The KOOP studios have been closed for a month now and it’s been quite a while since we’ve been able to bring y’all your weekly serving of independent Canadian music. It’s been tough to be radio-silent while great new music continues to pile up. But, we are pleased to announce that the wait is over—the Canucks are back!

We’ll be running a special homemade—literally, produced at home!—episode of This Great White North, airing during our regularly scheduled time, this week!

We’re excited to bring y’all a selection of new and classic tracks by artists including Arkells, Blackpaw Society, Dan Mangan, Danny Michel, Dizzy, Ellis, Hannah Georgas, Purity Ring, The Pack a.d., TOPS, U.S. Girls, Wild Rivers, and Wildlife!

Join Justin the Canuck for 60 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!
