Radio - Sunday, July 22nd, 2018



Tonight's show features a mixed bag of punk with some themed sets based around subject matter. There is a set on Sex Ed curriculum featuring local band's on the topic which always surprises me how forward thinking the punk scene is. And there is a set that is pro-immigration punk songs. And a new band from Barrie bis our demo feature which is a band called Heavy Petter. Download the show here.

FLASH HOUSE - No Solution (Self-Released)

A Sex Ed Curriculum was introduced into the Ontario education system with the last government and the new conservative government is scrapping it kicking off a series of protests in various ways. But in looking back at some of the bands that have been on the show they have been writing about how the sex ed curriculum has a little short sighted specifically VCR. So I put together a set of punk from Toronto of bands addressing issues around sex, sexuality and gender issues. Just to add another voice to the debate and protests.

THE YOBS - Auld Land Syne (Captain Oi!)

The Yobs with Auld Land Syne which is the song you may have heard last night signifing the New Year. And as we leave the old year and begin a new I want to say that I have heard enough “Year in Review” shows to slit my throat. So many of them lamenting people who have passed away and tonight's show is not immune from such a list (see Sarde's list of bands that broke up in 2016). 


So Stephe prepared his favourite Canadian punk releases from last year and here is what he liked best starting with Absolute, who were in his top 10 list from last year with “Hell’s Highest Power”. They came out with a split with PARANOID shortly after which is even more devastating and didn't find out about until 2016 even though technically it was released in 2015.

1. ABSOLUT - Mental Problem (D-Takt & Rapunk)
2. CHEAP APPEAL – Sensory Overload (Self-Released)
3. BORN WRONG – Disposable (Schizophrenic / Rebel Time)

7. LAUGHING BOY - Not this Time (Slow Death)
8. ALIENATION - Complacent Fucks (Self-Released)
9. PURA MANIA “Cerebros Punk” - Cerebros Punk (Hysteria)
10. FACADE – Some Screen (Self-Released)

Chloe, from SHEXD, prepared two top lists. This first set is an abbreviated favourite list starting off with Warthog. This list is in no particular order.

WARTHOG - Culture? (Beach Impediment)
IMPALERS - Sucks (CRASS cover) (Self-Released)
TRIAGE - Power Beat (Larry Tony Produzioni)
ARMS RACE - Slander and Abuse (La Vida Es Un Mus)
BLAZING EYE - Ways to Die (Self-Released)


Sarde prepared a list of bands that broke up in 2016. An In Memorium set list, Rest In Power.

CCTV - Big Plan (Cristi California)
FUCK SS - Trend On (World Gone Mad)
DILETTANTES - Late to the Party (Self-Released)
VEXX - You Don’t Got It (M’lady’s / Upset the Rhythm)
JJ DOLL - No One (Katorga Works)
VCR - R.I.P. Sportsboy (Murder City Video / Barfbag)
G.L.O.S.S. - Trans Day of Revenge (Sabotage / Total Negativity / Nervous Nelly)
INACTIVIST - Pessimist / Feminist (Self-Released)
ABSOLUTE - Peace System (Beach Impediment)
GAUCHO - Manos Atadas (Iron Lung)

Chloe’s second list is the best of new bands from 2016.


SIYAHKAL - Beshin Paiasho (Self-Released)
KRIMEWATCH - Machismo (Self-Released)
EXOTICA - Peseguida (Self-Released)
S-21 - Brass Gravel (Self-Released)
ANXIETY - Sewer in the Mind (La Vida Es Un Mus)
URANIUM CLUB - Who Made the Man? (Static Shock)
JANITOR SCUM - Downtown (Lumpy)

Greg Benedetto, of Stuck in the City fame, prepared a top ten list for MRR. This list contains some of those bands that haven’t been caught by other’s lists so far and a few additional extras.

MARBLED EYE - Primerose (Self-Released)
TV CRIME - Hooligans (Static Shock)
BELGRADO - Na Ten Czas (La Vida Es Un Mus)

Radio - Sunday November, 20th, 2016



Tonight is our fundraising show and we always play name that tune with our hosts on the Prophesy. This year James St. Bass (Creative Zero / Sudden Impact fame) was on deck and he guessed that the opening song was an Elvis Costello tune a song about radio.

SMALLTOWN - Radio Radio (Pirates Press)

Interviews and band profiles
Last week we aired an interview with ALIENATION who are a hardcore band from Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. We interviewed them when they were here for Not Dead Yet. Interviews and band profiles are something we do quite often on the show. In the last few months we aired interviews with the legendary Oi Polloi from Scotland, Zoom and the Scenics who are considered by some to be the first punk bands from Toronto, DS-13 from Umea Sweden, Fuck You Pay Me from Cleveland, and Geoff Pevere who wrote Gods of the Hammer. And when INACTIVIST came in Evan talked about doing an interview on Equalizing-X-Distort was like one of these bucket list items. Matt Black from Die Brucke said the same thing. I have heard this a couple of times from bands so we know this is valued by bands. In fact I don’t hear other punk radio shows do this. Band interviews are something unique to EXD abd CIUT and as a result we profile a lot of local and Canadian bands to get their story out.

In these interviews we often get into other things that members of bands are up to. These people are champions of the scene because they put in their time trying to build up the scene in various ways and it is not uncommon. Last week when we were talking to Dave Brown, Alienation’s newest member, he was telling us about Sewercide Records and his latest offshoot label Unknown Coast, which is responsible for the release of the Slow Death demo. Slow Death were a hardcore band from Summerside, PEI – who represented a lot of firsts. Dave used to be a host on the show and he knows how important the drive is to keeping our doors open, so he offered us a Sewercide package which includes a Word on the Street ep, Abject Pax ep, Dyscontrol ep, and the Slow Death ep.

