START YOUR WEEK RIGHT WITH THE V.I.A. WEEKLY PLAYLIST WEEK 190: Boreal Sons

SCENE AND HEARD showcases the independent music scene here in Vancouver.

sceneandheard SCENE AND HEARD showcases the independent music scene here in Vancouver. With over 28,000+ artists, boasting more than 140,000+ tracks, the CBC Music/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.

Boreal Sons' tour hits Vancouver this Saturday the 28th where they will be playing with The Oh Wells, and Heard In The Mountains at The Media Club. We asked the Calgary-based band for a list of some of their favourite songs by Vancouver artists, which you can hear by clicking below.

(You may have noticed we always make exceptions for most other awesome BC bands that grace our city often for shows, recording etc...and Boreal Sons picked out some killer Victoria-based artists for this list. So I just wanted to tell Victoria...we think you're awesome.
