Live in Whitby is a live album by Canadian grindcore band Fuck the Facts. It was recorded during a live performance on April 11, 2009 in Whitby, Ontario and released July 27, 2010.
Live in Whitby was released in two formats: a cassette limited to fifty-three copies, and a free or "pay what you want" digital format. [2] The cassette was released on the night of July 26 at midnight while the download was made available twenty-four hours later on July 27 at midnight. The download included a full set from the band as well as live photos and posters. The cassette version, which was handmade by the band, included other bonus content that was not available on the digital download. The release was dedicated to late artist and musician Michal Majewski, who designed the cover artwork.
The album was recorded live in Whitby, Ontario on April 11, 2009 at a venue called The Wing Shack by Dave Sheldon. Supporting acts were Heaps of Dead, The Unborn Dead, and F.A.T.O. [3] The recording was initially intended to be part of a DVD that never materialized. However, the band was impressed with the audio and decided to release it instead.
Artist Michal Majewski designed the poster for the Whitby show and also performed that night with F.A.T.O. Majewski died three months later on July 11, 2009. The design he used ended up becoming a T-shirt design that Fuck the Facts released. Ultimately, his artwork was used as the cover of the Live in Whitby release. [1]

An album is a collection of audio recordings issued on compact disc (CD), vinyl, audio tape, or another medium such as digital distribution. Albums of recorded sound were developed in the early 20th century as individual 78 rpm records collected in a bound book resembling a photo album; this format evolved after 1948 into single vinyl long-playing (LP) records played at 33+1⁄3 rpm.

Fuck the Facts is a Canadian Juno-nominated, grindcore band from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, formed in 1998. They began as the solo recording project of musician Topon Das. Their earliest recording was in January 1997; they began using the name Fuck the Facts in 1998. After many early recordings, including split tapes with groups from around the world, Fuck the Facts began developing a name in the underground with fans of grind. In 2001, the first full-length CD-R, Discoing the Dead, was recorded. The same year, Das would assemble a full band to continue with the project. The band has since coined the terms "bastardized grindcore" and "mullet-core" to describe their sound.

Zs is a Brooklyn, New York-based experimental band. Since the band's inception, Zs has incarnated as everything from a sextet to a duo, now solidified into the quartet of Patrick Higgins, Greg Fox (percussion), Sam Hillmer and Michael Beharie (electronics). While Zs' music has been variously categorized as no wave, noise, post-minimalist, drone, and psych, it is primarily concerned with making music that challenges the physical and mental limitations of both performer and listener. The band has been heralded by The New York Times as "one of the strongest avant-garde bands in New York."
