Buried Inside

Buried Inside are a hardcore band from Ottawa that have been around for 13 years and are playing their last show on November 13th. A good friend of mine, Matias Palacios-Hardy, plays guitar in the band and we have been talking about all sorts of things that span the Ottawa scene and intersect with Buried Inside. We will look at Buried Inside's origins from the Union of Uranus and 5 Arlington Days through to the recent "Spoils of Failure" with a retrospective look at how the band has developed and why they are breaking up. Tune in tonight.

Thanks to all those who pledged to keep CIUT on-air. And thanks to Bennett Phillips and Positive Paul for coming in to help come on-air and answer phones. We just made our goal. The radio station wasn;t recording the show so we don;t have a download for this one. You missed some neat clips reviewing the past six months and you missed a number of world premiers for local material not out yet.

Flyer - Saturday October 23, 2010


Total Trash went on first. They were awesome especially if you like the early F.U.s sound. This was supposed to be a CD release party, but the band didn't have any copies with them.

Bleak Reality from Pennsylvannia played in the middle they sounded an awful lot like Negative FX.

Just back from a three week tour of Europe Urban Blight had some great stories about traveling around England, Northern Europe (Denmark, Sweden) and Germany. They also had copies of the "More Reality" 12" with a new cover and their new "Total War" 7". They sounded great and also had a Negative FX sound. Great to see them.

CIUT Fall Membership Drive

Sunday October 24th, Equalizing-X-Distort will be involved in CIUT’s semi-annual fundraising drive. Starting at 10:00pm, we will be asking you to support the radio station by becoming or renewing your membership with CIUT as a “Friend of 89.5 FM”. A $25.00 donation will allow CIUT to continue bringing punk and underground hardcore to the airwaves.

Equalizing-X-Distort is a two hour hardcore show that airs every Sunday night from 10:00 pm til midnight. We have been very lucky to be able to continue bringing you hardcore from emerging international scenes, which has always been a big part of the show.

CIUT, the radio station that we program EQUALIZING-X-DISTORT on, is in a situation where we have to fundraise, in order to be able to make up the difference in our operating expenses. Equalizing-X-Distort was unable to make our donor goals and the show has been red-lined by the station. In order to make our on-air pledge goals we need to hear from you or else the show may not be on the air in the future.

I am getting in touch, to see if you would make a pledge donation to become a “Friend of 89.5” on behalf of EQUALIZING-X-DISTORT, to help the station meet our operating expenses.

The station would also like to thank you for your gift. For folks who donate a certain amount we have a unique station gift for you. For a gift of:

__ $25.00 - $74.00: Year long subscription to Friends of 89.5 newsletter
