Winnipeg 

We like to make fun of Winnipeg for all sorts of reasons, but are they valid? I mean sure it’s colder there. They have brutal winters. It’s in the middle of nowhere although there are thousands of lakes up there. It is a transportation hub. It’s a place to play along the way out to the prairies and the west coast. But, here’s the thing. They have had some great bands and one of them that has remained undocumented until now is the NOSTRILS who had a punk house called the House of Beep that was the mainstay for the punk scene in Winnipeg. Supreme Echo has just released some of their material on a single called "Undaunted".

Demo Feature 
Tonight’s demo feature is a band from Winnipeg. They have a brand new 10” ep that I read a review on MRR’s site which described them as 

The impression of listening to the first couple of tracks was about DISORDER/CHAOS UK vibes but this also somehow has a F.Y.P. or Recess Records feel. Less punch or aggression, more garage punky, and sloppy, catchy (somewhat), and most importantly, fun. Artwork consists of pictures of a dump and with song titles like “We’ve Tried Nothing And We’re All Out Of Ideas” it sounds like trash in the most appropriate way possible. 

The recording is great and we’ll add a link to our blog tomorrow, but here is a demo recorded three years earlier.
