A band to showcase to you all today, Rock and Pop?

I feel like sharing with you some of my favourite bands. In this question, I'll be sharing The Dears. The Dears are a band from Montreal, Canada, formed in 1995. Their debut album was released in 2000. Their singer, Murray Lightburn, has often been called "the black Morrissey" for his similar vocal stylings and penchant for dark lyrics. They're probably my favourite band within the Canadian indie scene.

So, without further ado, allow me to share with you some of their music:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6o-eADVHVe4 - Who Are You, Defenders of the Universe? (By far my favourite of their songs.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dbsfs114rTk - Warm and Sunny Days (another of my favourites)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0zRxxBKZ1A - Lost in the Plot

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ty41BuLsc1A - 22 the Death of All Romance (Watch the video - it's heartbreaking. And awesome)

BQ: Opinions?

BQ2: What do you think of the whole "The Black Morrissey" thing?

BQ3: Which song of those did you like best? Worst?

BQ4: Did you watch the video for 22 the Death of All Romance?

BQ5: Favourite Canadian band?

BQ6: Favourite indie band?

Update:

Thank you, for your response, "Satan's Splooge". I'm definitely going to take it to heart, given that you answered the question only a few minutes after I posted it, and your name is Satan's Splooge.

Try harder, failtroll.

    Hello, love :)

    Listening to Defenders and i REALLY like it. It has a nice angsty tension to it.

    BA2- based on this song, he doesn't sound like Morrissey to me at all.

    BA3 & 4- I'll have to listen to the others later, getting ready to go to an appointment

    BA5- hmmm I like Metric and Arcade Fire

    BA6- White Lies
