Demo Feature 

Stillborn were a band from Sherbrooke, Quebec. They recorded a cassette called "Faible et Damne” back in 2000. There is a great write up on the Mouth of Madness bandcamp page which describes their early influences as Slayer and Death but that there is no direct influence that can be heard. Just a grinding drums, razor sharp riffs, and dual vocal attack. Some of the members currently play in Disembodiment. We are going to try and play as much of this as possible. 

STILL BORN - Vie Normale (Mouth of Madness)

STILL BORN - Métempsycose (Mouth of Madness)

Demo Feature

REPAIR from Saskatoon. Described in MRR as - Saskatoon’s REPAIR kick out some great The Way It Is-core on this tape, with the vocals reminding me most of that era of Raybeez in particular. The songs are relatively distinguished from each other, and while the songwriting would benefit from a little more nuance, their ability to write big, circle pit-ready riffs more than makes up for it, and there’s exactly the right amount of early youth crew signifiers without devolving into template-filling bullshit. Yes, there’s a song called “Stabbed in the Fucking Back” (which is ironically the least youth crew song on the tape), but it’s good so I’ll let the title slide. There have been way too many MINOR THREAT covers in the world, but their rendition of “Betray” is decent and actually fits here.

REPAIR - We Don't Need You (Attack with Force)

REPAIR - Set You Straight (Attack with Force)

REPAIR - No Excuses (Attack with Force)

REPAIR - Solutions (Attack with Force)

REPAIR - Stabbed in the Fucking Back (Attack with Force)

REPAIR - Betray (Attack with Force)

Interview with Sarde about Death and their film screening at Hot Docs.

DEATH - Rock 'n' Roll Victim 

Discharge feature 

Last week we started off with Discharge. A band from Stoke-on-Trent with a huge impact on the punk scene. And it’s interesting because they wrote lyrics that resembled haikus. Which demonstrates that it is not how much you say, but more how you say it. And they were responsible for an archetypal sound known as D-Beat which would go on to influence sub genres of hardcore like kang in Sweden and Burning Spirits in Japan. I thought we could spend some time appreciating just DISCHARGE.
