Iris - Synthpop band originaly from Texas, now mostly based out of Germany as far as I can figure. Used to go by Fading Iris, if you want to buy some of their stuff and you live in Canada, fat chance, but maybe they haven't been mentioned because they actually are big and well known in Europe? I have no idea. Reagan Jones has about the best voice I've ever heard. The more upbeat side of synthpop, compared to the Pet Shop Boys.

mesh - Another synthpop, influenced by Depeche Mode, a bit of a darker, more down side. Their lyrics deal mostly with failed relationships, and are usually put together extremely well, their latest album Who Watches Over Me? is my personal favorite.
