SamaritanMag Features Arkells On Eve Of Hometown Fest

By Aaron Brophy

Canadian rock act Arkells have become one of the country's biggest bands since forming a dozen years ago. So big, in fact, they've created their own music festival at a stadium in their hometown of Hamilton, Ontario, just outside Toronto, with some of the proceeds benefitting the thousand Syrian refugees the city has settled recently.


Taking place this Saturday, June 23, at Tim Hortons Field, The Rally, as it's being called, will feature Arkells, American band Cold War Kids, English singer Bishop Briggs and local act Ellevator.

Read the SamaritanMag interview with band member Max Kerman to find out more about Saturday’s show, and why the band chose this cause.

Taylor Swift’s ‘Patient Zero’ Ends Ella Langley’s ‘Choosin’ Texas’ Reign on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100

The pop superstar's newest single dethrones the chart-topping country hit, which spent 21 weeks at the top — tying Alex Warren's "Ordinary" for the second most weeks at No. 1.

Taylor Swift has unseated Ella Langley from No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 — a mere few weeks before the country singer was slated to make chart history.

Following the release of The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore, Swift scores her 15th No. 1 song on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 with “Patient Zero,” on the chart dated Oct. 10. It’s a major milestone in the U.S. too, with Swift securing her 16th No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100.
