Punk band wins Polaris prize in Canada
Now it is very strange indeed for a band such as this to win the prize which is actually equivalent to Britain’s mercury prize. The band name itself it rather obscene as they go by “F***ed up”. However what the band are going to do with the money is something that is sure to say “you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover”.
Although band were banned from MTV afer apprently causing a near riot by wrecking a bathroom. They are not keeping it for themselves, are not spending it on booze, fags and drugs but doing something rather honourable with the money. They are off to make a benefit album to raise the awareness about the hundreds of missing aboriginal women in Canada.
The “Sisters in Spirit” already strive to raise the awareness as literally hundreds have been reported missing or murdered. They fight to provide them with the rights that any human being should have and ask why the rate of women that are going missing has been rising. As well as this they have been looking around to see if there are any major trends in the women that are being taken here.
So although the band’s front man loves to strip down to his pants and smash bottles over his head it just goes to show that the man does care about the people of his country (will pay out a lot of money that he and his band worked for) rather than keep it ri use themselves.
Taking a vacation in Canada is a great way to relax. Whether it is going to be an Alaskan cruise or just the holidays in Canada there is something for everyone. Of course if you do not like relaxing on holiday or want to take the family on a trip why not check out villas in Florida.
