Bruce Peninsula have the gift. You never really know what it takes for a band to blow up huge, but when you see the magic you can't deny it. Their sound relies heavily on the percussion and heavily on the choir, sounding like post-rock gospel blues with a touch of something tribal. With an album on the way, you really need to see them now before they're selling out three straight nights in 20 minutes. If indie rock was a stock market, these guys would be Google about to announce their IPO. — Ryan McLaren
