Cancer Bats - "Robbed In Germany"

I've had so much stuff stolen over the years. It's pretty shitty. Bikes, cameras, backpacks at shows, wallets, and even my dignity and youth! People in general suck.

--
Liam Cormier: One thing that everyone has to deal with is being robbed. At some point in your life it's going to happen.

Truth.Explosion.Magazine: Yeah I know what you mean man!

LC: It's like your van breaking down, it happens, you just hope that it isn't too bad when it does.

TEM: Have you been robbed a lot?

LC: Been robbed a few times but this story is about the last time that it happened while in Germany.

TEM: Ight, I hope this isn't too bad. Please go on...

LC: For anyone that doesn't know, in Europe a lot times they will have apartments for bands to stay in. Sometimes they will be connected to the venue, other times they will be on the other side of town, they're always awesome because you don't have to pay for a hotel and they're always clean and comfy ...continue.

Kanye performs new songs!

Last week Kanye West surprised a lucky crowd with an impromptu a cappella performance of "Lost in the World", "Chain Gang", and "Mama's Boyfriend", three singles of his next album, Good Ass Job, rumored to be released September 4.

Last time Kayne premiered his new single was at the MTV video awards - talk about lowering your standards.

Kanye also addressed the performance on his blog, saying, "Many times in life I’ve had to deal with moments of doubt. And as it’s been a minute since I’ve performed any fresh material in front of an audience, this could’ve been one of those moments… but it wasn’t. Your energy was a gift so electric, so genuine, that it really helped me give my best. The energy was so inspiring I had to keep going!"

Check out the videos of the performance above! ...continue.
