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.

Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Not Like Us’ Quoted by New Orleans Saints Coach in Postgame Victory Speech

"Man, that's a hell of a win guys," head coach Dennis Allen said in the locker room.

The New Orleans Saints shocked the NFL community on Sunday (Sept. 15) with a dominant victory over the Dallas Cowboys 44-19 to keep their undefeated season going. With vibes through the roof after pulling off the upset inside Dallas’ AT&T Stadium, Saints head coach Dennis Allen quoted Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” during his postgame speech to the team in the locker room, which fired up the players.

“Man, that’s a hell of a win guys,” Allen said. “We said we had to come in and play our brand of football and that’s exactly what we did. We played the way the Saints have to play this game. And look, sometimes you just gotta f–king pop out and show ’em.”
