Just got into this band last night. Downloaded 15 songs (I paid, don't worry) by them.
They were signed onto Fat Wreck Chords, which is owned by Fat Mike of NoFX, however, they are a far cry from NoFX's pop-punk goofiness, instead they are inspired by hardcore bands such as The Dead Kennedys, The Circle Jerks, and The Germs, and well they aren't afraid to be melodic, the music, as most hardcore is, is highly derivitive, with the message of the lyrics (a socialist liberal, pro-gay, pro-feminism, pro-racial unity, type) coming in first.
Canadian punk!
