You can hear tonight's show on the player above or download the MP3 file here.

We started off the show with an interview and in studio recording with a new grind band from Toronto called Hangin' Tuff that also loves hockey. Think Yacopsae meets Hanson Brothers. This session was recorded a few weeks ago.

Through the week I heard a number of songs about being banned so I out together a "Banned" set inspired by the Sham song and the Peter and the test Tube anthem. 

SHAM 69 - No Entry (Captin Oi!)
SEX PISTOLS - God Save the Queen (Warner Brothers)

CRASS - Banned from the Roxy (CRASS)

I had heard a lot of stories on the independence vote in Scotland so I thought I would put together material honouring Scottish punk. I played one of the four sets programmed going with bands that we haven't played on the show before. Look for the "Bloodstains Across Scotland" or the "Kilt by Death" comps for some great collections.

ALTERNATIVE -  Who's Sussed (CRASS)
THE EXPLOITED - Anti-UK (Rough Justice)

Hangin' Tuff studio 3 session

It is the hottest day of the summer. That isn't saying much given that there haven't been any hot days this summer, but we finally got some hard to take humidity. It must be a studio 3 session.

I meet Hangin' Tuff for the first time on the steps of Hart House. They are a three piece without a bass player. Daryl (vocals) and Andy (drums) are from East York and have been playing with each other since high school. Lee (guitar) is from Timmins and came down to Toronto to do art school and met up with them two years ago to form a band called Dead Moms. They changed their name to the New kids on the Block reference and play geared up fast hardcore in the grind vein. They have played two shows in Toronto and two shows out of town but relatively they are unknown. They recorded a demo that was recorded at their rehearsal space at the beginning of the year. We got to record those songs again with multiple mics. Here is what we recorded:

1. Crystal Ball 
2. Ogie
3. Rage Cage
4. Club Rat
5. Pony Ride
6. Hit the Ice

We also recorded some IDs found below.

Rage Cage ID
Crystal Ball ID
Heard it First ID

All the audio was recorded by Ian Wilkinson. 

And Aldo from Punks and rockers video taped the session.
