Radio - Sunday, May 2nd, 2021

Tonight's EXD will feature a set of lesser known anarchist bands from the UK scene, a set on police violence (playing catch up with the George Floyd case), an anti nuke tribute in honour of the 35th anniversary since Chernobyl melted down, and a set of song titles that sound absurd. Pok Gai from Ottawa in our demo feature. And that brief doesn't cover all the directions we get into for tonight's punk extravaganza. Download the show here.

CHIN-CHIN - We Don't Wanna Be Prisoners (Farmer / Mississippi)

Anarcho punk

I have been reading Ian Glasper's book "The Day the Country Died" which writes about many bands in the anarcho punk scene in the UK and I have been coming across some of these lesser known bands so I thought I would put together some songs from some of these bands. 

ZOUNDS - Little Bit More (Rough Trade / Overground)
ICONS OF FILTH - Virus (Corpus Christi)
THE SAMPLES - Dead Hero (No Future / Mad Butcher)
THE DISRUPTERS - Gas the Punx (Radical Change) 
RUBELLA BALLET - Money Talks (Ubiquitous)

ZODIAC PANTHERS -. Total Waste of My Time (Self-Released)
THE BLACK HALOS - Lost in the 90s (Sub Pop)
THE VAPIDS - Kissin’ the Carpet (Double Hell)
BITERS - Gypsy Rose (Earache)
SNIDE - Go On
THE ROUTES - Society (Action Weekend / Bickerton)

Last week when we were preparing the show the George Floyd case had just been announced so we didn't have time to react so this week we have a set about police violence.

THE ROWDIES - A.C.A.B. (Bird's Nest)
