Whitby, Ontario based hardcore/progressive outfit PROTEST THE HERO have posted the following message:
"Some fuckin kid has taken it upon himself to inform quite a few people that our next tour and couple dates are cancelled due to an upcoming court date and assault charges.We would just like to acknowledge that it's all bullshit, this kid is bat-shit crazy.
So consider the rumor mill shut down. We'll be in Hamilton at McMaster University Friday - see you there."

Guitarist Tim Millar has issued the following update:
"You can get tickets to all the upcoming Canadian shows here. We're going to be playing or as we said "Farting out" Fortress start to finish and it's going to be the last time we'll be playing in a while and first and probably last time we play 'Bone Marrow'. We're going to be focusing on the new record in the new year and not be doing any shows until it's done. Probably the best reason to come would be to see our new hilarious haircuts. We're the least hairy we've been since we were 16 year old punks. I might start spiking my hair again.For those of you that are the contesters, you can win free tickets here, where you get some treats from us and the chance to stand side stage where it's probably sounds the worst, and the view is just the backs of our heads and our fat asses but hey, it's free tickets.
So hope to see everyone out at these shows."
