I think, Music is an international language. Most of them are like the music and prefer to listen in any time also. One of my friend said about the Canadian music, What are the latest collections of Canadian music ?
Also, I'm a fucking idiotic spamtard.....

History:
wiki wiki:
In 1993, Zevon returned the favor by guesting on the bands Bedbugs album. Its lead single was "Heterosexual Man". The video for that song featured the band members performing in drag, with Dave Foley, Kevin McDonald and Mark McKinney from The Kids in the Hall, themselves often noted for drag performances, as stereotypically macho jocks in the audience until Foley inexplicably turns into a woman. Three more singles were released from the album: "It Falls Apart", "Jackhammer" and the Europe only "Yes (Means it's Hard to Say No)". "Jackhammer" features a guitar battle between Robert Quine (Lou Reed, Richard Hell, Matthew Sweet, etc.) and Zevon.
In 1995 Brennan left the band, moving to Toronto during the recording of their third album, and subsequently joined Big Sugar. He was replaced by Pat Steward, a friend of Doug's & former drummer for Bryan Adams. Good Weird Feeling, their most commercially successful album, included drum tracks from both Brennan and Steward. The album featured the top 10 hit singles "Truth Untold" and "Eat My Brain".
"Satisfied" hit the top 20. "Mercy to Go" and "Smokescreen" also charted. "Eat My Brain" later found a place on the Craig Northey-produced soundtrack to the The Kids in the Hall movie Brain Candy. Northey composed the score for the movie along with Steward and Elliott.
In 1996 the album Nest was released. The track "Someone Who's Cool" originally intended for a sequel to the Friends soundtrack,[1] was their first No. 1 single in their native Canada. It hit the U.S. top 40 and was No. 3 at AAA radio. It later was also used as the title theme for the short-lived CBS comedy Love Monkey. The follow-up single "Make You Mad" featured a video which was co-directed by and starred Bruce McCulloch of The Kids in the Hall. "Nothing Beautiful" was the third single.
Odds toured extensively during the 1990s, including as an opening act for The Tragically Hip and Barenaked Ladies. The band performed until 1999, headlining that year's Arts County Fair year-end concert at the University of British Columbia, but released no further new studio albums.
...
The band was named the Vancouver Canucks 'house band' of the 2010 and 2011 NHL playoffs. The Odds performed the theme music to the CBC/IFC television series The Kids in the Hall: Death Comes to Town.
