The Minor Canon was named one of the top "10 bands to Watch in 2007" by the LA Times and have shared the stage with many notable artists including Jose Gonzalez and Voxtrot, among others. With so many indie-rock bands out there, you might ask, "what makes these guys different?" Well, I'd venture to say it's their orchestral approach: in addition to your typical rock band instrumentation (guitar, bass, and drums), The Minor Canon employ organ, piano, and a horn section, all of which add a dimension you don't typically hear in indie rock. Blackbook Magazine categorizes them as "Memphis soul on an indie bender" and OC Weekly describes their music as "honest to god stellar sad pop." They're surely a band that fans of The Arcade Fire and Spoon can appreciate.
