We started off the show with an interview and in studio recording with a new grind band from Toronto called Hangin' Tuff that also loves hockey. Think Yacopsae meets Hanson Brothers. This session was recorded a few weeks ago.

Through the week I heard a number of songs about being banned so I out together a "Banned" set inspired by the Sham song and the Peter and the test Tube anthem.

I had heard a lot of stories on the independence vote in Scotland so I thought I would put together material honouring Scottish punk. I played one of the four sets programmed going with bands that we haven't played on the show before. Look for the "Bloodstains Across Scotland" or the "Kilt by Death" comps for some great collections.
