Cancer Bats and Iron Giant to Rock Moncton with Double CD Release Show
Friday May 2nd @ The Manhattan Club
(Halifax, NS) – Toronto, Ontario’s Cancer Bats and Moncton, New Brunswick’s Iron Giant will be holding their double CD Release Show on Friday May 2nd at The Manhattan Club. For the Cancer Bats, this show is part of their national CD Release tour for the new CD ‘Hail Destroyer’ coming out April 22nd. Iron Giant’s new CD, ‘Creator of Scars’ will be released in Moncton at this show. Joining Cancer Bats and Iron Giant on the tour are: Black Lungs and A Textbook Tragedy; Black Lungs being the side project of Wade MacNeil of Alexisonfire. Tickets for the show are $12 Advance / $15 Door with the show starting at 10:00PM. Tickets for the show are now on sale at All Ticketpro Outlets – READS (Main St), The Manhattan Club / Online @ www.ticketpro.ca or by Phone @ 1-888-311-9090.
Cancer Bats is: Liam Cormier (vocals), Scott Middleton (guitar), Mike Peters (drums), Jaye R. Schwarzer (bass)
The Cancer Bats have come to destroy. Fueled by a burning desire to rage harder, play louder and have more fun than any other band, Cancer Bats mix hardcore, southern metal, and punk rock into a lethal rock and roll explosion.
The band originated in May of 2004 with singer Liam Cormier and guitarist Scott Middleton, former member of Toronto metal band At The Mercy Of Inspiration. The two wanted to form a project that combined their favorite parts of bands like Refused, Black Flag, Led Zeppelin and Down, among others. The line-up was rounded out with the addition of Andrew McCracken on bass and Mike Peters on drums.
The four-piece wasted no time writing and recording songs for a self-released demo that saw light in January of 2005 (later reissued on Oct 31 2005 on vinyl by Tragicomedy Records). Determined to spread the gospel of rage and get its music heard, the Cancer Bats spent the next year touring extensively all over North America with bands such as Every Time I Die, Nora, Alexisonfire, Haste the Day, It Dies Today, Comeback Kid, A Life Once Lost, The Bled, Misery Signals and This Is Hell. Show after show, from coast to coast, the Cancer Bats, whose explosive live shows inspire floor punching, windmills, and arm spinning, had begun to establish their own devoted legion of fans.
With the hellacious buzz about the Cancer Bats fuelling across North America, the band unleashed its highly anticipated debut album ‘Birthing the Giant’ on the most evil day in history 06/06/06, on Distort Inc. (home to Alexisonfire). Produced by award winning Canadian producer Gavin Brown (Three Days Grace, Billy Talent) the album featured bold, infectious riffage that peaked the interest of audiences and press across the globe. With critical acclaim resonating from all sides of the planet, the year following the debut release saw the Cancer Bats fly to the top of the Hardcore Punk scene. From signing licensing deals with Hassle in the UK and Shock in Australia, to winning the Favourite Hardcore/Metal Group of the year at the 2007 Indie Awards and Best Independent Video at the 2007 MuchMusic Video Awards, the world had started to take notice of Canada’s favourite flying mammals.
‘Hail Destroyer’ is the Cancer Bats sophomore studio release. Co-produced by Eric Ratz (Big Sugar, Theory Of A Dead Man, Billy Talent), Kenny Luong (Billy Talent), and Greg Below (Alexisonfire) and recorded at Vespa Studios, the album features an edgier, much heavier, and finely tuned collection of songs. From the punchy opening riff of the title track “Hail Destroyer” right to the melodic outro of “Zed’s Dead, Baby,” the Cancer Bats do not disappoint. Integrating more Punk, Stoner Rock, Metal, and Hardcore into the mix and taking a much more introspective approach than its predecessor, ‘Hail Destroyer’ sees the Cancer Bats taking their musicianship to a whole new level. Lead singer Liam Cormier’s heated vocals and heavily personal lyrics keep the energy high throughout the album, while axe-wielding Scott Middleton’s electrifying solos and shredding riffs make you want to rock out like never before. Throw in Mike Peter’s rhythmic ferocity and you have an album that will leave you salivating for more. ‘Hail Destroyer’ will be in stores and online April 22nd 2008.
