Coley (band)
Coley is a Canadian indie rock band, from Sherbrooke, Quebec. The band is the brainchild of singer/guitarist JF Coley, joined by Jocelyn Blanchette on the drums and David Jalbert on bass. Their musical style has been referred to as a "post-grunge throwback to British 60's pop". Their latest album, Crossing the Rubicon, discusses political and social issues facing the Eastern Townships of Quebec and its community.
History
Coming from a musical family, JF started performing at age 3, in a violin ensemble. After graduating from Mount Allison University (where JF was in a band, Smiling Politely, composed of future members of In-Flight Safety) JF was recruited by Sarnia, Ontario band Flicker.
Over the next year, JF would perform with some of Canada's top bands, like Our Lady Peace, Nickelback, The Guess Who, Treble Charger, etc... After Canadian Music Week 2003, JF returned to the Eastern Townships where he would now base his operations. Aware that the Quebec sovereignty movement had negatively affected the Eastern Townships (where the culture had always celebrated a happy coexistence between Francophones and anglophones), JF started working with CJMQ-FM to promote the local culture and celebrate a unique region of North America.

+/- (band)
+/-, or Plus/Minus, is an American indietronic band formed in 2001. The band makes use of both electronic and traditional instruments, and has sought to use electronics to recreate traditional indie rock song forms and instrumental structures. The group has released two albums on each of the American indie labels Teenbeat Records and Absolutely Kosher, and their track "All I do" was prominently featured in the soundtrack for the major film Wicker Park. The group has developed a devoted following in Japan and Taiwan, and has toured there frequently. Although many artists append bonus tracks onto the end of Japanese album releases to discourage purchasers from buying cheaper US import versions, the overseas versions of +/- albums are usually quite different from the US versions - tracklists can be rearranged, artwork with noticeable changes is used, and tracks from the US version can be replaced as well as augmented by bonus tracks.
