Demo Feature
NEVERGREEN from Long Sault, Ontario, just outside of Cornwall. This recording was recorded in the basement of the brother’s basement. The brother’s I am speaking of are the Sharron brothers. Jon and Matt. They would go on to start HACKSAW. And then Jon would continue on in a string of bands that included Union of Uranus, Rammer, Brutal Knights, Valley Boys, Hassler, and more recently Plastic Heads. All bands that have gotten a decent amount of airplay on the show. But NEVERGREEN were the beginning of it all.

Radio - Sunday. January 7th, 2013

This show was inspired by a feature in a weekly entertainment magazine known as Now. This past week they did a feature on the Best 50 albums by Torontonians. They had a punk singles list which made very little sense given the enormity of the period and the nubre of bands that have put out great things so we did our own list based on Generations of punk.

Flyer - Thursday April 19, 1990

Mud were a bunch a band made up of a rotating cast of characters. Mike Sted was one of the main guys in the band and he was heavily inspired by Frank Zappa. But there was also a core group of guys who used to be in Terminal Rage, which included Danial Hannah, Ted Robinson, and Mike Brown. the band's songs became rock jam like operas and there was lots of audience participation encouraged. I think this show the band staged a mock New Year's Eve show.
