The Polaris Music Prize goes to...

Fu**ed up.  right on.  Not my style, but kudos to the industry for recognizing a fringe-worthy band that hopefully proves the existence of artistic integrity in the mainstream music biz.

Quote from, “The Globe and Mail”

“A fist up for Fucked Up also delivers a satisfying retort to the Juno disaster of 2009, in which the formula rockers of Nickelback were exalted over all other Canadian musicians. Fucked Up is the kind of rock band that commercial rock radio is proud to ignore, and this award simply draws the battle lines a little deeper. “
