GRIEVOUS ANGELS / Last Call For Cinderella May 7 :: Bandcamp
Many musicians talk the talk when it comes to social justice messaging in their songs, but few walk the walk like the Grievous Angels have for close to four decades. Of course, maintaining that reputation helps when co-founder and principle songwriter Charlie Angus has been an NDP Member of Parliament since 2004, representing the riding of Timmins-James Bay. But the Grievous Angels have always been, and continue to be, a collective unit dedicated to carving out a unique place within the alternative country and folk worlds with songs and live performances that reflect the tragic beauty of life in Canada’s blue collar northern frontier. Angus recently announced that he will not be seeking re-election, stating, "After 20 years fighting for people in the House of Commons, I am returning to my roots. Those roots have always been in music and grassroots activism. You can get a clear sense of how those roots come together on Last Call For Cinderella, which has been called a powerful soundtrack for dystopic times. The band takes on disinformation, the climate crisis, economic uncertainty and addiction while providing a powerful antidote of hope. And it’s a pretty kick-ass record."
