Yes, this is a “TOP TEN” list, but these albums don’t need to be rated or organized from best to slightly less-best. There is no countdown here, any of these albums could sit anywhere on a list of ten. We just loved these albums and wanted you to love them like we do.

The Chiasson brothers Hubert & Julien (vocals & guitars) had a desire to share the collection of hooks and melodies turning in their minds with the world, and so, Julien called up Rémi (drums & percussion) who brought along Sam (bass) and the band was formed. The chemistry was instantaneous. After a few weeks in their parents' basement, a fully grown batch of original songs was brewed and they realized immediately that they were part of something bigger than themselves.
