Over the last few years, Canada has become a breeding ground for innovative music, from Godspeed You! Black Emperor and the Arcade Fire to Feist. Among the most recent leaders of the Canuck new wave are the Constantines. Combining heavy riffs with anthemic choruses and a loud-quiet-loud jerkiness that would perk the Pixies right up, this quintet creates one of the rawest sounds around. The onetime Sub Pop darlings return to Chicago tonight to deliver their tension-and-release rock — just in time for the long-awaited turning of spring.
