Cancer Bats
 

Canadian hardcore/metal band. Fun music - I love the singer. They're pretty catchy, check them out. As well, despite having video play on MuchMusic, they seem to keep a pretty self-driven attitude.

This might be better off in rock/metal but whatever.

I can up the album if anyone wants it.

They sound like Maylene & The Sons of Disaster.

I've never listened to them... Is that good?

They sound like Everytime I Die.

Not really.

Bump.

One of my favorite bands, and I only got into them in September. I love their southern rock vibe.

Hail Destroyer is one of my albums of the year, surprisingly one of the most infectious as well. Still haven't got round to the other album.

It's a lot less heavy than Hail Destroyer (I'm pretty sure he doesn't scream on it), but it's really fun.

It's hard to decide which is better for me, although I'm leaning towards Hail Destroyer a bit at the moment.

Saw them supporting Gallows once... horrible

4srs?

Gallows... that's a band that keeps popping up in my last.fm reccommendations.

I'll have to check them out.

I wouldnt... theyre horrible too haha. I was tricked, still hold a grudge against those responsible ;)

I wasn't too impressed by that song I heard on Youtube. They just sound like a Comeback Kid ripoff.

Yeah i'm not that big on Gallows, avoid their Black Flag covers...

And avoid Staring At The Rude Boi's at all costs

I like the way they managed to change basically nothing about the song yet make it worse?

haha, the original itself was pretty ropey to begin with

I've recently just started to give these a shot after hearing the Deathsmarch single which i enjoyed alot. Only time will tell what my opinion of these guys is but so far i'm digging Hail Destroyer.

And even though the above comments are really old. I first heard of these guys because they were supporting Gallows (i didnt see them) but personally i thought Gallows were nothing short of incredible live. Rude Boi's is terrible though.

Still digging the Bats. Birthing The Giant is best though. They'll probably go more towards metal from here sadly.

Ive only just got into them (I heard they had been supporting Gallows who I love), and yeah, Cancer Bats are good!!

Ill check that out as its only the second album i've heard. And i guess you wont have long to find out where they go next as they have a new album due this year dont they?

Yes, I'm very much looking forward to it.

Still have to check out Hail Destroyer at some point. I have BTG and their S/T ep, which I both enjoy. Seeing them open for Alexisonfire when Crisis came out was one of the funnest shows I've been to. The Cancer Bats singer jumped in and moshed with everyone during Every Time I Die's set.

^Wanna hook me up with that self-titled EP? I've looked all over for it and had no luck. I will be your best friend.
