Cancer Bats
With 17 years under their belt including 6 acclaimed studio albums, five Juno Award nominations, and countless tours around the globe, Canadian hardcore punk heavyweights, Cancer Bats are a well-known force within the world of heavy music. On their seventh studio album, PSYCHIC JAILBREAK (out April 15 via their own label Bat Skull Records in partnership with New Damage Records), the beloved metal stalwarts found themselves once again stepping into new territory as a band, writing and recording as a three-piece following the departure of founding member and guitarist Scott Middleton, while navigating a global pandemic.
“On October 26th 2021 we started making a record,” shares lead vocalist Liam Cormier. “This was the 7th studio album for Cancer Bats but it was the first time the 3 of us, Jaye Schwarzer, Mike Peters and myself Liam Cormier, were going to record an album, we had written just the three of us. Jaye covering both guitar and bass duties, all three of us learning how to use digital means to record and arrange ideas from our separate provinces.”
Cormier continues, “We knew this album had to be special. Our band has never been one sole member tasked with all the writing. Over the last 15 years of releasing albums, it’s been a collaboration of the 4 of us forming all musical ideas. That being said, we knew that the 3 remaining Bats, would have to prove our worth with this next album. We wanted to show Cancer Bats fans that an exciting new future was in store for us. To say the stakes were high on this album, would be an understatement. We were all feeling a mix of excitement and nerves as we began tracking the 11 songs that would form this record.”
Once again enlisting the watchful eyes and ears of producer JP Peters (Propagandhi) at his studio Private Ear in Winnipeg, MB, Cancer Bats were looking to step up their game on their latest record and were eager to push beyond what they had achieved on their last studio album, 2018’s critically-acclaimed, commercially successful and Juno nominated album The Spark That Moves.
War on Women
War On Women is a co-ed feminist hardcore-punk band. Formed in Baltimore, MD in 2011, W.O.W. use driving riffs and in your face vocals that attack the listener both sonically and lyrically, penning catchy and confrontational songs that touch on rape culture, street harassment, the gender wage gap, transphobia, and other vitally pertinent social issues.
Riff-fueled manifestos are nothing new for War On Women. The co-ed feminist punk troupe has been tackling injustice one song at a time since their 2010 inception. Storming out the gate with teeth gnashing and spitting venom, War On Women’s self-titled 2015 debut crossbred riot grrrl ferocity with the nimble aggression of thrash. Hailed for their crystalline jabs at societal ills, War On Women prove that hardcore can incite change that ripples far beyond the parameters of the stage.
War On Women are neither a crew of young bucks nor a contagion of seasoned legends. They don’t fit neatly into metalloid machismo or hulking hardcore tropes. They have nothing to prove, and there’s nothing more delightfully dangerous than that.
