I kind of wanted to shout out to Kim Gordon again. She is a legit bass player and is very underrated.
The Beaches are really good. I was lucky enough to see them on the c-stage at Riot Fest in Toronto a few years ago. Their stage show is theatric like old school 80s glam, but they have the musical chops to back it up.
Probably more of a ska band, but the Slits (RIP Ari Up) were one of the first bands that introduced me to "alternative" rock music.
Tegan and Sara (from Calgary!) are also pretty amazing IMO.
Another artist with a Calgary connection in Lowell. For whatever reason, she is more popular in Europe than NA.
Alvvays is another awesome Canadian group with a female lead.
Also worth mentioning is Alanis Morrisette. I won't post any videos, but her Jagged Little Pill album was hugely influential to the 90s music scene.
