CANCER BATS and Absolute Punk have just posted the first episode of a new, bi-weekly video blog series entitled “CANCER BATS World Wide Wacky Webisodes”! A new webisode will be available at AbsolutePunk.net every other Wednesday, beginning today! The blogs will chronicle CANCER BATS entire upcoming overseas touring season, and will lead up to a United States winter tour in the works!
“Jet lag is going to kill our brains as we take 14 flights in the next month,” states singer, Liam Cormier. “Flying into England for 2 days, spending a weekend in Japan, cruising to Australia where we’re playing double headers every night, and that’s just get us warmed up for our crazy tours of the UK Europe and beyond! This whole tour is going to be bonkers! Watch as we try our best to not lose our minds!”
Absolute Punk recently unveiled CANCER BATS’ new music video for ‘Scared to Death’! The original track is cut from their GOOD FIGHT MUSIC debut, Bears, Mayors, Scraps and Bones, released on April 13th, 2010.
