The hardcore scene is thriving, and at its centre are Canadian band Cancer Bats. The band may hail from Canada, but home these days is most definitely on a tour bus, as the guys take their hardcore punk sound (with some metal thrown in) to pretty much every country on the planet. Vox had the chance to catch up with them in Birmingham, where they were on tour supporting Bring Me The Horizon - just before the UK saw Cancer Bats headline their own tour last year! If you read our Cancer Bats blog we posted back in May 2010, it’s clear we’re major fans of the guys here at Dolphin Music. VOX have the pleasure of catching up with the Bat’s and find out exactly why they love VOX gear so much…

Due to a close connection to the DJ base, technology trends, design currents and user requests that were exactly tailored to the big audience of urban mixing artists have been considered time and time again. See the latest in their range here…
