Canada has a fairly strong rock tradition in many forms....and we do see our skaters reaching for that.
With vocals now usable, I suspect we'll see more of it. Unfortunately, the rock bands, or their labels, also seem to be fairly aggressive in asserting their rights so many of these are not available for viewing.
The hard rock program that sticks out in my mind is Kevin Reynolds 2013-2014 SP to Australian AC DC's 'Back in Black/Thunderstruck' choreographed by Shae-lynn Bourne. He never fulfilled it's promise that season IMO due to his ongoing boot and injury issues, but his revamped exhibition version, with vocals, earlier this season, is a favourite that I watch again and again.

The third-ranked junior pair at the Canadian national skating championships this year, the Boys-Eddy siblings, Olivia and Mackenzie, had an innovative hard rock short program [Led Zepplin, ZZ Top ???] this season. The version from nationals was never able to be posted due to rights being asserted, but you can catch them in the replay of their warm-up group at the December 2016 Challenge, the qualifier for nationals starting at 6:25.....[interestingly, it wouldn't let me copy the link or create a usable link at the time stamp....]

By the way, Olivia has just turned 13 so expect we'll be seeing her with her brother Mackenzie [who is also a musician] and their 3Tw3 in the JPGs now that Canada has 12 berths for junior pairs for the 2017-2018 season.
TGEE........YES! To the tenth power on "Back In Black" :agree:
