Members of Discharge have been banned from entering Canada. When the band tried to enter Canada to play a few shows, they were detained by authorities. The band stated their rescheduled USA tour dates are still on. Singer Jeff "JJ" Janiak stated via Facebook, "Well… I’m permanently banned from Canada. Criminal charges from 20 years ago. However they let me in to play the show for a 'low' cost of $200 as long as I leave the country after we play. Bones made it in by the skin of his teeth… Tezz / Rainy not allowed back in the USA. Karl Morris ‘Egghead’ from The Exploited, UK Subs etc. will be filling in on bass for us. Doesn’t look like Discharge will ever be allowed back in Canada… so looks like tonight will be our last Canadian show. All USA shows still on… see ya soon!"
