News:: Hey Jerks, Stop Stealing People's Shit

Musicians aren't the only people being robbed on a regular basis in North America, but it certainly seems that equipment theft is at an all time high right now. If it isn't Buck 65 losing five grand worth of gear in Victoria, it's The Sadies getting their van broken into live on security cam, and now it's Halifax's newest big-timers Wintersleep getting relieved of their equipment in Baton Rouge.

Not cool Louisiana, not cool. I know you are the home of my beloved Saints, but first you take advantage of my sneaker vanity to swindle me out of twenty American dollars during my last trip to New Orleans, and now you rob a band from my hometown whose last album was really rather tremendous. Don't you know Wintersleep's has its roots in Nova Scotia's south shore, just like your renowned Cajuns? Oh well, just get the Saints into the playoffs again and I'll forgive you.

Will Wintersleep forgive you though? I couldn't say, but they're playing New Orleans in October, so you'll have a chance to make it up to them. They're playing an assload of other American cities too this fall, so hopefully our kind American friends will come out in droves and help the guys buy some new guitars.
