D.R.I. - Rock Against Reagan Live 1983 / 1984 LP (2004)

Unofficial D.R.I. live LP featuring two sets. Side A is definitely an audience recording while the flipside is off the soundboard. The track listing on the back cover isn't 100% correct but what do you expect from a bootleg?

SHUTDOWN - S/T EP (1990)

 

Happy Canaduh day. I posted these guys' debut tape almost five years ago so here's their only other release. "The Mechanic" also appeared on the 2021 compilation, "Diggin' Up The 90's".

THE MAINLINERS - Heavenly Dose Demos tape (2022)

 

Hearing this tape for the first time you might think it was a lost demo recorded sometime between the late 80's and early 90's. A lot of new bands try to sound "retro" and "old school", but these dudes actually nailed it. They've since put out a few digital-only releases with better production.

SKÖL - Čista Perverzija LP (1990)

 

Debut album by this Zagreb band who originally formed some time in the early 80's with a female singer. I recently discovered them through the new archival Yugo comp 'Inkvizicija'.

BUNCHOFUCKINGOOFS - Theres No Solution So Theres No Problem EP (1986)

 

Debut double 7" by Toronto's most notorious. I think they might've been the first punk band I ever heard of. I remember seeing them on a news report or short documentary when I was like 11 or 12. The narrator was talking about this group who's name they couldn't say out loud so they just quickly flashed their name on the screen. Suffice to say, a rock group having a swear word in their name blew my 6th grade mind! HAHAHA

VA - No Pedestrians LP (1980)

 


Power-pop, new wave, punk, rock & roll comp outta Toronto. TYRANNA and ZRO4 are definitely the standouts for me.
