54-40

54-40

Artist

A Canadian Alt-Rock band from Tsawwassen, British Columbia. The named their band 54-40 in a semi-mocking way of wagging at former US President James Polk. Polk had an expansionist agenda which heavily desired an area of the Canada-USA border near Oregon. Polk also coined the phrase “54-40 or fight!” , a saying that would be the inspiration of the band name.
