A new feature at Bandmark: Each Monday we’ll be scouting out the best of local music here in Montreal. This city is the undisputed cultural capital of Canada, and contains more brilliant bands than we could catalogue even if we did this feature five times a day.
First up we have The Unsettlers, who came to [...]

This week’s mission: A beginner’s rundown of four major Internet music streaming services: LAST.FM, GROOVESHARK, SLACKER and PANDORA.
