Canada's version of REM

"54-40 don't really sound like REM. That is not the point. The point is that for years 54-40 has put out consistantly good music that ranges in style from straight ahead rockers to alt country influenced. Kind of like REM, good music, different styles, etc. But somehow success in the US has eluded 54-40.All that being said Flatland is a very worthy CD. Some first rate stuff and the only reason it dosen't get 5 is that nothing can compare to their first CD the self titled 54-40. Give the boys from North of the border a listen, you will like what you hear."

"What wasn't mentioned in the product description, was that the band, the Grasshoppers was Ben Orr's (The Cars) first band, here in Lakewood, Ohio. They were the house band for the local TV show Upbeat and recorded two singles "Mod Socks" and "Pink Champagne (And Red Roses)". Very rare."
