SEEIN’ RED - last show ever
sorry about lack of posts lately - I wanted to put up that Frank Turner stuff but the files are too large, not sure what to do about that, and I usually know what to do! I know my way around a computer. I tried a few things but nothing worked.
also been working hard setting up two tours this summer and getting our record to happen, its nice to have a band again. we played our second show in st....
Siesta Nouveaux sat at 15 Lower Sherbourne, in Toronto, for a good many years before I ever knew it existed. A very small apartment building that housed some pretty strange folks; with tattooed faces, gaps in their teeth and shady looks in their eyes. That big bright blue building on the corner of Sherbourne & The Esplanade, in an otherwise dead neighborhood, flanked by a gas station, a...

VIRGINITY IS A SOCIAL CONSTRUCT
Virginity:
is sexist
is heteronormative
commodifies sex
commodifies young cis-het white women
contributes to rape culture
contributes to slut-shaming
erases queer folk
erases transfolk
frames a woman’s worth as inversely proportional to the number of dicks that have been inside her
- because talking about stuff like this is actually punk.

SHAVED WOMEN
Shaved Women are a band that you should like and listen to often. They are from St. Louis; which is a city of about 3 million that is found in Missouri, one of the United States.
Self described as ”four dudes”, the group named after a Crass song play some pretty scary sounding hardcore. To me, this is an instant classic, a very memorable listen and a band people will use as a...
THE KIDS ARE GONNA STICK TOGETHER MIXTAPE
28 songs/45 minutes of nothing but hardcore and punk rock from all around the world. This homemade compilation spans generations and sub-genres. There’s Swedish crust, Australian garage and everything in between, dating back to the late 70’s and some releases as recent as last month.

SUBURBANITE
When one of my favorite hardcore bands on the planet VEINS was in town for NOT DEAD YET here in Toronto, I had the pleasure of speaking briefly with Mark McCoy. Mark is better known as the singer for Charles Bronson, Das Oath and Failures…but he shreds a mean guitar too, both in Veins and Suburbanite. He had the Suburbanite 7” with them to sell at the table and having never heard of...

ALTERED BOYS
are a new hardcore punk band from the American New Brunswick, the city in New Jersey. I happen to think their demo is quite good and that their name is amazing.
There was no Mediafire link, so I put their demo up myself.
Five songs: singer sounds pissed, great gang vocal sing-alongs on the first track, instrumentation gives equal balance to mid-paced stompers and fast hardcore attacks. I think,...
TERMINAL STATE
A lot of people have “Sick” from 2007, but YOUR RULES is just a little harder to get your hands on, so I put it up myself. This band is from Toronto, plays TRULY 80’s style old-school hardcore. This record came out in 2004.
[members went on to start School Jerks, Reprobates and Disgusting Body. School Jerks are still very much active and are one of the best hardcore punk...
I’m trying to get this thing going again
