The Juno-award-winning Jerry Cans are committed to preserving the language of the north and of their home community of Iqaluit even as the area evolves. With their slashing electric guitars, thundering drums, effects-warped throat singing and darkened violin work, the band's buzzing indie rock / shoegaze / moonlit country / Arctic post-punk sound seeks to challenge common misperceptions non-northerners have about life and its people in the Arctic.
