An authoritative, unprecedented account of how in the early
2000s Canadian music finally became cool
Hearts on Fire is about the creative explosion in Canadian
music of the early 2000s, which captured the world's attention
in entirely new ways. The Canadian wave didn't just sweep over
one genre or one city, it stretched from coast to coast,
affecting large bands and solo performers, rock bands and DJs,
and it connected to international scenes by capitalizing on new
technology and old-school DIY methods.
Arcade Fire, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Feist, Tegan and
Sara, Alexisonfire: those were just the tip of the iceberg.
This is also the story of hippie chicks, turntablists, poetic
punks, absurdist pranksters, queer orchestras, obtuse
wordsmiths, electronic psychedelic jazz, power-pop supergroups,
sexually bold electro queens, cowboys who used to play speed
metal, garage rock evangelists, classically trained solo
violinists, and the hip-hop scene that preceded Drake.
This is Canada like it had never sounded before. This is the
Canada that soundtracked the dawn of a new century.
Featuring more than 100 exclusive interviews and two decades of
research.
