Which Canadian independent alternative rock, ska, and reggae rock band from Burlington, Ontario toured with Parachute after the release of Overnight?
Overnight (album) Overnight is the third studio album by American pop band Parachute. It was released on August 13, 2013 by Mercury Records. In this album, the band was pushed further into the pop music industry by creating a new, more upbeat sound that was not heard as much in their previous albums. Parachute immediately began touring upon the release of this album. They started the tour off by headlining with Matt Hires, followed by a tour with Walk off the Earth and Gavin DeGraw.
The Consumer Goods The Consumer Goods was a Canadian indie rock/pop band originally from Winnipeg, Manitoba. Their politically charged music earned both praise and contempt, and made them controversial figures in the Canadian indie rock scene in the 2000s. Between 2005 and 2012, they released four records and scored two significant hits including "…Sam Katz," a polemic against Winnipeg's mayor that went into heavy rotation on local radio, much to Sam Katz's embarrassment, and "Hockey Night in Afghanada," an anthemic call for the separation of hockey and war-mongering that "managed to thoroughly embarrass the folks at CBC Sports when they submitted the song to CBC's contest to replace the Hockey Night In Canada Theme." The band also toured Canada extensively, appeared on the cover of "Uptown Magazine", charted in over 50 independent radio stations in Canada and the US, and were nominated for two awards (including one of CBC's annual listener-selected "Bucky Awards"). Principally powered by activist/teacher Tyler Shipley, the band relocated to Toronto in the late 2000s and released its final album there, produced by Dale Morningstar and featuring Dave Clark and Bob Egan. They are often compared to other politically minded acts from Winnipeg, most notably The Weakerthans and Propagandhi. The Consumer Goods appeared on the Winnipeg-based Grumpy Cloud Records.
