Ottawa’s own A Tribe Called Red is back and ready for action! This week, the Juno Award-winning, Polaris Music Prize nominated group dropped their new EP, Suplex (out on Pirates Blend in Canada, and internationally on the band’s own brand new label, Radicalized Records) – available now on iTunes. The four-song EP features the group’s signature unique style of traditional Pow Wow music mixed with club sound. With guest performances by Aboriginal hip-hop veteran, Hellnback, and past Tribe collaborators, Northern Voice, the EP also features a remix of the track Bodyslam by Calgary duo, Smalltown DJs. Tribe premiered the video for the title track today on FADER. The video follows the story of a Native youth, who after growing up with no role model of his own, becomes one when he turns into a wrestling champion.
