King, Broken Social Scene, Tom Jones, The Tragically Hip, Ani Difranco, The Rheostatics, Michael Blake, Tony Scherr, Propaghandi and The Barenaked Ladies, naming but a few.
Throughout their career, the two have never hesitated to put their musical talents in the service of social causes they value. Following the 2001 Summit of the Americas, Chris put together the GASCD, a double compilation album dedicated to raising funds and awareness for issues regarding the impacts of economic globalization. The album has seen release in twelve countries. Early in 2003, they recorded Resist War, giving it away to thousands via the internet.
