Canadian hardcore punk band Cancer Bats have released a music video for “Give Me Dirt”, the title track from their eighth studio album, released on 7 August. The video, directed by Mitch Barnes, accompanies an album that the band says reflects a reconnection with nature, personal loss and environmental damage.

The album follows 2022’s Juno-nominated *Psychic Jailbreak* and was produced by Kurt Ballou and Zach Weeks at GodCity Studios. Its four members wrote the music collaboratively, while vocalist Liam Cormier developed lyrics in rural Nova Scotia; he also created large mixed-media artwork for the album rather than using digital tools.
