So, like, a slew of A-list Canadian rockers with a pinch of the Beach Boys thrown in for ... because ... well, why not? It's in Sudbury after all and that place rocks (Ahahah get it? Because nickel ore was discovered in 1883 during the construction of the transcontinental railway making Sudbury a world leader in nickel mining? And, like, mining involves lots of rocks and stuff? OK. You got it? OK. Cool. Because also, like, the 'rock' in 'rock 'n' roll,' see?)
