Two Hours Traffic is a Canadian indie rock band who chose their title after a line in the prologue to Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Although often described as the band that Halifax guitarist Joel Plaskett took “under his wing”, they have increasingly become known as purveyors of original, well-crafted power pop songs.

Joel Plaskett returns to the producer’s chair on the bands latest album Little Jabs, which packs a wallop with eleven captivating tracks that blur the line between folk rock and powerful pop.

A great question. I had to base my answers on a few criteria: I couldn’t immediately name the members of Nickelback one after another (it wouldn’t have made for a diverse list), I would consider everything – having to play a certain genre/CD all the time, personal life matters and career health.

So here were the ones that jumped into my head…

Flavor Flav – although fun for a few days, the ‘looking at the world through a permanent acid trip’ phase would wear thin after a while.

Tom Cochrane - This is not a shot at TC. I’ve always been a fan and I think his latest album is very good. All I’m saying is…I’ve gone to karaoke night all pumped to rock ‘Life is a Highway’ like 5 times now. Every time I start out the song with a youthful exuberance and about midway through the song I realize I’m kind of sick of Life is a Highway. This has been 5 times now. How many times do you think Tom performs this a year? Again, not a dig, just not for me.

Any part of bands like these…
