With Stephe off on vacation, tonight's show featured Rob and guest host DJ Waves. Since it was our Canada Day show, we played some CanCon and a few songs that were leftover from last week's Pride show. Waves also played an Alison Mosshart cover of a song by 70s Detroit band The Punks. Rob mentioned the Toronto-made documentary about the band "My Time's Coming" that is currently embroiled in legal issues.

Today is one of the biggest Pride events in North America, which is right here in Toronto. In the spirit of celebrating LGBTQ pride we asked James Vandervoort to guest host. James played guitar in Creative Zero and Sudden Impact when first getting into the scene and coming into his own identity and in a year that looks back at the origins of the Gay Pride movement James tells us about how punk and this movement intersected. If you want to put this on a device, download the show here.

Radio - Sunday, June 2nd, 2019





Part two of the Tomorrow is Too Late series is More Stupid Initials, more commonly known as M.S.I. This is a band that was very close to me and by that I mean they were a group of kids that I got to hang out with. They were group of friends in the scene, so they mean a lot to me. But they also played an important part of the Toronto Hardcore scene. They were Toronto's first straight edge band, but they didn't sound like a typical straight edge band. As a result they caught a lot of people off guard. So we try and get at the essence of this band decades later. Tim, Paul, Derek and Glen were in on the interview. John couldn't make it. And this interview was editted and produced by Rob Ferraz for radio. Photos by Kim Glaholm. If you listen to these on an MP3 player here is a download for an MP3 file of the show.
