"We're really psyched to be on tour with an act that's not typical for a metal band. The Monsters are a perfect fit and we hope we compliment their act as well," says the band's vocalist Dan Hodgson adding cautiously. "Expect a ton of chaos when we rip up the Maritimes together."

Burnaby Q. Orbax from Monsters of Schlock issued the following statement about their return to the east coast. "it's been years since the monsters have been to the east coast, and we're looking forward to tearing it a new party hole!"
