Cancer Bats






Origin: Toronto, Ontario
Genre: Metal
Recent Release:  Bears, Mayors, Scraps & Bones







Seriously, what an odd name for a band but it kind of grows on you over time. Cancer Bats produces some good old fashioned Metal that makes you want to thrash your head around. Their sound is very raw, gritty, and grungy. This group only knows how to play one style, fast and hard. Who could go wrong with that?

It is difficult to describe them in words, so you should just check out their songs. Start off with, "Diamond Mine" and "Smilingly Politely" my two favorite songs of theirs. Next for some real head thrashing tunes listen to "Hail Destroyer" (note: the chorus is simply vicious) and "Sorceress".

Even if you are not big fan of Metal I recommend you check out Cancer Bats' cover of the Beastie Boys song "Sabotage". Come on it's Beastie Boys so you got to check it out, plus it turned out to be an awesome cover.
