Hamilton hometown heroes The Arkells are travelling wide and far but are keeping their love for Steeltown alive nevertheless. If only every city had a team of champions such as these kids, repping their city at every opportunity. But you get back what you give and it much be something sweet the Arkells kats were raised on down there in the once termed Armpit of Canada because they give back and back and back and in their latest video, for "People's Champ", they give back some more and shout our some of their fave locations in the Hammer, bigging up their city yet again.

The band have a hometown gig coming up - June 23 at the Tim Hortons Fields. The Rally will also see Ellevator, Bishop Briggs and Cold War KIds on the bill.
