“Set Fire! isn’t intended solely to mean ‘burn everything down,’ ” says Schuller. “It also means set a fire under everyone’s ass, to try to inspire and motivate people to get off their ass and make change and put compassion and caring about other people ahead of everything else. … We’re trying to inspire people to have a revolution of the heart. In a lot of ways, it’s the kind of thing the Dalai Lama might preach …”

Quebec band GrimSkunk has found inspiration from every corner of the globe throughout its 24-year career. For its newest album Set Fire!, the eclectic psych-punk band let the Land Down Under steer its creativity. The five-piece band went all the way to Australia to lay down the album, picking up whatever equipment it could find nearby. The result is a collection of politically-charged songs that ricochet between hardcore punk and psychedelic rock (complete with organ), plus a smattering of dub, folk and metal. Lyrically, Set Fire! straddles the fine line between punk rock angst and hippie idealism, hitting a perfect contrast to complement the fusion of sounds.

As GrimSkunk had it’s start well before all this began taking place, they were able to build up a fan base and remain successful. With this upcoming tour, which begins with shows in big cities like Winnipeg and Edmonton, GrimSkunk will then head into the mountains to take on smaller places like Banff and Canmore. As for their music – and their new album Set Fire! – much of it comes with a dark, foreboding theme, with songs like “Set Fire To The Nation,” “Everybody Hates You” and “F--- S--- Up.”

The psych-punk-rock band’s spirit is described as pure, raw energy and emotion, amongst a whirlwind of punk angst and outrage, and the hopeful, almost hippy idealism of those who dare to dream. Now touring to promote their newest album ‘Set Fire!’ recorded in Sydney, Australia, the group will travel from Winnipeg to Vancouver in the month of October, with a total of 10 stops. Set Fire! Is said to be a musical journey to the other side of the world, focusing on the band’s use of spontaneity and instinct during the creative process.

Set Fire! [...] showcases the genre-blending unit's "whirlwind of punk angst and outrage, and the hopeful, almost hippie idealism of those who dare to dream."

Long-running punk/metal hybridists GrimSkunk issued their latest LP Set Fire! this past May, marking the first new album from the outfit since 2006. To celebrate the feat, the classic Quebecois combo will head out west for a quickie tour this October.
