Rock Plaza Central is a Canadian indie rock band. They have recently come to prominence as a major indie rock band. Their independently released disc, Are We Not Horses (2006), made many top ten lists for the year, including #8 for CMJ Editor-in-Chief Kenny Herzog, Pitchfork staff writer Stephen Deusner and Americana-UK lead writer David Cowling.

They are often compared to Neutral Milk Hotel and Will Oldham.

In early 2007, they received additional attention for their cover of the Justin Timberlake song “SexyBack”.

Rock Plaza Central is now signed to Outside Music in Canada and Yep Roc Records in the US. They will put out Are We Not Horses in wide release April 17, 2007.

I like when I discover something in my library I forgot about or neglected to listen to, when it turns out to be something like this.

If you like what they did with Timberlake's "Sexy Back", seek out their version of Van Halen's "Panama"... 4:27 of greatness! Stumbled onto RPC and glad for it!

8.0 on Pitchfork. Good for them. Anthem For The Already Defeated is a fantastic song.

excellent interview - Thanks a ton! we did an instore with them last week on the opening night of the tour. It was fucking amazing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npOHYnQEbvI Only captured one full song - The World is Good Enough. Sound quality and my Gerry Todd steadicam abilities are second to none. The show was incredible and they must have played for two and a half hours. Everything ended with the whole place yelling 'I am an excellent steel horse' for about 15 minutes.

Played 3 new songs last night, and if they were any indication of the next album it should be fantastic.
