This is episode 1371 of EXD and was put together by Andre Zadorozny, Bee Traverse, Christian Overall, Rob Ferraz, and Stephen Perry. On this edition :

• a feature interview with first wave band Suburban Slag. Suburban Slag were from Calgary and featured Jon Card and Doug Boland. 
• a top 10 for mosh bands this year 
• a top 10 for eps 
• new releases by Stand Against Fear, TimeXHeist, and Dambe 
• but up first a feature on a show happening Tuesday 

SUDDEN IMPACT - Cat’s Life (Supreme Echo) 

Played in honour of the singer Mitch Garvin who just passed away. Born in Kampala, Uganda, while his parents served in the Peace Corps, Mitchell was given a Swahili nickname meaning “little boy who loved the outdoors.” In the 1980s, his family settled in Toronto where he got into skateboarding, bicycling and became lead singer of Sudden Impact. Mitchell’s scream in their signature song, Sudden Impact, was legendary. 

FAN CLUB show at No No Room (Bee) 

FAN CLUB - Stimulation 

SLACKER - Choked and Gagged

KLEENER - Perfecto Mundo

ZERO BARS - Mountain Song (The Crucifucks) 

FAN CLUB - Only Heroes 

Top 10 EPs for 2025 (Random Order - Christian) 

DESTRUCT - Pariah (Prescription / Children of the Grave) 

Probably the biggest dbeat band in the states right now. This one came off of their split with Svaveldioxid. Destruct playing outta Richmond. American Disclose worship with lots of Swedish influence. Kind of reminds me of Mob 47 at times. 

SVAVELDIOXID - Stillbilder (Prescription / Children of the Grave) 

Svaveldioxid like Destruct playing dbeat with Swedish influence, however Svav are from Sweden. Lots of Anti-Cimex worship. A solid slice of modern kängpunk. Svaveldioxid playing outta Stockholm. 

PORTAL TOMB - Féth Fiada / Imbolc(Archaic / Sore Mind) 

Off of the Portal Tomb split with Extensive Slaughter. A solid slice of modern stenchcore. Outside of the standard Amebix, Axegrinder or Napalm Death backbone that makes the foundation for a lot of current stench, Portal Tomb at times offers riffs that range from old Mortarhate stuff like Exit-Stance to death metal like early Entombed. Portal Tomb playing outta Montréal.  

EXTENSIVE SLAUGHTER - A Glimpse of the End (Archaic / Sore Mind) - E//N/CC The amount of stenchcore albums coming out over the last few years is refreshing. Extensive Slaughter standing out as a force; channeling 80s and 90s English crust. Their name being an homage to Excrement of War, I also hear influence from Anti Sect, Extinction of Mankind and Deviated Instinct. Extensive Slaughter playing outta Vancouver.  

SKIZOPHRENIA! - Needles (Kick Rock) Another killer offering from Skizophrenia! To me more of a general UK82 worship with a serious nod to Discharge; like first EP Discharge. Skizophrenia! playing outta Tsuyama, Japan. 

DELETÄR - Funambule (Kick Rock) 

As the name suggests, Deletär, offering up some solid Anti-Cimex/Totalitär worship for their two tracks on this split. Maybe a better description would be Totalitär worship with the control of Anti-Cimex. Deletär playing outta Saint Étienne, France. 

KATORGA - Tragedy (Doomed to Extinction) 

From their split with Tokyo’s Asocial Terror Fabrication. Solid stenchcore, playing outta Melbourne. 

BARREN SOIL - Ice Battalions (Self-released) - Vancouver stenchcore. 

There was a lot of really good crust and stenchcore out in 2025. Especially from up this way. I don’t want to beat a dead horse describing the genre over and over again. So, if you’re a fan, this one’s for you. From the EP “All Paths Lead to Darkness”. 

FUCKIN’ LOVERS - Normal Feelings (Discos Enfermos / General Speech) 

From their five song EP “Crucifixion Of The Masses”. This is raw punk at its best. Similar to contemporary stuff like Dust Collector. Fuckin’ Lovers bring the Swankys / Confuse worship. A nice dirty little bit of punk outta Philly. 

LUMPEN - Anti-Poder (Discos Enfermos) 

That’s the opening track off of their 5 song EP “Exterminación”. Drawing heavily from the darker more aggressive side of UK82, maybe even a little bit of Mortarhate Records influence in there too, Lumpen make it their own. Lumpen playing outta Barcelona. 

