Featured Artist: The Rural Alberta Advantage
Not to be confused with the RIAA, The RAA is a new indie band from Toronto, Ontario (Lead singer from Edmonton, Alberta). Combining really good songwriting with absolutely manic percussion (that will become their trademark), their debut album “Hometowns” has garnered high praise from reviewers (and even Pitchfork) while namechecking Alberta places like Edmonton, Lethbridge and Frank’s Slide. It’s definitely one of my favorites of 2009, and just might be the next big thing in indie music. Alberta represent!
