The Boys interview (Stephen) 

We had a chance to speak with Matt Dangerfield a few weeks back. Matt is the singer from the Boys. The Boys were around in 1977 and were the first punk band with an album deal with a major label. The Boys also did that x-mas band the Yobs which was Boys spelled backwards. We talk to Matt about all these things and their upcoming show at the Horseshoe on the 13th of March. But we start with the band’s first single - I Don’t Care.

I saw Black Iron Prison open for Echthros a couple of years ago. Then at the end of March Iron Lung had released an album by them. I knew both Eric and Matthew from their past projects and had thought it was a shame that I hadn’t heard much about this release. I reached out to them about doing a session and they agreed. I didn’t realize that they were going to record some new material. Lucky for us to be the way that you get to hear that. We start off with a track titled “Spatial Awareness’. We recorded this at Primal Note Studios on June 8th.

Ska-outro 

The Aggrolites played last night at Adelaide Hall. I didn't get a chance to go but I did look them up and am sad that I did because I found out how interesting they are. The Aggrolites are an amalgamation of two previous Los Angeles Reggae and Ska bands, the Vessels and the Rhythm Doctors. They formed in 2002 as a live backing band for Reggae icon Derrick Morgan and were asked to record music for a new Morgan album. The project was never released, but the recording sessions inspired The Aggrolites to become a permanent band. They have served as the backing band for Phyllis Dillon, Scotty, Joseph Hill of Culture, Prince Buster and Tim Armstrong. Here is a track named Jack pot from the last album that I can find on them “Reggae Now!”.

Radio - Sunday, June 7th, 2020

The ripple effect of Mein Trumpf's hockey dad response to the real threats by the boys in blue on People of Colour spread out world wide this weekend. The push back happened and although we are hopeful that something will come of it, the problem is a decades old problem. Looking back over forty years of punk the one theme the comes up generation after generation is how badly the cops suck. Thanks to everyone who contributed on facebook with their suggestions. We weren't able to fit all of them in and it is clear that we could probably do a second show. Sadly we probably will have to because if you are a Person of Colour or a Punk George Floyd's experience is going to happen again. Hope this can become a soundtrack for resistance.

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.

You can download the show here. Download the full interview here. Pick up their LP through Ugly Pop. The playlist looks like this:

This week was our bi-annual fundraising show. Thanks to everyone who pitched in with coming in to the station, answering phone, donating prizes and donating cash to CIUT. You can still donate on-line and thanks to so many who have been doing that after the fact through www.ciut.fm. We start out the last few drives with a game of name that tune of punk bands doing ska-ish covers. James St. Bass knew it and stayed mum, but James Brown got stumped again. Download the show here or listen on the player above.

HUDSON MACK – So Lonely

So the next song is for Steve Kurzell who passed away last week. Steve Milo from Sudden Impact wrote us about Steve's passing and asked for us to play "Guns and Children" because the song sticks in your head and is super relevant with the gun climate in the U.S. Sadly still relevant. 

THE YOUNG LIONS – Guns and Children (Schizophrenic)

URBAN WASTE - Wasted Life 

ADOLESCENTS - Word Attack (Frontier)

Lots of people from the golden generation of hardcore are passing away. And recently a book about our first wave of Toronto hardcore came out called “Tomorrow is Too Late”. Derek Emerson and Fran Grasso came in to talk to us about the book and how it came together? Here is a set of bands that are in the book.
