Battles on was recorded in Toronto, Ontario at the Lincoln County Social Club with producer Chris Stringer (The Coast, Ohbijou, Timber Timbre, Rush) and this twelve song affair is even more super-charged and hook heavy than their previous effort.

A NORTHERN CHORUS ANNOUNCE FINAL SHOWS - Thursday 12 June, 2008 Friday, June 06, 2008
Our good friends in A NORTHERN CHORUS have sadly decided to call it a day and have issued the following statement.
"Wayward Luminaries,
After eight years of hard work, four albums, several hundred concerts and
enough tour kilometres to circle the earth four times we have decided to
put A NORTHERN CHORUS to rest. I don't think it is really possible to sum
up what this band has meant to us. It has been such an ingrained part of
our lives. The only way to come close would be to list everyone that has
supported us along the way. That would definitely bring back a flood of
memories BUT it would also take several pages, so... you know who you are.
While it is not feasible to head out on a "farewell tour" of sorts, a huge
thanks go out to all of the ANC fans across the globe." We will be
playing two farewell shows in Canada.
Fri. June 27th @ The Horseshoe, Toronto
With guests: Bellewoods, Dan Griffin & The Regrets, & Electroluminescent
http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=16559572733
Sat. June 28th @ The Casbah, Hamilton
With guests: Tusks, & Electroluminescent
http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=17430682132
Limited edition silkscreen posters will be available at these final shows.
Thanks for listening,
A NORTHERN CHORUS"
They will be missed!
