Toronto, ON : Fresh off a ground-breaking 2007, Toronto buzz-band THE ARTIST LIFE hit the road in support of their debut EP LIVING?!

Taste-maker websites PUNKRADIOCAST.com and TRUTH EXPLOSION MAGAZINE present THE ARTIST LIFE?s the three-week Eastern Canadian tour which will see the band bring their powerhouse brand of punk-infused rock ?n? roll to Eastern Canada with Michigan?s THE SWELLERS and local openers throughout.

"We're totally stoked to get out east!" says lead singer / guitarist Ian Blackwood. "This feels like it's been the longest winter in years and there is no better way to shake off the season's blues then with a three week Eastern Canada tour with The Swellers from Flint, Michigan. I'm excited, and I know the band is excited to hit the road and play for all the fans out east."

Guitarist Dean Richards states: "Kids on the East Coast have always been excited about punk rock tours. I love playing out there because kids really respond to bands at shows in a positive way. It's refreshing to see everyone so fired up about punk rock and music in general."
