Canadian punk/metal masters CANCER BATS are gearing up for the April 13th release of the Good Fight Music debut, Bears, Mayors, Scraps and Bones. Alternative Press Magazine’s May 2010 issue review of Bears, Mayors, Scraps and Bones brings attention to CANCER BATS’ impressive talent and writing skill. “…Toronto’s CANCER BATS are adept at stripping the fat from their influences and dealing strictly in the reddest, juiciest of meat.”

“I can’t wait for this record to finally be out,” comments vocalist Liam Cormier on the release of Bears, Mayors, Scraps and Bones. “We’ve been sitting on this thing for the last 4 months just dying to play all these new songs. I hope that people vibe on the new songs because we are all so proud of what we’ve done with this album!”

CANCER BATS are also pleased to mention their inclusion in the CMJ New Music Monthly compilation, located online for the remainder of this month and available to CMJ subscribers exclusively. Check it out at www.cmj.com!
