Radio - Sunday, December 13th, 2020

 

 

Tonight's show features a tribute to Hammer City / Schizophrenic Records, Mortarhate compilations, sets of old and new punk and guest DJ Cat. Cat used to do a radio show in Rome called Search and Destroy and has translated some books into Italian which include one on the Cramps and one on the early rock scene in NYC. When the city is not in lockdown Cat DJs clubs under Nora Noise. Download the show here.

Hammer City Records (R.I.P.)
A few weeks back Hammer City Records was evicted from their space by a landlord looking for excuses to evict tenants. Stuff you normally see in Toronto. As gentrification becomes a thing in the Hammer the same shit is happening there. The record store connected to Schizophrenic Records is looking for a new retail space, but in the meantime I thought we could spin some releases by the label. Starting out with a band they championed early on.

Cat has guest DJed on the show before. Her scene cred extends to Rome where she did a radio show called "Search and Destroy". Cat also translated a book on the Cramps into Italian "Viaggio al centro dei Cramps". Then she translated "New York Rock: From the Rise of the Velvet Underground to the Fall of CBGB's". And when the pandemic isn't locking down the city Cat is DJing under the name "Nora Noise".

Mortarhate compilations
In the mid-80’s after CRASS had broken up and Conflict was just getting going, Conflict started a label in the same vein as CRASS records to release the new wave of anarchist bands coming out. The first one I saw was the “Who?, What?, When?, Where?, Why?” compilation in 1984, which I picked up. It was the fourth release by the label, but the first comp.
