With 29,656+ artists, boasting 141,075+ tracks, the CBC Radio 3 web site is the absolute ultimate authority, and the home, of independent music in Canada. With that massive library along with tools for members (free to join!), we’re taking advantage of what they’ve set up by bringing you a fresh batch of music every week featuring local groups who have tracks (entire albums, even!) on the R3 site.

As we told you last week, there's a brand new Top 20 in the Peak Performance Project for 2012! So this week we're giving you a taste of what they sound like, and ultimately a preview for what you will be able to hear if you head to the Surrey Canada Day party (which you should because Hannah Georgas and Sam Roberts are ALSO playing that day!). Last year was quite the day, so you better not miss it!
