Last year these Canadian post-hardcore-rock crusaders
released their awe-inspiring 6th LP, named One Day.

And the creativity kept on flowing.

New album ANOTHER DAY is planned to
be released on August 9. More info here.

Following lead-single Stimming we get a loud and
clear celebration of the beneficial effects of cannabis.
A jagged jackhammer.

Damian Abraham (front loudmouth): “Evolving side by side for millennia,
there is no other plant on earth that we have had a deeper and more fraught
relationship with. It has provided us food, clothing, fuel, sails, rope, paper,
building material, recreational entertainment and a medicine to treat countless
ailments.

The last few decades have seen immense changes begin to take place. Years
of activism would bring about “medical marijuana” programs. Medical cannabis
would act as a thin end of the wedge for recreational legalization efforts. The new
legal markets, in turn, have brought a wave of corporatization.

While the lyrics of the song continue the story that started in “Lords Of Kensington,”
they’re also meant to be a metaphor for what’s happened to cannabis post legalization
in Canada. A regulatory framework, with eyes on profits over justice and righting past wrongs, saw an industry handed over to prohibitionists and the people that enforced it over the victims of it. This song is about the death of that faze of cannabis and a hope for whatever rising in its place being better.”

Get high here.
