Cancer Bats are a Canadian hardcore punk band from Toronto, Ontario. They have released five studio albums and six extended plays. The band is composed of vocalist Liam Cormier, guitarist Scott Middleton, drummer Mike Peters and bassist Jaye R. Schwarzer. Cancer Bats take a wide variety of influences from heavy metal subgenres and fuse them into hardcore and punk rock, and also include elements of Southern rock. Their sound has thus been likened to sludge metal, as well as to that of metalcore bands such as Converge and Hatebreed. The members of Cancer Bats have also toured and recorded as a Black Sabbath cover band under the name Bat Sabbath.
History
Early years and Birthing the Giant (2004–2006)
Cancer Bats was founded in May 2004 by drummer Liam Cormier and guitarist Scott Middleton, a former member of Toronto heavy metal band At the Mercy of Inspiration. The two wanted to form a project that combined their favorite parts of bands like Entombed, Refused, Black Flag, Led Zeppelin and Down, among others. The lineup was completed with the addition of Andrew McCracken on bass and Joel Bath on drums, with Cormier moving to vocals. The four-piece wrote and recorded songs for a self-released demo that saw light in January 2005, and led to Canadian independent record label Distort Entertainment signing the band.
Michael Leslie "Mike" Peters (born 25 February 1959) is a Welsh musician, best known as the lead singer of The Alarm. After the band split up in 1991, Peters wrote and released solo work, before reconstituting The Alarm in 2000. Additionally, he is co-founder of the Love Hope Strength Foundation. Between 2011 and 2013, Peters was the vocalist for Big Country as well as The Alarm.
Early life
Peters was born in Prestatyn and grew up living in The Crescent Hotel in Edward Henry Street, Rhyl, with former The Alarm band member Eddie MacDonald. The name of the street became the inspiration for a track on the album of the same name, released as part of The Poppyfields Bond of albums. On "Edward Henry Street", Peters describes his life growing up in Wales.
Peters' first job was a computer operator. He worked on an old IBM System 3mainframe with an operating system of RPG II. It was a data card based system that seen in today's terms was very primitive.
Musical career
1970s
Peters' musical debut came on 10 October 1975, when he fronted Harry Hippie (named by the disc jockey James Alexander Barr), a band formed with his schoolmates to perform at his sister's 21st birthday party at the Talardy Hotel in St Asaph. The first song performed that night was a cover version of "If You Think You Know How To Love Me" by Smokie.
"We were called The Toilets originally — we were flushed with success."
"I really want to look at the video tape under better circumstances so I can get a better look at, ... I'm sure I'll be able to do some good with it."
"He (the driver) was able to get out of his vehicle (but) I think the gunshot wounds that he received in the car were fatal,"
"My dad and his friends wanted to give the children something to look out their windows and see during the holiday season."
"We believe in personal choice, rather than society dictating how we must live our lives."
"My outlook for the future is still the same as for any healthy person of my age. The only difference is that now I have to learn how to live with cancer. If I respond well to the chemotherapy, I can hopefully put the cancer into remission for another ten years or even longer."
"It looks like all the gunshots were fired inside"
"We're still finalizing the design and selecting the contractors. (The design) is still shifting and changing."
"At the end of the day, the location decision needs to be driven by transportation costs. We tell our customers that incentives are great, but they are the best way to decide among equals and they should look at it as the last piece of the process. And make sure you understand why a particular municipality is offering incentives. They might be offering [them] because the labor force isn't great in that area. [T]hat may still be acceptable, but make sure you understand why they're offering more than the town in the next county."
"With all the constructions planned for downtown, there will be interruptions to businesses. They're going to affect city traffic patterns and parking issues and we want to be on top of it before it happens."
"We were called The Toilets originally - we were flushed with success."
In 1983, The Alarm supported U2 on their War tour of the United States, the two front men, Bono and Mike Peters, have kept in touch ever since. To mark 30 years since the release of The Alarm's debut album Declaration, Mike Peters and BBC National Orchestra Of Wales collaborated on a special concert for BBC Radio Wales Music Day 2014. All four members of U2 paid tribute to Mike and The Alarm in this exclusive video message. Introduced by Alan Thompson.
