The talent in Canada is unreal. I've been on many Canadian tours and I'm always impressed with the opening acts (unsigned/signed). Their bands are usually good musicians and the singers can actually sing. But for some reason, Canadian bands have a hard time crossing over in the U.S. market.
There are a number of Canadian crossover acts that have made a small mark in the U.S. Besides Silverstein, these huge acts in Canada (Alexisonfire, Moneen, Billy Talent, City & Colour and Lights) haven't quite captured the U.S. audience (although Lights career is still too early to determine). Is Ten Second Epic the next Canadian band to test the U.S. waters? Can they get over the hump?
Their music has shifted over the years to a more commercial sound which seems to be working. They currently have two videos on Much Music's Top 30 Videos (equivalent to our VH1) and a Canadian tour with Silverstein and A Day To Remember.
Ten Second Epic teamed up with fellow Canadian buzz artist Lights for the song Every Day and you can watch the video below:
Do you think TSE can not only crossover into the U.S. market but do better than most of their fellow Canadian acts?
