Dirty Bird "Burn" cassette

This is Dirty Bird's first release called "Burn". The release was a cassette and it came out on Fans of Bad Productions. Josh from Mud sang in the band, Adam and James from One Blood played guitars and bass respectively, and Dave Gonzales from Godcorp. played drums.

A few of these tracks made up their first seven inch and  "Swingback" ended up on the "Fuck The Commonwealth" comp. Many of these songs were never heard beyond the 200 copies of this tape circulated around Toronto. DB is still going strong after almost 20 years!!!

The Glorystompers "Tory Crimes" ep

The Glorystompers were from Edmonton. They were playing a traditional early UK brand of hardcore punk when it many of the scenes in North America had forgotten about this scene. In a lot of ways the band was a reannaissance band and can be credited with bringing back that sound. They recorded this EP on August 18, 1994 in Staten Island, New York. The songs found on here are :
1. Tory Crimes
2. Cornerstone Bombshell Blues
3. Games
