Cancer Bats announce new EP ‘You’ll Never Break Us: Separation Sessions Vol. 1’
CANCER BATS have announced a new EP!
Titled You’ll Never Break Us: Separation Sessions Vol. 1, the upcoming EP from the Canadian hardcore punk band features six acoustic renditions of classic CANCER BATS songs and will be released later this month, via Bat Skull Records/New Damage Records.
All proceeds raised from the sale of the EP will be donated to Water First NGO, an organisation that helps to train interns in water purification in order to help their communities have access to clean drinking water. “While we are excited for fans to hear and enjoy these new renditions, the other goal for this project is to raise funds and awareness for the clean water crisis that still exists within Canada for many Indigenous communities,” shares vocalist Liam Cormier.
Continuing to speak about the upcoming EP, Liam Cormier says, “after having our road dog existence of constant touring over the past 15 years halted due to the pandemic, and with all four band members, now spread across Canada in separate cities, towns and Provinces, we haven’t been in the same room since March. While separated from each other, we thought what better time to re-examine and record new versions of six classic BATS tracks. With the end of 2020 just around the corner, the optimistic lyrics to Deathsmarch seem to ring truer now than when first shouted in 2008, ‘Hey World You’ll Never Break Us, try your hardest, try your hardest’.”
Alongside the announcement of the new EP, the band have released the first song from the upcoming release; Deathsmarch To A New Acoustic Beat.
