Canadian hardcore band Cancer Bats were dealt a devastating blow overnight with their van, trailer, gear and merch all being stolen after their show in Indianapolis, IN. While the van and trailer were later recovered, their equipment and merchandise were both lost to the theft, with their van also requiring repairs. A statement issued via the band’s social media today, April 21st, read:
“LAST NIGHT AFTER OUR SHOW IN INDIANAPOLIS OUR VAN AND TRAILER WERE STOLEN FROM OUR HOTEL WHILE WE SLEPT, WEVE RECOVERED THE VAN BUT TRAILER AND ALL OUR EQUIPMENT AND MERCHANDISE ARE GONE.

The band further added:
