May 6, 2014 – Canadian Music Week 2014 has moved to the balmier weather of May from it’s usual March schedule. As usual, the week long wristband is definitely the way to go here.
This year’s recommendations list is more focused than previous years. In the past we’ve sometimes had three, four or even five suggestions for every time slot but ultimately it’s only possible to be in one place at a time, so this will be more concise.
As always, these are recommendations of ROCK bands. If’ you’re looking for Tegan and Sara you’ve found the wrong website.Here are our CMW 2014 Recommendations for what we like to call #RealRock
