A decade ago today I debuted this blog with a 1984 live set by H.O.C., so it only made sense that I'd post the band's sole vinyl release for my 10 year anniversary. Given to me by their guitarist Neil Embo around 20 years ago. Definitely one of the best punk rock releases to come out of B.C. in the 1980's. Here's to ten more years, CHEERS!
HUGE thanks for your 10 years of being one of the best punk blogs to ever be on the webs...
ReplyDeleteSo many rare and obscure 70's and 80's things that you have taken the time to purchase and share with us is amazing. In particular the Euro and South American stuff, but so much more (can't forget the rare hoser stuff you've posted also. Canada always has/had a killer line-up of punk goodness )...
Thanks again Jimmy, nothing but respect, and I'd like to touch base with you about possibly hooking you up with some music that you may not have.
I have a rather large arsenal of lossless and HQ mp3.
Take Care.

I'll drop you a line this weekend. Must get through the 40 hr grind, almost done.
ReplyDeleteSound good, dude. Thanks again.
DeleteJimmy do you happen to have this demo?

I wish! The only song from that 3 song demo that ever saw the light of day is "Fucked Up Baby" on the Last Call comp. It was the also bootlegged on the 'Vancouver Evolution' 7-inch which I posted on here 4 years ago if you haven't got it already. Sorry man! Hopefully Joey Shithead puts it out one day.
DeleteSpeaking of Shithead, I'm seeing DOA in November with Bishops Green for the 40th Anniversary of their Hardcore 81 album.
I just ordered those 40th anniversary vinyl reissues last week. Have fun at the show. I would love to see Bishops Green. I have that Last Call comp and have the demo track.
ReplyDeleteSuper ... a big thanks.
