Demo Feature

Described by MRR as

Washington DC’s DEMAND’s demo from last year delivers some super solid hardcore. Very danceable with some nice hints of melody while still keeping it HC to the very core—the type of hardcore that wouldn’t be out of place on the Triple B roster. This debut release demonstrates some real powerful potential for this band and I’m really stoked to see what’s up next—recommended!

Played that in honour of Pride which is on-line this year and most of the celebrations have been this weekend. The LGBTQ community continues to be the most active against police racism in this city. ABSURD SS were next with a brand new release and we heard a song called “Absurd Society System”. And that was followed up by a tri state oi band called INTIMIDATION and we heard another song about our time called “Isolation” off a brand new demo of theirs. And again we finished up with Bent out of Shape and a song called “Divide and Conquer”.

Tribute to Rosie Davis
Rosie Davis passed away earlier this week and it has had a big impact on our community. I knew her as the singer in OUTCRY, an anarchist band from Halifax that played our show, but I was first introduced to Rosie as a host on SHEXD. In an interview with OUTCRY I would come to understand that she played in many bands and different instruments. Guitar in VIXENS, vocals in OUTCRY, bass in ZYGOME. Many punk scenes are reeling this week because she became members of many of these scenes in Halifax, Toronto, and Montreal. Mostly in Halifax where she was from, but in 2014 she went to school in Toronto and was in this all star band called CONUNDRUM. In 2008 Rosie was in a band called RULE OF THUMB that released a CD titled “Infelicitas” on Rot Records. In 2011 she played guitar in VIXENS an all women hardcore band with a tape and a 12” that came out on La Vida Es Un Mus. We are going to start a set of music featuring bands that Rosie Davis was in with VIXENS and a song called “Broken Scenes”.

VIXENS - Broken Scenes (La Vida Es Un Mus)
ABJECT PAX - Ratzinger (Self-Released)
CONUNDRUM - Confined (Self-Released)
OUTCRY interview explaining “Chatter”
OUTCRY - Chatter (CIUT)
IMBOLIX - No Spring (Self-Released)
ZYGOME - Mental Murder (Self-Released)

Rosie played bass and sang in ZYGOME. This came from a demo that came out in 2018. She played guitar in Abject Pax. The band released a demo in 2012 and an ep on Sewercide in 2013. Ratzinger appeared on both. We heard the demo version. Rosie lived in Toronto in 2014 and played in a band called CONUNDRUM that featured members of Weak Link, Mighty Atom, Vixens, New Armour, Abject Pax, Concrete Asylum, and Severe. OUTCRY were an anarcho punk band around between 2016 and 2017. After much follow up we were able to record them in the hallway at the station and here is a song from that. IMBOLIX were an all women punk band from Halifax in 2017. SHEXD will be doing a show in August where they will pay a greater tribute to Rosie by dedicating the show to her. Rosie had an impact on many people and will be missed. If you are able to contribute to a gofundme campaign called Rosie Forever to pay for a memorial tribute for Rosie.

I learned from a friend at work that Dave Greenfield of the Stranglers had died from COVID-19 on May 3rd. One of the first casualties of COVID-19 in the punk scene. So I thought we could do a bit of a tribute to Dave Greenfield, the keyboard player for the Stranglers. Hugh Cornwell tweeted that “Dave was the difference between the Stranglers and every other punk band.” His Wikipedia bio describes his trademark style of rapid arpeggios. He was often likened to Ray Manzarek of the DOORS. “No More Heroes” was one of the first songs that I had heard and has been my pogoing anthem through life. In tribute to Dave Greenfield’s passing here is a set showcasing Dave Greenfield’s work in the Stranglers.

THE STRANGLERS - No More Heroes (United Artists)
THE STRANGLERS - Dead Ringer (United Artists)
THE STRANGLERS - Hanging Around (United Artists)
THE STRANGLERS – Duchess (United Artists)
THE STRANGLERS – Genetix (United Artists)
THE STRANGLERS - Golden Brown (Liberty)

Dead Ringer is also on “No More Heroes” and is a song that Dave Greenfield sung vocals on.

The live version of Hanging Around was recorded at the Horsehoe Tavern on April 14th, 1978 and is song that demonstrates Dave Greenfield’s versatility as a keyboard player.

“Duchess” was next from “The Raven “ LP.

“Genetix” is also found on “The Raven” and this song was pulled out specifically as an example where Greenfield used a Korg VC-10 vocoder to accompany is own vocal with a unique effect.

“Golden Brown” was a song originally written for “MeninBlack” the band’s first concept album. It was written by Greenfield in a waltz time and eventually appeared on “Le Folie” becoming the band’s biggest hit.

Okay so I know this is a punk show but we are going to get a bit deeper on the electronic edge because another significant passing Florian Schneider, a founding member of KRAFTWERK, passed away from cancer on April 21st, 2020, but his death was just announced on May 6th. The founding members originally met at the Academy of Arts in Remcheid in 1968 forming a couple of improvisational bands ORGANIZATION and then PISSOFF which would evolve into KRAFTWERK, which means “Power Plant” in German. Florian played flute which he would combine with electronics and eventually invented an electronic flute. Schneider was interested in sound design (being referred to as a sound fetishist) and fits in with how the band viewed themselves as sound chemists. Florian also combined vocoding with speech synthesis to patent the implementation of something known as robovox. In 1997 the NY Times referred to KRAFTWERK as the Beatles of electronic music with many accolades coming from so many artists as diverse as David Bowie and Afrika Bambaataa. We’re gonna start out this feature with “Airwaves” from their 1975 release “Radio-Activity”.

KRAFTWERK - Airwaves (Kling Klang / Hor Zu / EMI Electrola)
KRAFTWERK - The Model (Capitol)
KRAFTWERK - Pocket Calculator (EMI)
KRAFTWERK - House Phone (EMI)
KRAFTWERK - Tour de France (EMI)

“Airwaves” was taken from their 1975 release “Radio-Activity” and a lot of this material could form the basis for a sci fi score.

“The Model” came from the 1977 release “The Man Machine”

“Pocket Calculator” was probably the first big hit here in North America as the song would get regular airplay on CFNY and came out on the 1981 release “Computer World”.

“House Phone” came from their 1986 release “Electric Café”.

“Tour de France” was Kraftwerks biggest breakout hit but was actually inspired by the band’s love for cycling. They would do interviews where they would just talk about cycling and this song was written as a soundtrack for their cycling pursuits.
