A music video for Cancer Bats‘ song “Backstab The Rat Race” has arrived online. The Canadian hardcore punk band previously shared that song this past spring in response to the outpouring of public support via a crowdfunding campaign, following the theft of their van & trailer. Speaking of the track itself, the band offered:
“‘Backstab The Rat Race‘ is all about rejecting the traps of modern society. Grinding 50+ hrs a week, at a job you hate, only to have everything in life double in price. The game is rigged. So in rejection we find our own ways to navigate this world, our own ways to win. Think past the standards set for us that don’t apply. The newest the biggest the shiniest will just keep us running in place where only banks and corporations are the real winners. Leave the game for them to play and we can enjoy our lives filled experience and joy.”
