Original Air Date: August 2, 2010

Suburbia by Juice Monkey
To us this song screamed Degrassi. Though there’s not much going on in the song, it’s really the nature of it that reminded me of those kids – those teen high school years – cookie cutter houses and Johnny doing things he shouldn’t.

Uptown by The World Provider
Another Degrassi fan band, these guys were thrilled to be part of the show.  It’s great, because the song was a great fit for The Dot.

Hard Shoulder by Gemma Ray
This was a questionable song to a questionable scene – but put to picture, it looks and feels great.  It’s no traditional song, and it actually broke the traditional Degrassi practice of a rock – pop – singer/songwriter club with relatable lyrics, instead it’s more about the general feeling inside Fiona’s head, “and I wish, and I wish”.

Dreamless Nights by Clothes Make The Man
This is one of those albums you remember being handed to you at their gig – and not being able to hear a word that’s said about it – because the band is playing it so well.  That moment held on, and I found it again when listening to the album the next day.
