We surveyed the Canadian indie landscape and found tons of music still being released despite the crazy state of the world right now, so what else could we do but bring it all to you? We’ve got another home-produced episode of This Great White North for you this week, and yes—we’re back to a full 90 minutes of great Canadian tunes!

We’ve got a slate of almost entirely new tracks from artists like Ace of Wands, Basia Bulat, Bruce Peninsula, Caribou, Carmanah, Dana Gavanski, Eliza Niemi, Gord Bamford, Harrow Fair, Hot Garbage, Jaunt, July Talk, Le Couleur, NOBRO, Peach Pit, Pottery, Real Sickies, Rich Aucoin, and Sarah Harmer! Plus, we return to tradition with our Neil Young Song of the Week, this week featuring Crazy Horse.

Quell those quarantine blues and join Justin the Canuck for 90 minutes of independent Canadian music, airing at 4:30 PM Central on KOOP Radio, 91.7 FM in Austin, Texas and broadcasting to the world at KOOP.org!
