Tonight's EXD will feature a set of lesser known anarchist bands from the UK scene, a set on police violence (playing catch up with the George Floyd case), an anti nuke tribute in honour of the 35th anniversary since Chernobyl melted down, and a set of song titles that sound absurd. Pok Gai from Ottawa in our demo feature. And that brief doesn't cover all the directions we get into for tonight's punk extravaganza. Download the show here.

Anarcho punk

I have been reading Ian Glasper's book "The Day the Country Died" which writes about many bands in the anarcho punk scene in the UK and I have been coming across some of these lesser known bands so I thought I would put together some songs from some of these bands.

V/A " It Came from the Pit" LP

Psyche Industries followed up the "Primitive Air Raid" comp with a comp that featured bands from across Canada.  Psyche Industry was done by a guy named Randy Boyd who was a guy from Edmonton that re-located to Montreal to start up this label.  This comp was done in the spirit of the "Something to Believe in" comp. Randy approached SNFU about being on the comp when SNFU played a show in Montreal. The Belke Brothers knew Randy Obsure Alternatives, which was a punk record store that Randy had back in Edmonton. When SNFU got back from their tour in the fall of 1985, Chi's roomate David Mockford had just finished a course in sound engineering. His teachers encouraged him to take on this project as a course project which he did. Rather than use material from the next album SNFU decided to cover Warren Zevon's "Poor Pitiful Me". Chris Walter notes that "this was an unusual choice of covers for a punk compilation." SNFU chose the song because they just wanted to have some fun. The rest of the songs on "It Came from the Pit" are :

1. S.C.U.M. - Exit Death

2. My Dog Popper - Rock Stars are Assholes

3. My Dog Popper - Equal Time

4. Enigmas - Teenage Barnacle

5. Sudden Impact - To Our Glorious Dead

6. Sudden Impact - Drunk Driving

7. Entirely distorted - Abstinence

8. Count Down Zero - Count Down Zero

9. Ruggedy Annes - Casual Design

10. S.N.F.U. - Poor Pitiful Me

11. Problem Children - Thrashing with your Parents

12. League of Dead Politicians - Mr. Profylactic Man

13. Gassenhauer - Local Youths

14. October Crisis - Everyday

15. Stretch Marks - Old Man Understand

16. Nomeansno - No Sex
