Is that related to the Public Enemy album at all?

I thought Mary Hansen died in a bicycling accident. It would really surprise me that the band would continue on under the same name, considering her contributions and front-lady status.

I'm thinking the same thing. Arcade Fire exploded into an international phenomenon. I'd say they've "made it".

 

[asebastian0]

Pygmy Lush - Bitter River

And a lot of things people have already mentioned.

 

[skudmunky]

Symphony X
Dream Theater

Very simple. After so much exposure and promotion they need a really solid release here (smth in the lines of Rush of Blood to the Head, Automatic For the People...), or Funeral will be remembered as one-day wonder - as with so many other indie bands...

+ Riverside, I've heard that they will release new album in 2007

Can't wait.

p/s : Symphony X 2007 album names Paradise lost, not lost paradise

That's a good point. I tend to forget just how differently Canadian bands are received outside of Canada. AF has been making big waves here since their first release (though especially after Funeral) and they're Juno winners to boot. At least in this country, I think we can expect them around for a long time - totally different story in the US. I don't personally like their music, but I'll give credit where credit is due: These guys are the real deal. Even if they don't enjoy prolonged commercial success, they will hold a fan base for years to come.

Mooney Suzuki.

2.5 Solid albums. Signed to Columbia. One craptastic album.

Back on an independent. This bodes well!
