Saw them twice in Toronto way back when, the gigs were about 2-3 weeks apart right around the time Relationship Of Command came out. First show before the album had about 200 peeps in downstairs area of the Reverb (currently being demoed) and the second was upstairs where there was 1200-1500(way over capacity). You could tell at the time they weren't ready for the hype machine.
They were on the cover of NOW Magazine the week they played here and I remember Cedric calling them out on some shit they wrote and the comparisons to Nirvana were BS and unfair. I also remember him during the second gig threaten to walk off the stage if the idiots in the front didn't stop "slam dancing, pushing, punching and being violent fuck heads". Shit almost hit the fan with people throwing beers on stage, but they ended up finishing the gig. They were pretty intense on stage and generally tore the shit out of it, both nights were no exception.
Anyways, that's my "cool story, bro" of the day. Interested to see what they've got to offer this time around. Kinda seems like a bad idea, but who knows.
