Matias in Studio 3 at CIUT


Click for Download

Equalizing-X-Distort this week featured Matias Palacios-Hardy, who is one of the guitarist for Buried Inside. Buried Inside are from Ottawa and have been around for 13 years which is an eternity in hardcore. They are breaking up next month so we look at the Ottawa scene that inspired them and we do a retrospective look at Buried Inside's body of work. A band that found it's roots in Union of Uranus and One Eyed God Prophecy and morphed it with the Victory and later period metal sound of Converge to create a sound truly unique. Referred to as post-Rorschach avant garde metal with nods to everything from Shotmaker to Mastadon. Here is their story.

Zine - EXD, VOLUME 3, ISSUE 3

This issue came out in March 2003. The interview features an interview with 17th Class from Rochester. There is also an interview with Dion Conflict about the Wiltshire Drive-in which was a series of outdoor movie screenings out in the Junction. There are also reviews, gossip, and show listings.

This was the first New Years Eve fest in the city. It may have been the first fest pre-dating the Columbus fest and whatnot. The unique thing about this show was that there was a great representation of regional bands, so loads of bands from Canada were on the bill. And folks flew in from California and Philly to see the Chokehold and Union of Uranus reunions.

In the zine "Thousand Year War #7", the organizer of the event, Dave Munro, recounts the following:

"What was conceived in ignorance (?), brought forth an unknown monster. Seven venues and two band cancellations plus an incorrect ad in Heart attaCk. Constant explanations to bands why there was already too many bands. Threats of possible violent confrontations with Northern New York scenesters. Crazy midnight Detroit border crossings the night before the show with a semi-delirious, blood soaked member of Coleman at the wheel. Last minute arrangements for: final venue, advertising, sound and band line ups. Plus, a shit load of stuff that comes crashing back to me in the form of stress induced flashbacks (watch Opera!)

In the end, the work of the few was dispersed to the many on the day of the show. Each person who attended, played a part in making the show actually come together and not fall apart into a blur of repetitive decibel oscillations. Though some peoples efforts did stand apart and were far greater help than expected, For that and any other assistance - I say thanks! The final tally: each band received $150, club $600, myself $55, ONtario Coalition Against Poverty $308.

Maybe we'll do this again? Maybe, we'll hurt ourselves? Who's ta say"

Shotmaker
1. Selector

Shotmaker ep

This is one of Shotmaker's first releases. A close friend of theirs, Daragh Hayes, released this on a label he did that only released this one record. The label was called Kung Fu Enterprises and was named after Daragh's love of the Kung Fu series as a kid. This is my favourite Shotmaker release. The record had the following songs on it:

1. I Say

2. Nick's Question

3. In Betweens
