Arcade Fire‘s highly-decorated third studio album ‘The Suburbs‘ has added the Polaris Music Prize to its long list of achievements after taking home the award at a ceremony in Toronto yesterday (September 19th).

The prize, which celebrates the best of Canadian music over the past twelve months, was awarded to Arcade Fire members Richard Parry and Jeremy Gara, the latter of which used the opportunity to offer up some words of encouragement to young musicians.

“Anyone who is under 18 and playing music and everyone who has ever been on stage and had the opportunity to play music and have someone hear it, just stick with it, because in 20 years you could be up here and have an album much better than this,” he commented.

Shortlist:

‘The Suburbs’ – Arcade Fire
‘Feel It Break’ – Austra
‘Native Speaker’ – Braids
‘Kaputt’ – Destroyer
‘Tigre Et Diesel’ – Galaxie