CONDUMB - Disassociation (Stupid Bag)

That’s (once again) the opening track to their self-titled 7” EP. Very noisy hardcore. All the noise of early Japanese noise punk, but with American hardcore delivery and sensibility. Absolutely ear smashing master done at the Noise Room Tokyo. I’m a big fan of Shige’s work, so that probably affects my appreciation. Condumb playing outta Philly. 

FARCE - No God To Save Us (Sistema Mortal) 

Excellently executed dbeat. Short songs. Chainsaw guitar. That’s off their eight song EP “Sights of War”. Farce playing outta Oulu, Finland. 

Top 10 “Mosh” Hardcore of 2025 (Andre) 

CRUSH YOUR SOUL - Wish Death (Streets of Hate) 

COMBUST - Truth Hurts (Triple B) 

AGE OF APOCOLYPSE - Impulse (Fuzz Recs/Closed Casket)

BIG BOY - Now? (DAZE)  

FOR ONE HATE - Frozen Solid (Self-Released) 

FATAL REALM - Of No Consequence (DAZE)  

SCALP - Shacklerot (Closed Casket)

RUST - Last Laugh (New Age)

BOLTCUTTER - Twenty One Cars (Barbaric Brutality)

Suburban Slag interview 

Up next is an interview with Doug Boland the bassist from Suburban Slag. You have heard us playing Suburban Slag in the last couple of months and they made Rob’s top 10 for Canadian releases. The band was part of the early Calgary scene and they had this rehearsal tape which has been remastered with originals from the band. The band’s notoriety stems from the fact that this was Jon Card’s first band and this is the band that wrote the classic “Piss on You”. Jon would go on to play in Personality Crisis and “Piss on You” would become a song they are known for. But that work is owed to this little known band from Calgary. Doug Boland would become well know in his own right with a band called the Von Zippers. Here’s a Suburban Slag song off this new self titled release out on Supreme Echo.

Radio - Sunday, September 1st, 2019

Tonight's show is the third band in the Tomorrow is Too Late series, which is the radio interviews from the early Toronto hardcore bands that were conducted for the book by the same name. Tonight's band is Micro Edge, Toronto's first skate-core band. They shredded in a way that those early skate bands did (think JFA). They wrote one of the most memorable songs from the era called "(So You Think You're) Hardcore, eh", which is where we start this interview. The song appeared on the limited edition compilation that came with the first pressing of the book. But all of us wanted to see that song come out on vinyl. 

I had interviewed the band once before back when Sudden Impact did a reunion show at our old studio. The interview was lost and consequently never aired. It was one of my biggest regrets. So when they agreed to take a chance again and do this do over, I was super grateful. 

We get talking about how the band got into punk and skating and how the two things intertwined. Reminiscing about the early days of skateboarding reliving the spirit of skaters and that can do spirit, and developing their own culture with a zine that Dave put out called "Bong Out". "Bong Out" had interviews., show reviews, skate shots, and raditorials. I am going to put some pictures of the issues that Dave shared with us on the Facebook page under a Micro Edge photo album. They play with S.C.U.M. who were skaters. They skate with JFA. Reid's editorial and artwork, Dwayne skating shots, reviews of a lot of early shows in Toronto - it's a fantastic time capsule. 

In the interview we talk about some iconic shows in Toronto's hardcore history. We start out by talking about the Circle Jerks for shows in Toronto which included their gig at the Bev under the Spankin' Monkeys. The Dead Kennedys gigs at the Concert Hall were paradigm shifting in terms of the punk scene at the time. Their first gig at the Wexford Battle of the Bands with Boris sporting a mohawk (see right). They talk about Quarantine's all ages matinees. They opened for the F.U.'s from Boston which gets covered in Bong Out. DRI and JFA slept on Boris' kitchen floor. JFA skated the parking garages in Kensington Market. They got to play Start Dancing and saw some of the shows at the Desh Bhaget which is the hall that Start Dancing broke in.  

Micro Edge spend some talking about the scene back then. Getting to see Teenage Head at the Wexford school dance had an impression on Boris. They shared a practice space with YYY and NJF after losing Dave's dad's basement. Dave meets Brian Taylor by chance at the York Mills subway station and wind up being gifted a "Why Pay More" demo which becomes a fought over prized possession. Chronic Submission's association with the skinhead scene. The importance of the Record Peddler on finding out about music, finding out about shows, and meeting people. And the Young Lions who had the Garage, supported Rock Against Racism, and set the groundwork for this scene.
