If you’d like to submit Canadian news to AbsolutePunk.net, email me at deborah.remus@absolutepunk.net or send me a PM with “Canadian Round-Up” in the subject line. I don't check the news queue often so that's probably the best way if you want to guarantee I'll see it.

Still wish the openers for that Silverstein tour were entirely different.

Stoked for the Silverstein tour and the Short Songs release

Yeah, Silverstein tour is a bummer.

Also, I've never heard of Cancer Bats' alter ego Bat Sabbath? Anyone want to shed some light on that? They are playing in Peterborough, and I have yet to see Cancer Bats, so I might go.

Edit: Ah, it's just them playing Sabbath songs. Might go anyways.

Yeah, they did some Black Sabbath cover sets in Europe and they've decided to bring it over to Canada now I guess.

Could be interesting, but I guess it depends on how much you like both bands. Cancer Bats on their own are pretty decent, I've seen them twice now.

I'm Canadian. My EP is streaming on YouTube
Eh.

I actually have included news about Swollen Members in previous round-ups. I haven't included them lately I admit, but that's because no one commented and I didn't think anyone cared, haha. I do this in my spare time, if I don't know someone reading this cares about an artist or if I'm not a fan myself, they're not going to get covered because I'd spend all day compiling these things otherwise. That's why Shad and Drake get coverage, but the others don't. I'll start including SW again and I'll keep an eye on the other one, I've never heard of him before, but I don't follow hip-hop very closely either. If you (or anyone else) wants to submit hip-hop news, feel free and I'll defintely give you credit! And if not, thanks for the feedback.
