Fake Angine de Poitrine Touring Russia? Think Again!

Russia's music fans were on high alert when rumors surfaced about a fake Angine de Poitrine touring the country. The Québécois math rock band has built a devoted following for their unconventional sound and quirky visuals, but despite online sleuths' best efforts, they've yet to confirm their identities.

The story seemed fishy from the start, especially given Angine de Poitrine's history as heroes of Record Store Day Canada. But what really got our antennae twitching was that none of the organizers or performers involved came forward to set the record straight.

It seems we have a case of misinformation on our hands – and it highlights just how vulnerable artists are to exploitation in the digital age. As one music fan pointed out, if you can't even trust what's true online, who can you trust at all?
