The Flatliners
 The Cultural Exchange Presents brings you the Flatliners. It's curious to think about how this Toronto, ON area punk band felt when they were nominated for a JUNO Award in 2014. Not that they're so punk that they'd brush it off; it's just that, over their decade-plus career, they've been self-starters, making hard punk-rock for their satisfaction first. And fans have loved them for it, up to and including 2013's Dead Language.
