Psychic Jailbreak (Uk)

Vinyl LP pressing. Several months on from founding guitarist Scott Middleton leaving the band, Cancer Bats are back with their first album without him: Psychic Jailbreak. The Toronto hardcore punk kings admit that they knew album number seven "had to be special" given the line-up change, with vocalist Liam Cormier explaining of the mood going into it: "Our band has never been one sole member tasked with all the writing. Over the last 15 years of releasing albums, it's been a collaboration of the four of us forming all musical ideas. That being said, we knew that the three remaining Bats would have to prove our worth with this next album. We wanted to show Cancer Bats fans that an exciting new future was in store for us. To say the stakes were high on this album, would be an understatement. We were all feeling a mix of excitement and nerves as we began tracking the 11 songs that would form this record."
