 X-mas is over, your living on the fumes of your boxing day scores. Tonight we revisit 2021 which may have felt like a dud year on the surface, but actually had a ton of creativity and great releases. We look at some of our favourite releases by formats with EPs, LPs, re-issues, OGs with new releases and top Canadian releases. And we squeeze in a quick tribute for Mensi. Download the show here.

Feature Interview with Moe Berg about the MODERN MINDS 

Last Sunday, I was able to speak with Moe Berg, who is best known for being the lead singer and guitarist for the Pursuit of Happiness. Well it turns out that Moe got his start in a punk band called THE MODERN MINDS. I had first learned about the MODERN MINDS in Sam Sutherland’s book “Perfect Youth” and many people from that scene would have similar stories about how important the Modern Minds were for the Edmonton punk scene. In 2018 a local label named Ugly Pop put out a vinyl release of a collection that had been put together ten years earlier. We are going to start off with a song about their home town called “Bungalow Rock”.
