As Much As I Love Canadian Bands It Sucks To Like Them Sometimes Because The More Obscure Ones Like Trooper

As much as I love Canadian bands it sucks to like them sometimes because the more obscure ones like Trooper or April Wine or Loverboy have so few posts made about them and nobody really talks about them. Also on the topic, I am so fascinated by how bands so well known around here aren’t known at all across the world. Like, Glass Tiger or Platinum Blonde get very decent radio play around here—but I doubt that none outside of Canada would know who they are. The same goes for Trooper and in some ways Kim Mitchell. Only bands like Rush and The Guess Who out of all of the Canadian classic rock bands out there (particularly from the 70s-80s) are known fairly well outside of Canada. It makes me sad that I can’t find Trooper or Loverboy posts, likely because they’re names of some more popular thing.

My friend sent me this picture and I don’t know if it’s been posted here before so uh. hot sting image from what is very likely 1981

Sting's early style before dying his hair alongside his other band members. My God, he looks good 😊
