Great Lake Swimmers- pretty amazing. Also- They are from michigan - but another good band that fits around this musical niche is "Frontier Ruckus". damn good stuff.

The Agonist is the best Canadian band hands-down.

Wow, thanks! However... ;-) I am just now noticing that there are two pages for the group. There is "Deep Dark Woods" as you've linked here and "THE Deep Dark Woods" The one with the "The" includes an artist description and events and so on... Would it be hard to change?

Deep Dark Woods has been connected to the group. Thanks for the suggestion. Please feel free to suggest any others.

Great idea for a group! I might suggest by way of a recommendation/possible connection is Saskatoon's "The Deep Dark Woods." Their new album "Winter Hours" is quite fantastic (and very rootsy...)
