Radio - Sunday, May 17th, 2015



The Victoria Day weekend is all about drinkin', colloquially known as the May 2-4 weekend for the 24 beers in a case. Most Canadians get away and get loaded in the woods. Teenage Head have one of the best drinking songs so we started the show with that. You can download the whole show here.

TEENAGE HEAD - Teenage Beer Drinkin' Party (Attic)

Given that this is the first long weekend where people try and go camping I thought I would play some punk songs with some accoustic guitar tat would be suited for a campfire

CHUMBAWAMBA - Nazi (One Little Indian)
ANGELIC UPSTARTS - England (Anagram)
SNUFF - In the Stocks (Fat)
GRAZHDANSKAYA OBORONA - I Hate The Color Red (XOP)
KNUCKLEHEAD - North of the 45 (Stumble)

Various Artists "All Your Ears Can Hear" Double CD

This is a truly amazing compilation. It is one of those scene documentary pieces but instead of it being a film this is a comp. Jason Flower was the main person behind the project and as a result the comp needed to be on 2 CDs. An amazing book where each band participating gets a page that is used to help find out details on them. And the scene they document is their own which is in Victoria, BC. Vancouver is documented pretty well but the scene that NoMeansNo grew out of isn't. The Neos is probably the only other band really known from here and that is only by hardcore collectors. And being geographically isolated Victoria had a chance to develop on thier own more so than other scenes that were on touring routes. As a result you get a snapshot of just some collected highlights of Victoria. You can inquire at Supreme Echo about the availability of this comp but I doubt there is any left. The songs on here are:
Disc 1:
1. Infamous Bastards - Canada's Pissed
2. Pink Steel - Here We Go Again
3. Clix - Sidewalk Trot

15. Resistance - Amerika
16. Ascensions - She's Weird
17. Easy Money - No Stranger to Danger
18. Dioxyn - Free from Vice

The booklet contains interesting little anecdotes about all the bands found on the comp. The CD contains the follwoing songs:

A.K.O.B. "Another Kind of Blues" ep

A.K.O.B. were a hardcare band from Vancouver. The band was made up of former members of the House of Commons. As might be assumed by the name of the band they were influenced by the UK Subs. This 6 song 12" was released by Undergrowth Records which was responsible for other 12" like Death Sentence, NoMeansNo, Snakefinger and a comp called Undergrowth '85. The label was run by Laurie Mercer who was the manager of NoMeansNo. I found out a bunch of material about the label at a blog called O'Canadarm.

Various Artists "Medium Raw" tape


I get the sense that this was teh first ever comp to document the Victoria scene. This is almost excusively bands from vancouver island with a few exceptions. The comp was put out by BYO and Tim Yohannon had this to say about it "An excellent long-player's worth of British Columbia's current crop of bands. The Neos appear with some previously released material, but the rest (Automatic Shock, Chronic Submission, Jerk Ward, LSD, House of Commons, Red Tide, the Infamous Scientists, SS Top, Da Jeep, and the cool Dayglo Abortions) all chip in with new material, most of which is fine. Very little filler." -(from Maximum Rocknroll #12, March 1984)

1. The Neos - Typical Obligatory Anti-Government Song2. The Neos - Life Sentence
3. The Neos - I Don't Want to Be

4. The Neos - Sexual Revolution
5. Automatic Shock - Mushrooms
6. Automatic Shock - Fuck Off
7. Chronic Submission - Sick of Reality
8. Chronic Submission - Narc
9. LSD - Ursula
10. SS-Top - Swamp Stomp
11. House of Commons - Way Down South
12. House of Commons - Do You Feel Low
13. House of Commons - Feed Us Feed Us

14. House of Commons - American Patriot
15. Jerk Ward - I Love the Girls
16. Jerk Ward - Major Threat
17. Jerk Ward - UFO
18. Infamous Scientists - Noise 'n' Rhythm
