We’re thrilled to take part in Artists for Sudan, a coming together of some of Canada’s best artists in reimagining U2’s classic “Sunday Bloody Sunday” to raise awareness of the current crisis in Sudan. The country rests on a precipice of democracy and dictatorship. Let’s use the power of music to help the people of Sudan towards freedom.

Hey friends, War Child Canada has been operating in Sudan for fifteen years, supporting children and their families on the frontline of the conflict in Darfur. For over a decade they've been providing children with clean water to drink so they do not get sick, families with the tools and skills necessary to earn a living -- so they can lift themselves out of poverty and ensure their children have food to eat, and programs that train mediators to reduce tensions amongst communities and build bridges between rival factions. Please donate if you can, any donation amount is helpful.

A beautiful day for a parade! #PrideToronto2019 #Pride

Today Toronto, Canada and the entire rock and roll world lost a true legend and icon but today I lost a dear friend. Bookie was the kindest soul I ever met and a power point in my universe. There will never be another and I’ll miss ya forever. See ya down the road Cookie face. - Ben

Last summer a photographer from Frankfurt/Germany named Per Schorn per schorn fotografie asked us to be part of The Photo Booth Project. The idea was each band member gets 4 pictures taken and the whole band has 4 pictures taken together. Just like a classic photo booth. Every shot gets used. It was up to us how we wanted to act in front of the camera. Here are a few pictures from that day. Check out www.thephotoboothbook.com to see all the other bad ass bands that have been involved. Truly some amazing pictures.

Love how their voices sound for this song. Follow leturheartsing on YouTube! #btfantasticfriday

This is an old video of Ian playing This Suffering on acoustic for us for the first time. #tbt #thissuffering

Little known fact. The accordion was first patented on this day May 6th, in 1829. A meager 190 years ago today. So happy #WorldAccordionDay everyone!
