Bruce La Bruce is an important name in the Toronto hardcore scene. He is mostly known for his filmaking. He was one of the first people to mix hardcore punk with LGBTQ footage. One film constantly referred to is “No Skin Off My Ass”. When he was first learning his craft he hung out and lived with FIFTH COLUMN and became a go go dancer for them and appeared on some of their recordings like “The Fairview Mall Story” which will feature in this interview. He did a zine called J.D.'s. He played drums in ZuZu’s Petals. He helped coin the term “Homocore”. He wrote a LGBTQ manifesto called “Don’t be Gay” that appeared in April issue of Maximumrocknroll in 1989. He did many films featuring some amazing people in the hardcore scene. In an interview that we did in 2018 for the book “Tomorrow is Too Late” Bruce takes us through the back stories of all these projects and fills us in on a whole lot more about the punk scene back then. This is the latest installment in the feature series on the early hardcore scene in Toronto called “Tomorrow is Too Late” with a look into Bruce La Bruce. Download and MP3 here.

Belarusian punk 

A week of clashes in Minsk over contested re-elections with Alexander Lukashenko. Svetlana Tikhanovskaya refused to accept the results, but has had to flee to Lithuania. The lack of scrutiny has led to allegations of vote rigging. Wouldn’t be the first time for a satellite country of Russia. Lukashenko is even using the same dismissive conspiratorial language that Putin uses and now has the assurances of the Russian protection on the form of their military. Here are some punk bands from Belarus to let you know we are thinking about you.