Iron Giant is: Chris Lewis (vocals), PJ Dunphy (bass), Jon Flanagan (drums), Shaun Crawford (Guitar)
IRON GIANT IS A MACHINE...a crushing, relentless, bulldozer of a band. The intensity of their live show is as legendary as their off-stage insanity, and, unlike most, you should believe the bullshit. Returning in the spring/early summer of ’08 with their second recording effort, Creator of Scars, on N.S. metal label, Diminished Fifth Records, The Giant is out to prove a point. With down tuned fury and blue collar frustration, they plan to show you that they fight, and bleed, for what they believe in. Few can match their blood and piss conviction while doing so. IRON GIANT’s Sabbath-meets-Motorhead monstrosity is the heaviest of the 'Rock' with enough ball-rumbling groove to get the whole room goin’. This is NO CLASS, HEAVY ASS, WHITE TRASH, ROCK-N-ROLL! In times of cookie cutter rock ,and here today/gone today stars, IRON GIANT isn’t a breath of fresh air....It’s a booze soaked fist in the face! Tried, tested, and all too true, this is the good shit that’ll never get old. IRON GIANT has set their sights on ’08 (hopefully!) as ' The Year of the Giant ' ... now you have been warned...IRON GIANT IS A MACHINE!

New Brunswick Songwriters’ Circle Series in Riverview
(Moncton, April 1, 2008) – The New Brunswick Songwriters’ Circle Series will hit the Riverview Arts Centre (400 Whitepine Road) on Saturday, April 19 at 8 p.m. This event is presented by the Capitol Theatre, as part of a partnership between the two Greater Moncton venues.
Chris Colepaugh, Robin Anne Ettles, Darcy Mazerolle and Mel Keith are the core group of the songwriters’ tour. For the Riverview performance, Steve LeBlanc, currently of Tracy Starr fame, will join the musicians on stage.
The show has a singer-songwriter format, where the artists share the stories that inspire and accompany their songs. The artists also contribute spontaneously to each others’ performances, and their inevitable camaraderie adds to the charm of the circle’s performance atmosphere.
The show’s concept was developed from a taping of the Rogers Songwriters’ Circle at the Capitol Theatre in Moncton, where Chris, Robin, Mel and Darcy were the four key players. Host Blair Patton hardly got a word in edgewise as the artists joked with each other, had the crowd participate actively in the show and spontaneously played and sang on each other’s songs. This combination of music and high spirits made for a memorable evening; so much that artist manager Lynn Daigle of Malkin Music (a New Brunswick-based artist management company) packaged the show and brought it to the venues.
Tickets for the New Brunswick Songwriters’ Circle Series at the Riverview Arts Centre are on sale at the Capitol Theatre box office, Frank’s Music and l’Université de Moncton, for $13.50. Tickets can also be purchased by phone at (506) 856-4379 or 1-800-567-1922 or online at www.capitol.nb.ca.

We, the Undersigned; 867 Regent Street, Fredericton, NB, Canada, E3B 3Y7 Tel: 506-472-5489
“WE, THE UNDERSIGNED” EMBARKING ON SECOND MAJOR QUEBEC-ONTARIO TOUR
"We, the Undersigned” are invading Central-Canada this spring, with sixteen tour-dates extending from the 27th of March until the 13th of April, 2008. The lads will be kicking-off in their home town of Fredericton, NB alongside Parisian metal-heads “Four Question Marks”; the next morning, the treacherous road to Quebec awaits. After their Montreal, Manotik, and Kingston shows, “WTU” will be combining forces with Year-of-the-Sun Records’ protégés, Guelph-based “Of the First Born Son”, for the majority of their remaining Ontario shows. Please visit www.myspace.com/wtu for more information on tour dates/times/locations.
