right on, I'm back into the Presidents of the USA now too... fave song by them at the momemnt: "meanwhile back in the city"

a toronto band that I just found about a week ago called the 'Uncut' - http://www.thenewviolence.com/

also a pittsburg duo (kind of beastie boy[ish] very interesting lyrics):
Grand Buffet

(I'll be in awe if anyone else has heard of them, even more so if you listen to them...)
