Moved to San diego and started up this band and we are going to hear a song from a 2014 release called “Not Just Solitary Beings”. This is a song called “Adapting to the New World”.

Played that in honour of Pride which is on-line this year and most of the celebrations have been this weekend. The LGBTQ community continues to be the most active against police racism in this city. ABSURD SS were next with a brand new release and we heard a song called “Absurd Society System”. And that was followed up by a tri state oi band called INTIMIDATION and we heard another song about our time called “Isolation” off a brand new demo of theirs.

Tribute to Rosie Davis
Rosie Davis passed away earlier this week and it has had a big impact on our community. I knew her as the singer in OUTCRY, an anarchist band from Halifax that played our show, but I was first introduced to Rosie as a host on SHEXD. In an interview with OUTCRY I would come to understand that she played in many bands and different instruments. Guitar in VIXENS, vocals in OUTCRY, bass in ZYGOME. Many punk scenes are reeling this week because she became members of many of these scenes in Halifax, Toronto, and Montreal. Mostly in Halifax where she was from, but in 2014 she went to school in Toronto and was in this all star band called CONUNDRUM. In 2008 Rosie was in a band called RULE OF THUMB that released a CD titled “Infelicitas” on Rot Records. In 2011 she played guitar in VIXENS an all women hardcore band with a tape and a 12” that came out on La Vida Es Un Mus. We are going to start a set of music featuring bands that Rosie Davis was in with VIXENS and a song called “Broken Scenes”.

VIXENS - Broken Scenes (La Vida Es Un Mus)
ABJECT PAX - Ratzinger (Self-Released)
CONUNDRUM - Confined (Self-Released)
OUTCRY interview explaining “Chatter”
OUTCRY - Chatter (CIUT)
IMBOLIX - No Spring (Self-Released)
ZYGOME - Mental Murder (Self-Released)

Rosie played bass and sang in ZYGOME. This came from a demo that came out in 2018. She played guitar in Abject Pax. The band released a demo in 2012 and an ep on Sewercide in 2013. Ratzinger appeared on both. We heard the demo version. Rosie lived in Toronto in 2014 and played in a band called CONUNDRUM that featured members of Weak Link, Mighty Atom, Vixens, New Armour, Abject Pax, Concrete Asylum, and Severe. OUTCRY were an anarcho punk band around between 2016 and 2017. After much follow up we were able to record them in the hallway at the station and here is a song from that. IMBOLIX were an all women punk band from Halifax in 2017. SHEXD will be doing a show in August where they will pay a greater tribute to Rosie by dedicating the show to her. Rosie had an impact on many people and will be missed. If you are able to contribute to a gofundme campaign called Rosie Forever to pay for a memorial tribute for Rosie.
