But hold onto your toques! Your favorite polite prog-metal maniacs ANCIIENTS (yes, they misspelled “ancients” on purpose – rebel poets with riffs) refuse to be basic. Fresh off JUNO wins and a lifetime supply of “sorry’s,” they’re dragging CANCER BATS, TEETH, and CHASTITY on a strictly Canadian crusade this spring. Think of it as “Hinterlands Appreciation Hour,” but with more blast beats.
The party kicks off April 3rd in St. John’s (Newfoundland – yes, that place with the adorable puffins)Fun fact: ANCIENTS once wrote a song so heavy it scared a moose off Highway 1 and winds down April 25th in Saskatoon (Saskatchewan’s hidden gem, apparently). Bonus stop: Montreal’s Pouzza Fest on May 16th for poutine-fueled pandemonium.
