Outcry studio 3 session

I met Rosie a year and a bit ago on SHEXD. She did a set of music on Haligonian punk bands and we spoke about trying to get Outcry to come in and record a session. Well tonight this plan came to being. I almost met Steve, the guitarist, when we did an interview with Alienation, but he was too sick to come in. Steve plays in a lot of bands from Halifax as do Adam (Bass) and Johnny (Drummer). It's rare that we get out of town bands into the studio so in the interview (Part 1 and Part 2) we took every opportunity to ask about the goings on in Halifax. More photos can be found on our facebook page. Look for the Outcry album.

The songs recorded include:

1. Chatter
2. It's a Joke
3. Walking
4. Weekend Night / History Lesson
5. Soldier Soldier
6. War Aesthetic
7. Screaming
8. New One
9. Process

They also recorded a CIUT ID and an EXD ID.

This session was recorded by Ian Wilkinson and video taped by Aldo Erdic from Punks and Rockers.

We go out with a tribute to Body Heist, who's singer CJ just passed away and the memorial service was today. Download the show here.

BLANK STARES are a new punk band from Toronto that came in and recorded a session on June 13th, which was the singer's (Travis) birthday. Travis was in on the show once to do a tribute to Vassil when he passed away. They played in a band together called TERMINAL LICKS. I also knew Taras from CITY SWEETHEARTS which was a band that Vassil played in, so you can see the world's intersecting here. Mikey has also been in at the station. He dropped by once for fundraising although he doesn't remember it. Mikey plays bass in FIRST BASE and runs a great little label called Hosehead Records. And Andrew, the synth player, plays in CENTURY PALMS who have been played on the show a few times. Lots of six degrees of separation threads going on with this band and the show. I was glad to have them in and be able to celebrate Travis' borthday with a Hamburger Cake that Taras picked up. Anyway it shouldn't be understated how good this band is by their lineage. They share a strong resemblance to the UNDERTONES in terms of vocals and they have a catchy new wave vibe a la TRANZMITORS / FASHIONISM.
