Cancer Bats
Cancer Bats originated in May 2004 with singer Liam Cormier and guitarist Scott Middleton, former member of Toronto heavy 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 lineup was rounded out with the addition of Andrew McCracken on bass and Joel Bath on drums. The four-piece wasted no time writing and recording songs for a self-released demo that saw light in January 2005.

Canadian hardcore heroes Cancer Bats are touring the country this September. Blazing is the term that best describes the current incarnation of Cancer Bats. Since Hail Destroyer, they’ve charred the pages of Kerrang!, Alternative Press, NME, Exclaim!, and countless other top-tier publications. They’ve ignited the concert going kindling from stages at SXSW, Taste Of Chaos, Download Festival, Edgefest, Leeds, and Reading, and alongside heavyweights like Rise Against, Billy Talent, Alexisonfire, Bring Me Th...e Horizon, and Bullet For My Valentine. Still, the ultimate goal is just to share their music with people that are passionate about it.
