Canadian punk act Cambridge are streaming the title track off their second full length album This Is Not a Victory, the first on their new label Rebel Time Records. To listen to the song, head on over to their label’s MySpace profile.

The band’s singer had this to say about the inspiration for song,

“It’s about the Tarsands and the fact that people are still arguing about whether there are environmental concerns not being addressed or the viability of continuing as it is, or any other issues put out by public relations on either side. While they debate, the workers keep working, every day gets worse and it is far beyond any sort repair. They are digging fuckin’ holes that will never be filled. Any deals were made a long time ago that make all the debating just lip service. I am taking a very cynical position. Read: Stupid to the Last Drop by William Marsden.”

This Is Not a Victory is scheduled to drop sometime this summer.

I can assure you our focus is still music (head here for a DS exclusive track), however documenting the ‘ever-dying scene’ of punk, hardcore, etc. through literature is a unique feat. Singer for New Bomb Turks Eric Davidson has had exactly this undertaking for some time now, and his hard work is paying off in the form of We Never Learn, which chronicles the garage punk movement of the late 80’s and 90’s.
