Canada Denies Tsunami Bomb

Punkbands reports: Tsunami Bomb are having problems getting into Canada and have to cancel their shows in Canada. Here is a comment from the band: I was planning on writing a regular news update a few days ago, then all this happened... Much to our dismay, we were not allowed to cross the border into Canada yesterday. We had some issues with the Canadian government and they denied us and Kane Hodder at the border. We are extremely sorry that we won't get to play the five shows that were scheduled. The shows are still happening with Crowned King and The Loved Ones, and hopefully next time we try to visit our neighbors to the north, we'll make it across. As for the rest of the tour, we're currently driving across the northern US to play the show in Fargo ND and continue the tour. [see full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story
