Black Iron Prison - Primal Note Studio session 

I saw Black Iron Prison open for Echthros a couple of years ago. Then at the end of March Iron Lung had released an album by them. I knew both Eric and Matthew from their past projects and had thought it was a shame that I hadn’t heard much about this release. I reached out to them about doing a session and they agreed. I didn’t realize that they were going to record some new material. Lucky for us to be the way that you get to hear that. We start off with a track titled “Spatial Awareness’. We recorded this at Primal Note Studios on June 8th.

Ska-outro 

The Aggrolites played last night at Adelaide Hall. I didn't get a chance to go but I did look them up and am sad that I did because I found out how interesting they are. The Aggrolites are an amalgamation of two previous Los Angeles Reggae and Ska bands, the Vessels and the Rhythm Doctors. They formed in 2002 as a live backing band for Reggae icon Derrick Morgan and were asked to record music for a new Morgan album. The project was never released, but the recording sessions inspired The Aggrolites to become a permanent band. They have served as the backing band for Phyllis Dillon, Scotty, Joseph Hill of Culture, Prince Buster and Tim Armstrong. Here is a track named Jack pot from the last album that I can find on them “Reggae Now!”.

Tonight's show is part of a series on the early Toronto hardcore scene named after the book "Tomorrow is Too Late". Tonight we look at one of Toronto's second wave promoters - Don Lebeuf, better known as Reuben Kincaide Productions. 

His primary responsibility was to help HYPE. But soon he took NEGATIVE GAIN under his wing. And then the RHYTHM PIGS adopted him as their tour manager. 

He brought so many great bands to town. And he gave so many local bands a chance to play. 

Unlike other cities where there was a love/hate relationship with promoters, there was only love for Don. So much so that when he took a bath on the Brigade show, bands rallied and put together a fundraiser. Unheard of. 

He became a regular contributor to Pirates of Doom fanzine with a regular column called  Reuben's Ramblings. He also contributed to One Solution and Maximumrocknroll (Berkeley). 

He had a lot of stories about bands, the scene and how things evolved in the scene.

Like our local community garden's Hallowe'en display, the fun of punk is in it's variety. Dave Stevenson, curated, programmed and hosted a Hallowe'en show that features many punk takes on the day. A quick glance below points out the themes, but the devil is in the detail, the stories behind the song selection. We could barely get away without talking about each of these songs for their own unique back stories. And a Misfits tribute was long overdue.
