Zoom were super important for the Toronto punk scene. Self-Releasing one of the first punk singles in Toronto called “Sweet Desperation” and opening the doors for punk bands to play the Colonial Underground which is where the first wave of punk bands cut their teeth, Zoom paved the way. Forty years later an LP of unreleased material has just been released by Ugly Pop and Chris Haight and John Hamilton have reformed the band to play a record release show. They came in yesterday to tell us about Zoom, their gigs, their songs, their recordings and stories from around that time.
