This program was our part of CIUT's Fall 2012 fundraising drive. Thanks to everyone who donated their time, money and gift incentives to the show. We didn't meet our goal and we still do have a few things to giveaway like the Not Dead yet pass for a $100 donation. You can make the donation at www.ciut.fm. E-mail me once you have made the donation or before hand to find out about their availability. We also have a Studio 3 DVD put together by Aldo Erdic for $50 donations. Once again contact me. The e-mail address is equalizingxdistort@ciut.fm.

Ryan and Matt from Wrong Generation joined us to talk about the merits of the Studio 3 sessions. Greg Benedetto echoed those sentiments and gave us a brief rundown on the Not Dead Yet fest. Aldo spoke to us about the DVDs and the importance of recording these sessions on a video format. The Blue Demon spoke to us about the importance of the history of the scene. Dhaibid James announced that we would start broadcasting Maximumrocknroll radio starting next week on Monday mornings from 2:00am til 3:00am. We paid tribute to Sam's book with a set. We programmed some new material to demonstrate our commitment to new material. We also programmed some sets related to people involved in the show. Have a listen.

Folks should really consider going to see this band who started 30 years ago in Marseille, France. It's not every day that a band from France is in town, let along one of this calibre. "Les enfants de l'Espoir" (The kids of Hope) has just been re-issued and I downloaded it earlier today. Reviews describe the band as a legendary oi band but I never expected the combination of this with the Clash and Madness influences. If you like bands like the Ruts you are going to love the Warrior Kids.

Zine - EXD, Volume 11, Issue 4

This is the September 2011 issue of EXD radio zine. Urban Blight is the feature interview. We did this interview originally with the band back in October 2010 just after they had gotten back from a tour in Europe. Consequently we spend a lot of time talking about the places they played. I have also been trying to get an interview with Beav about Urban Blight for years so I took the opportunity to ask him about meanings behind songs and history behind releases. I hope this covers all you wanted to know about Urban Blight. There are record reviews in here which include some new Finnish releases and some 625 releases that came in. A review of Jennifer Morton's book on BFG titled "Dirty Drunk and Punk" is in here. Nico Taus of Vicious Cycle also wrote a book about the Sudbury scene called "Songs from Nowhere" and my critiques are found in here. The big Hallowe'en fest flyer is the back cover with some of the bands playing the big three day fest in October. The show is being called "Ain't Dead Yet".

Various Artists "City Limits" LP

This is a brand new comp to come out on High Anxiety. Instead of being a city snapshot, High Anxiety has tried to capture two scene snapshots from cities who have had bitter rivalries in real life but where the punk scenes are concerned have a history of mutual respect and co-operation. Given that these bands are from Montreal or Toronto I keep thinking of the legendary "Primitive Air Raid" comp. "City Limits" evens out the representation more evenly then "Primitive Air Raid" with almost equal numbered bands and if it wasn't for the length of the four minute Inepsy and Unruled songs this would have been at even strength. In the striving to include as many bands as possible "City Limits" takes cues from some of the great Fans of Bad Productions comps like "Fuck the Commonwealth" or "Killed by Canada". However "City Limits" is able to focus on some scenes the way Schizophrenic's "Toronto City Omnibus" or "Toronto's Burning" comp has. The focus on cities reminds me of the MCR city comps, which is where Schizophrenic took some inspiration. But who is on this comp. Career Suicide are a staple to a lot of comps that have come out of Toronto and they deliver with a new unreleased song. And Brutal Knights and Urban Blight have loads of releases out themselves. Where comps make their distinction is in the new bands that they bring to the table. Purity Control, Total Trash, Molested Youth, Snakepit, the Slobs, the Omegas.....these are the sounds of the new scene. The Mad Men song is a cover of a rare Italian hardcore band from the mid-80's. See if you can figure it out.  

The track listing is:

Toronto side:
1. CAREER SUICIDE - Delusional
2. BAD CHOICE - Angry Americans
3. PURITY CONTROL - Sex Life
4. SNAKEPIT - Justice
5. MATURE SITUATIONS - Yoga Preedator
6. MAD MEN - Odia
7. SCHOOL JERKS - N/A
8. BRUTAL KNIGHTS - Bad Choice
9. MOLESTED YOUTH - Genetic Jackhammer
10. URBAN BLIGHT - False Truths
11. TOTAL TRASH - Violence
12. BURNING LOVE - Mess

Montreal side:
13. SLOBS - Outlier

14. FOREIGN BODIES - Downtown Fun

15. INEPSY - Fast Way to Die
