WThanks for coming out to the recent gigs at Rendezvous and the Heart Of The City festival. Had a good time!!
Get ready for the real Shit!
Here's the really big (but now old) news: The INDIAN POLICE have gone undercover!
We have now changed our official name to CRUNCHLIFTER, naming ourselves after our most recent album. Due to endless pressures from the RACIST overlords, we have decided to become the world's first Indian Police cover band. We still play the same songs and have the same members, but now we are PISSED!
Now just think: if YOU don't want to see us change our name, imagine how hard it must be for US. We've BEEN the Indian Police for over TEN FUCKING YEARS. The name Indian Police is hardcore. It is hardcore to the same level as our friends Dead Jesus and Nashville Pussy. But it is MORE hardcore than those, because controversy in the name of religion or in the name of sex is still WAY more acceptable to the uneducated masses than the issue of RACE.
Why is the word INDIAN so controversial? Our band was named after an ACTUAL law enforcement agency of the late 1800s, which was comprised entirely of Native Americans. We wanted to force people to look inside themselves and think about what makes them so uncomfortable about the word INDIAN. Do we feel a sense of guilt because, unlike (for example) Israel which was taken from the Palestinians, the Europeans stole TWO WHOLE CONTINENTS from our Native brothers, and practised such a wholesale genocide that nothing could EVER make it right?
We have played over 100 gigs in Edmonton alone, and in front of members of ALL races, colors, and creeds. The ONLY people who EVER gave us a hard time about our name were invariably WHITE. We were denied playing at a certain venue because the RACIST owner didn't want THOSE kind of people coming to her club. Guess what kind of people. If you're not sure, go to where the skinheads hang out, and count the faces you see of Native descent. Not that I'm trying to slam someone in an unprofessional attitude, but I'm sick of all the CRAP! (and everyone else who believes in us and gave us gigs--Fox, JJ's, Red's, Stars, halls rented by our buddies, Sidetrack, Blues on Whyte, Duster's, etc, etc, etc, ---props out for recognizing the rock movement, and giving us a chance).
But enough anger and ranting, it's time to move FORWARD. We are still jamming hard, still crazy as ever (CRAZIER!), and still ready to ROCK some goddam BLUES FROM HELL! Thanks to all of our friends and fans who stuck with us through 44 gigs at the Fox and Hound's, to Cory Richard, who always believes in us and always books us, to our hardcore bros in the Deadmonton Metal Scene (No One's Alone, Necronaut, Dead Jesus, Some Won Spit, Lure, War March, Septimus (and Pam for starting this website), Uncle Jimmy, Tyrant, Section VIII, Disciples Of Power, Teenage Surf Invasion, Blues Rock Brian, Heavy Metal Brian, Spawned By Rot, Quietus, Slit Wrist Society, Defeat, Nothing At All, The Heartbroken, Change Methodical, and WHO THE FUCK EVER WE FORGOT!!!), and everyone else who has JOINED THE I.P. throughout the years of our continuing reign of terror!
Get ready for CRUNCHLIFTER, Motherfuckers!
