Radio - Sunday, July 9th, 2017



Started off with brand new Submachine because this city loves Submachine and the title track is bookended by awesome samples like the Price is Right sample at the end of the song. Great band, great new material. Tonight's show features a top 10 from June, a session with Blank Stares and a demo feature by Charged SS from Mexico City. We go out with a tribute to Body Heist, who's singer CJ just passed away and the memorial service was today. Download the show here.

BLANK STARES are a new punk band from Toronto that came in and recorded a session on June 13th, which was the singer's (Travis) birthday. Travis was in on the show once to do a tribute to Vassil when he passed away. They played in a band together called TERMINAL LICKS. I also knew Taras from CITY SWEETHEARTS which was a band that Vassil played in, so you can see the world's intersecting here. Mikey has also been in at the station. He dropped by once for fundraising although he doesn't remember it. Mikey plays bass in FIRST BASE and runs a great little label called Hosehead Records. And Andrew, the synth player, plays in CENTURY PALMS who have been played on the show a few times. Lots of six degrees of separation threads going on with this band and the show. I was glad to have them in and be able to celebrate Travis' borthday with a Hamburger Cake that Taras picked up. Anyway it shouldn't be understated how good this band is by their lineage. They share a strong resemblance to the UNDERTONES in terms of vocals and they have a catchy new wave vibe a la TRANZMITORS / FASHIONISM.
