Jamie and I met up yesterday to relive some Problem Children memories. Tonight's show became a feature on the band trying to cover all of the band's histories from Tits, to Subterfuge, to Problem Children. We talked about their various recordings, their shows, their tours, the various line ups. It became obvious to me that Problem Children were another fantastic hardcore punk band that never got their due and should have. They had it all. They had great songs. They had a conscious. they had a sense of humour. They had gutsy hardcore songs. They played with a lot of melody. They had a totally unique sound and yet it was familiar and I remember skanking away in the pit singing word for word their anthems which I embraced as my own. They were a band that was courted by CBS, but they refused to take the bait opting instead to start up their own label, Problem Children Wrekords. An inspiring punk that lives by his own ethos that the future of the world is up to us. You can hear the show above or download an MP3 file here. Here is the few songs that we did get to play. Search out their material through Stumble Records.