ALIENATION – Dad Body (Self-Released)
GAUCHO – New song about cannibalism (CIUT)

Studio 3 session
GAUCHO and SABOTAGE were both in to record Studio 3 sessions recently. But over the last six months we aired sessions with :

- SAGO on April 24th and then you recommended we do a session with
- KATATONIX which aired on May 29th
- MOTHERFUCKERS from Calgary which we aired on June 26th
- INACTIVIST on July 17th, which was recorded just before the Irish members left the city. Leo what is happening with Inactivist?
- PROM NITE on August 28th
- FLQ on September 4th, and
- GAUCHO on October 16th


We have the members of some of these bands in tonight. So first off I want to re-introduce Leo who was in twice, first with Inactivist and when you were hear I was telling you how much trouble I was having getting Gaucho in and you made that happen because you sing and play bass in that band as well. And Andrew and Alex, who are brothers playing in Sabotage. They talked about their experiences recording at the station and what that means for their bands.

INACTIVIST – YYZ (CIUT)
SABOTAGE - It Doesn't Have to be this Way (CIUT)

Studio 3 sessions continued
Alex from SAGO joins in on the conversation and we talk about the development of those personalized station IDs. We also talk about the band photos. And then we talk about community access to the station using Alex as an example of being someone who has suggested these programming pieces that we acted on which include:

- At the SOFISTIFUCKS session he told us about SAGO so we had you come in.
- He helped set up the UNCLE RAY recording who are a band from Windsor
- At the SAGO session he told us about KATATONIX and we arranged to have them in.
- At the KATATONIX session he told us about DS-13 and even arranged for us to get in so we can get an interview.
- I also want to thank you for turning me onto Democracy Now. You mentioned it on the last drive that you were in and I started listening where I heard about the altercation at Standing Rock

Anyway I wonder how common this is to be able to suggest programming and watch it come together. We talk about CIUT being a community station but all these points above demonstrate to me the two way involvement that the station has with our listeners.

SAGO – Fukk the Cops (CIUT)
KATATONIX - Rip Off (CIUT)

Co-Sponsorships
CIUT has done quite a few co-sponsorships in the last little while. What is a co-sponsorship? It is an event that gets promoted by the station and in return the event promotes the station. It is another expression of community influence and impact. In the last little bit we have helped promote:

The Secrets show
The Son of Dave show
Not Dead Yet fest
The Zoom show
Johnny and the G-Rays show
And the upcoming James Chance show

Here is the title track from the brand new James Chance album titled “The Flesh is Weak”.

JAMES CHANCE - The Flesh is Weak (True Groove)
ZOOM - Porno Town (CIUT)
VCR - How Low Can A Punk Get (Murder City Video / Barfbag)

In appreciation for radio here are some songs about radio.

RAMONES – We Want the Airwaves (Sire)
THE MANTS – 250 Volt (Dead Beat)
THE SPIES – My Radio (Giant Radio)

Special Features
EXD is known for doing Top 10 features at the end of the month.

We do a punk Christmas show with host Dave Stevenson and this year’s show happens on Christmas day.

SHEXD is alive and well and planning their next broadcast on December 4th so tune in for that.

Dini Lazlow was in to do a contemporary look at the Hungarian punk scene.

We feature a demo every week on the show.

We have talked about co-sponsorships that we participate in with local promoters.

We talked about the interviews we do with bands that come through.

We talked about studio 3 sessions we organize with local bands.

All this happens on a voluntary basis but without money to keep the day to day operations going we cannot continue to broadcast.


Craig Wattie, a co-host on Aggressive Rock tells us about CKLN and how that fragile a campus community station is. CHRY also had their station taken from them with outside owners adopting a commercial format for their newly rebranded VIBE. We play some more songs about radio….

GASOLINE - Radio Flic (Egg)
SKULLIANS - Over The Edge (STP)
RAMONES – Do You Remember Rock’nRoll Radio (Sire)

TEENGENERATE – Radio 55 (Crypt)
CUB – Who the Hell do you think you are (BMG)

You can donate to CIUT until December 31st on-line at www.ciut.fm. There is a trip for two to Iceland and the draw will be held on January 15th. Thanks to those who have donated so far.

Inactivist studio 3 session

Inactivist are a new band made up of some local boys and a couple from Galway. The couple from Galway are Anna and Evan who also play in another band called Dot. Inactivist was the hardcore band that both wanted to start. Anna is the singer. Evan is the guitarist. And Evan said that playing a studio 3 session was a dream come true which was very flattering to learn. Glad we could make a dream come true.


This session was the third time we recorded in the hallway and I wanted to try and work on sound isolation for the vocalist so we set Anna up in the interview studio.

The local boys are Leo who also plays bass and sings in Gaucho, and Ryan who drums in so many bands, but we used to play in a band together fifteen years ago called Countdown to Oblivion. It is odd that none of Ryan's bands have ever played at the station before. And I have tried to get Gaucho to come into the studio twice before and am currently trying right now to get them in..... I haven't given up on them. And it was great to have at least one member from Gaucho in the studio.

The song recorded were a mix of songs they have already recorded (which you can find on their Bandcamp page), some new ones and a Circle Jerks cover:




1. Pessimist / Feminist
2. Leave the Next Day
3. Ffffkill
4. Smokestacks
5. YYZ
6. In My Head
7. Operation (Circle Jerks)
8. CIUT ID
9. EXD ID
10. Interview

Ian Wilkinson recorded this session which we aired the best versions of songs on July 17th. You can find other takes of these songs and other crappier photos on the archive.org page. 

Aldo videotaped this session for Punks 'n Rockers.
