Brutal-sounding, but compulsive debut album from Toronto-based hardcore act, the Cancer Batsthat, which blends together perfectly old style hardcore with more modern sounding hardcore and metal


City And Colour (2007)


Live
Fantastic and heartfelt alt.folk on new live album from City and Colour, the solo project of Alexisonfire guitarist and singer Dallas Green