Earlier in the year, We, the Undersigned headlined a wall-to-wall crowd at the first ever heavy metal showcase at the East-Coast Music Awards --along with other established rockers, including “Iron Giant” and “Orchid’s Curse”. WTU were later invited to share the stage with "Protest the Hero" for the majority of the New Brunswick portion of their tour. The shows enabled WTU to reveal new compositions to the masses and to welcome newcomer, guitarist Brandon Larocque, into the WTU family.
We, the Undersigned have played with other notable acts, such as "Cancer Bats", "The End", and "Ten Second Epic"--further building upon an extensive east-coast following. In August 2007, their first major, self-financed tour took the boys to Quebec and Ontario. A bludgeoning union of metal and hardcore, We, the Undersigned strive to aggressively displace the status quo. WTU’s music has been described as being "rousing, high energy and delightfully gritty" (Nightwaves Online Zine), and that the sound has “fantastic and wholly unexpected elements that make the album very fresh “ (Diminishied Fifth Records’ Horns High Online Zine). With soaring vocals, hip shakin’ grooves, and cutting, stigmata inducing guitars, this sound fears only the derivative.

LOVE AND SONG BEGIN AT HOME:
a tour of New Brunswick’s most decorated singer-songwriters
hits New Brunswick’s top performing arts venues in April 08
Moncton, NB – Among these 7 songwriters: 3 East Coast Music Awards and 12 nominations; 3 CBC Galaxie Rising Star nominations; 2 nods from the International Songwriting Competition; 1 grand prize of the Extreme Music Series national competition; 1 Contact East Award for touring excellence; touring experience in at least 10 different countries; and over 300 000 kilometres of touring clocked in North America alone.
These songwriters are from New Brunswick, and now they are all on tour together.
Chris Colepaugh, Robin Anne Ettles, Darcy Mazerolle, and Mel Keith are the core group of the tour, and will take the stage one month from today, starting April 17. The tour is aptly named the New Brunswick Songwriters’ Circle Series, and will hit the Imperial Theatre in Saint John, the Playhouse in Fredericton, and the Riverview Arts Centre (a co-presentation with Moncton’s Capitol Theatre). Rounding out the line-up are special guests Jessica Rhaye (Saint John), Ross Neilsen (Fredericton), and Steve LeBlanc, currently of Tracy Starr fame (Moncton). The show has a singer-songwriter format, where the artists share the stories that inspire and accompany their songs. The artists also contribute to each others’ performances, and their inevitable camaraderie adds to the charm of the circle’s performance atmosphere.
The tour has a particular significance for Robin Anne Ettles, who received a Canada Council for the Arts grant in 2007, specifically to travel about New Brunswick and compose songs inspired by the province itself. “It was a very privileged thing to be able to do, to spend time exploring our home province and reacting to it musically, and without creative limitation,” relates Ettles. “Some of these songs will be performed on the Songwriters Series tour and I really look forward to making the final album recording this year.”
Regarding the tour itself, Ettles feels much anticipation. “I admire all of these artists and it means a lot to me to be a part of this with them. We all know each other and have a good time together. Also, I think it speaks volumes that New Brunswick’s major performing arts venues booked this show. Given the accomplishments of our artists, and the timing of this tour following the highly successful East Coast Music Awards held in New Brunswick, it’s great that venues and artists continue to promote ‘their own’. Plus, I hope people come to the show just because of how fun it is!”
The show’s concept was developed from a taping of the Rogers Songwriters’ Circle at the Capitol Theatre in Moncton, where Chris, Robin, Mel, and Darcy were the four key players. Host Blair Patton hardly got a word in edgewise as the artists joked with each other, had the crowd participate actively in the show, and spontaneously played and sang on each other’s songs. This combination of music and high spirits made for a memorable evening; so much that artist manager Lynn Daigle of Malkin Music (a New Brunswick-based artist management company) packaged the show and brought it to the venues.
Don’t miss an evening that is about much more than just musical performance. The New Brunswick Songwriters’ Circle Series takes place at the following venues and times, with links for ticket information:
