We’re firm supporters of the current flurry of great music coming out of Canada at the moment here at Best Fit. Just have a look back at our Oh, Canada! podcasts.
So we are happy to announce that Canadian Blast (a venture set-up by the Canadian Independent Music Association) are hosting their first-ever showcase at Great Escape, called Canada House.
Stretching over three days, the event will feature the likes of Slow Down, Molasses, Hot Panda and Hooded Fang.
