’ll also spin some great tunes by artists including The Belle Game, Bruce Peninsula, Cookie Duster, Falconhawk, P:ano, Rah Rah, Shawn Mrazek Lives, and The Wooden Sky. And, at 5:00, we’ll bring you our latest Neil Young Song of the Week, part of our countdown of the Top 100 Neil Young songs of all time, as rated by Rolling Stone.

Join Justin the Canuck this Friday at 4:30 PM Central for the latest Canadian indie tunes and for your chance to win those tickets! As always, we’ll be live on KOOP Radio—91.7 FM in Austin and streaming online at KOOP.org.

Music from 2016? Meh.

Don’t get us wrong—there are some great albums dropping on the Canadian scene lately. But, we’ve been bringing you the new stuff so much that we’re out of it… at least, for this week. Instead, we’re going to focus on some slightly older releases, ranging from the relatively new (Tearjerker, 2015) to the finely aged (The Weekend and Decomposure, 2005) and even reaching all the way back to 1975 for our Neil Young Song of the Week.

Join Justin the Canuck today at 4:30 PM Central for those artists, as well as tracks by Brasstronaut, Sam Cash, Close Talker, Fancey, The Got to Get Got, Kestrels, King Khan & The Shrines, The Legendary Dirtbikers, Magneta Lane, Modern Superstitions, A.C. Newman, Provincial Parks, Ruby Coast, Said the Whale, Slow Down Molasses, Statue Park, and Stella Ella Ola. We’ll also have an update on the Canadian artists coming through town, and much more.

Tune in to This Great White North on KOOP Radio, broadcasting on 91.7 FM in Austin, TX and streaming live, worldwide, at KOOP.org.
