Early '00s hardcore with elements of crossover straight off the streets of muthafuckin' Saskatoon. It's crazy how dated this sounds now, but keep in mind this record did come out twenty years ago. Not saying it's a bad thing, you just don't hear anyone play this style anymore. Yet lots of bands nowadays try to sound like they're from 1982 when they were born in 2002, go figure! Hahaha
Here we have a great compilation of early Canadian punk rock put out by the long abandoned Punk History Canada page. This disc is full of mostly obscure bands from Victoria, British Columbia to St John's, Newfoundland and almost everywhere in between. Many of these songs were previously unreleased and/or appearing on CD for the first time. I know there was talk of making a Volume 2, but considering this came out a decade ago and the PHC site hasn't been updated in almost as long, I don't think it's ever happening.
