Huge cover art by the great and subversive artist Tommy Wilson”. This demo was recorded before the flexi and is a little rawer but for power violence fans will be appreciated.

Radio - Sunday, August 20, 2017

In all the coverage of Charlottesville one chant at the protests that I keep hearing is the intro to MDC's "Born to Die" which is the phrase "No War, No KKK, No Fascist USA". It is one of my all time favourite hardcore songs and it makes me proud to hear a song like that being yelled in the streets in opposition to things happening in the States. So we started off the show with MDC and a rant about what has been happening in Charlottesville. Here is an MP3 file of the show.

MDC - Born to Die (R Radical)

So to set the tone for the week it has been here are some songs to reflect things that have happened in Charlottesville starting with a band from Columbia, South Carolina who first wrote about these representations of history in a song called “Southern Swastikas”. In an unrelated coincidence the song came out on an album called “The Nutty Anti-Christ: which featured Jerry Lewis on the cover dressed up as the devil. Jerry Lewis passed away yesterday.

IN/HUMANITY - Southern Swatiskas (Prank)
THE PINKERTON THUGS – Propaganda by the Dead (Insurgence)
DEADSTOOLPIDGEON – Statue (Crucial Response)
MARILYN’S VITAMINS – Ernst Zundel, Voltaire and Me (Raw Energy)
THE OPPRESSED – Antifa Hooligans (Mad Butcher / Redstar '73)

If you have been listening to “Democracy Now” this week you have been hearing interviews with Cornell West who has talked about how the white nationalists locked the group in a church while they carried torches and threaten to burn it down, while the police stood back and let the white nationalists engage in this terrorism Antifa stepped into save the people in the church. they would be dead. Democracy Now interviewed Mark Bray, who wrote a book called "Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook".

In Baltimore two statues were removed. In Memphis crowds linked arms and called for the removal of Jefferson Davis. The movement is growing.

The Strike studio 3 session

The Strike are an oi band, originally from Cannich, which is the Highlands of Scotland some 30 clicks outside of Inverness. Significant to the punk scene they wrote some of the greatest punk anthems which were brought to life on a series of oi compilations. They are particularly known for "Gang Warfare" and "Skinhead" which appeared on the "Strength Through Oi" comp. Garry Bushell first encouraged the band by listing one of their demoes in his top 10 oi list for Sounds Magazine and then by getting the, on this compilation. Fergus Macleod, the lead singer and bass player, goes into this story in the interview. 

Fergus broke the Strike up in 1983 over musical differences. He moved to Toronto and then to Vancouver where he would form Emergency with Nick and Mike from the Subway Thugs. There is a great write up on Emergency found at Ghetto Rock which gives the background on the band and their recording history all while reviewing the full length that was released at the time "1234". Since then Longshot Music released two of the songs from an earlier demo as an ep. The band was able to record one of the Emergency's songs "What You Gonna Do". 

More recently, Fergus re-located to Ontario and lives in Midland. He got in touch with Peter Lambert over some record trading. Peter started out drumming for NFG when they first started out and left around the glam phase of 63 Monroe. Peter moved to London England and played with many bands including the Angelic Upstarts. Peter recorded on their "Reason Why?" LP in 1983 and you can see his credits at this discogs page. Peter asked if Fergus was ever interested in starting up the band again and he was. Peter then sought out Chris Crash. 

Chris Crash has his own interesting stories, but some of his history starts as far back as playing in Slander, which is one of Hamilton's first recorded punk bands. Chris would go on to play in the Hammer Boys, an all skin hardcore band. He runs a punk store called Crash Landing now, but was very familiar with the Strike's material. When Peter approached Chris about playing in the Strike, Chris couldn't believe it and started playing "Skinhead" on guitar to verify that it was the same band they were talking about. Peter knew he had the right guy for guitar. 

Randy from Rebel Time Records put us in touch with this new version of the Strike and after weeks of figuring out scheduling we were able to record this session. The Strike have played a show at This Ain't Hollywood. Tonight they recorded the following songs :

1.  Hungry Man

2. Action Man

3. Agony of the Nation

4. Skinhead

5. When the War is Over

6. Gang Warfare / Anthem of the 80’s

7. What You Gonna Do?

8. Alien

9. Victims

10. Cry of the Youth

11. Mania

12. CIUT ID

13. EXD ID

We did an interview that was recorded in two parts (Part 1) and (Part 2).

Thanks to Ian Wilkinson for recording and mixing everything. Thanks to Aldo and Candy for video taping the session.

Last night we showed up to the station and access to the building was restricted because of the Pan Am games. it made me think of the opening song because you say hi to welcome the international athletes but the joke is on the domestic population because you have to pay for it and put up with the circus of the games.
