The Neos were a hardcore band from Victoria and released two ground breaking singles although they didn’t know it at the time. These singles along with a lots of other collected materials by the band have been compiled for a new release titled “Three Teens Hellbent on Speed”. It’s an album that has just come out on Supreme Echo Records. I had a chance to speak to Steve Bailey, the singer and founding band member this past weekend. Tonight’s show is a feature piece on the Neos. Download the show here.

Radio - Sunday, January 31st, 2021

Tonight we are celebrating 50 Years of CanCon and it’s influence on punk. On January 18th, 1971, Canadian Content became a part of the Broadcast Act and was implemented through minimum percentages of hourly Canadian airplay. You might have heard us use the term Can Con. It is a short form for Canadian Content. Like other countries in the world Canada became concerned about championing our own culture. In the 60s radio airplay was dominated by British and American acts. So on January 18th, 1971, Canadian Content requirements were added to the Broadcast Act. Radio stations were required to program somewhere between 25% which has now been increased to 40% of programming by Canadian artists. In Scandinavian countries their content requirements are higher to help preserve their culture with good success. And the same is true here. You can download this show here.

Two months back we interviewed Mark Black about his bibliophonic "No Means No: Going Nowhere". The book came out last year and is difficult to get, but Mark recommends you check your local library. Above is a player for the show that was mixed with material. there was a computer malfunction during the show and so the interview goes off the air but we did play the Hanson Brothers while we recovered the computer. You can hear the interview on it's own.

I noticed that the player is a bit glitchy so if you wanted to download an MP3 of the show click on the word MP3 above.

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.

MRR Review - Various Artists "Medium Raw" cassette

Tim Yohannon write this review for MRR of the "Medium Raw" comp. This appeared in issue #12, which came out in March 1984. Click on image to enlarge it to a readable size.

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
