Lisp

Biography : 

Lisp was a 3-piece melodic punk band from Cambridge, Ontario. They have a cool sound, not really technical but good melodies, typical Canadian punk sound from the 90's. They released 3 CDs by themselves. At least 2 of them were released on CDr, made by the band. They are really hard to find in original. I am in constant search of the latest album they released.

District 7

Biography (source: wikipedia)  : 

District 7 is a four-person band from Ontario, Canada that was formed in June 1999. District 7 does not really fit into any real genre perfectly; however, they do share a number of stylistic similarities with Skate punk music. Music influences and similarities include Strike Anywhere, Bigwig, Thrice, Good Riddance and Rise Against. Indeed, the band appears to be entirely against the lack of innovation genre classifications often promote. They have refused to describe their music, instead and offering that "the songs speak for themselves".

The band played 44 dates with the 2002 Warped Tour, has played three cross-Canada tours and two East Coast ventures.

District 7 disbanded in 2006. Some of the members started new projects. Tom fronts OneStarCity while Scott and Ryan formed Solid Snakes.

Bankshot

Here's one of the amazing punk bands that came out of Sault. Ste Marie. Their story started in 1998 when 5 guys started to play punkrock together. During the only 2 years that Bankshot existed, the guys had the chance to play with big bands like Strung Out, Good Riddance, Choke and many more. They also put out an album in 1999 but in late 2000, they disbanded. Some members later started other musical projects in different styles.

Fat Chance

Here's a very particular punk band that comes from Ontario, Canada. The guys started in early 90's, and where influenced by this fast epitaph/fat style. What is particular with Fat Chance is that they added keyboards to their songs, and the result is amazing! The songs can be described as fast and technical progressive punk, and are very original and well built. I dont know any other band that did the same with keyboards. The band is now defunct but some members started another similar project called Hypercricket, which is really worth checking out too!
