I know this is a little late, but I felt it would be a really good way to start off our new blog. The Canadian Music Week indie music awards were handed out way back in the beginning of March but, if nothing else, the reel of winners may give a few pointers to bands that are worth looking out for. Full details on the CMW can be seen on their webpage at http://www.cmw.net/ including information about the CMW2007 awards.
