    Anyone here heard of GrimSkunk (the band) or Indica (their label)? They’re this awesome hard rock/punk band from Montreal, Canada that have been around since the ‘80s and they started Indica in ’97 for themselves and to sign other up and coming groups.

    they just released a new album called Fires Under the Road, first single "America Sucks" and I recently read that they're playing in Toronto at lee's palace on Dec. 16th, $13, starts at 10pm.

    Awesome. I’m definitely going and if you’re in the city you should check em out.

    Anyway, it got me thinking. what does commitment to artistic freedom really mean? lots of bands claim to have it but are signed to huge, very hands-on labels. especially with rock/punk music, it seems pretty contrary to sing about f**king the system while collecting checks and taking direction from rich record execs whose main focus is the bottom line.

    Seems to be the lastest trend on this board to advertise gigs on the other side of the world. At least this one is about a relatively unknown band/lable.
