Elk & Young Rival

Elk say that they are from both Toronto and the Niagara region, and comprises Ben Pokol (bass), Kyle Connolly (bass), Michael Price (guitar) and Josh Korody (drums). All four gentlemen provide vocals.

They both identify as and are typically reviewed as a garage rock band. They released a self-titled album in February of 2010, followed by Balm Beach in March of 2011, and Daydreams in June of 2012.

Here they are on the cover of their album, Balm Beach:

Young Rival hails from Hamilton, Ontario. Aron D'Alesio provides lead guitar and lead vocals, Noah Fralick provides drums, and John Smith provides bass. All of these gentlemen do also sing. In 2008, they put out the EP Young Rival, and in 2010, they put out the album Young Rival. They, too, are a little bit garage rock, but they are also a little indie, a bit punk, and a tad Beach Boys for the hell of it. They're retro in the good way without bashing you about the face with it. 

Here's a picture from their Facebook page:
