DEEP SIX - Complaints Dept. / Rockin' At The Rideau EP (1985)

Lone single by this short lived band from Canada's capital. Their drummer previously played in PORCELAIN FOREHEAD. That's all I got.

TERMINAL STATE - Some Recorded Shit CD (2006)

 

Almost complete discography CD-R which I'm guessing was put together in 2006 since it doesn't include their 2007 "Sick" EP.

THE NEGATIVES - S/T CD (2005)


Previously unreleased power-pop/punk from Thunder Bay, Ontario  recorded between 1979-80. Track 3 also appeared on the "Punk History Canada" comp the same year.

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.

VA - Toronto City Omnibus LP (2003)


A brief snapshot of the scene in T-Dot twenty years ago. Obvious standouts for me are CAREER SUICIDE, HAYMAKER and FUCKED UP.

THE DREAM DATES - Moans On The Phone EP (2005)

 

These hosers hailed from Hamilton Ontario, the same hometown as Teenage Head and Forgotten Rebels. Although these songs were recorded in 1979, tracks 1-2 weren't released until 2000 and 3-4 in '04 as 7" singles. The title track would've been considered a classic and featured on at least a few Killed By Death / Bloodstains type comps had it come out back then.

M.S.I. - 9 Out Of 10 Doctors Recommend More Stupid Initials LP (2018)

Late 80's straight-edge HC from Mississauga Ontario. How terrible is it that my favourite song of theirs is a VILLAGE PEOPLE cover?

FLESH COLUMNS - Schweigew Vor Dem Sturm EP (1984)

 

One of the lesser known bands from Touch And Go record's early catalog. Produced by Corey Rusk of the Necros. Nothing too groundbreaking here, but not bad for some kids from Windsor Ontario either. 'Ban Nestles Products' is more relevant than ever in 2022.

SONS OF ISHMAEL - Pariah Martyr Demands A Sacrifice LP (1987)

Follow-up to 1985's Hayseed Hardcore by Meaford Ontario's favourite sons. Meant to upload this back in 2019 but got sidetracked with other shit and forgot about it. So I guess it's only right I post it on Canaduh Day because they're Canadian or something, eh. I dunno.

DIRECT ACTION - Tomorrow Is Too Late 1984 Tape LP (2019)


Now here's a classic case of a band's demo sounding better than the album. I mean don't get me wrong, Trapped In A World is a great album and all but this session is just way more raw sounding.

VA - Tomorrow Is Too Late EP (2018)

Seven-inch sampler of 80's Toronto hardcore that came with the first pressing of the now sold-out book with the same name. I was going to post this a few years back but my copy has a nick over the Sudden Impact track that was irreparable. Luckily Supreme Echo Records released the full Sudden Impact demo as a 7" in 2020 so I just ripped the song from there.

NOMIND - Tales Of Ordinary Madness LP (1988)

I picked this LP up late last year because I recognized them from the 'CANA-CORE' compilation tape I posted back in 2012. Plus I thought the cover art looked cool. Members also played in SONS OF ISHMAEL and DOUGHBOYS.

BAD SKIN - S/T EP (2013)

Don't really know anything about this band except that they were from Toronto and one of the dudes went on to play in Hassler. You'll like it.

DIRECT ACTION - Trapped In A World LP (1985)

We all know Top Ten lists are lame and meaningless, BUT if you were to make a list of the best Canadian punk/HC records from the 80's this T-dot classic would have to be on there somewhere. With all the reissues coming out in the last few years (especially since the release of the TOHC book 'Tomorrow Is Too Late'), I'm a little surprised no one's re-released it. Unless it's in the works and just hasn't been announced yet. Although Schizophrenic Records did reissue the band's awesome 1984 demo tape onto vinyl a few months back.

REPROBATES - Demo tape (2007)

Raw HC from Toronto featuring future and former members of Sick Charade, Hassler, Unfun, and more I'm sure. Dubbed on an old 13 Engines cassette just to give it that extra shitty demo quality sound. 
1. Abandoned City
2. Brainwashed
3. Falling Apart
4. Self Destruct
5. Rat Maze

NEGATIVE GAIN - Back From The Dead LP (1986)

Raging and relentless TOHC originally released on Pushead's label back in '86. Ripped from the 2017 reissue. All go no slow!

HAYMAKER - Love The Music, Hate The Kids!!! EP (2000)

Angry, angry hardcore from Hamilton, Ontario. Featuring members of Chokehold, Pick Your Side, Left For Dead and more. Split up in the mid '00s only to return a decade later sounding even more pissed-off than ever.
