ABSURD SS were next with a brand new release and we heard a song called “Absurd Society System”.

Tribute to Rosie Davis
Rosie Davis passed away earlier this week and it has had a big impact on our community. I knew her as the singer in OUTCRY, an anarchist band from Halifax that played our show, but I was first introduced to Rosie as a host on SHEXD. In an interview with OUTCRY I would come to understand that she played in many bands and different instruments. Guitar in VIXENS, vocals in OUTCRY, bass in ZYGOME. Many punk scenes are reeling this week because she became members of many of these scenes in Halifax, Toronto, and Montreal. Mostly in Halifax where she was from, but in 2014 she went to school in Toronto and was in this all star band called CONUNDRUM. In 2008 Rosie was in a band called RULE OF THUMB that released a CD titled “Infelicitas” on Rot Records. In 2011 she played guitar in VIXENS an all women hardcore band with a tape and a 12” that came out on La Vida Es Un Mus. We are going to start a set of music featuring bands that Rosie Davis was in with VIXENS and a song called “Broken Scenes”.

VIXENS - Broken Scenes (La Vida Es Un Mus)
ABJECT PAX - Ratzinger (Self-Released)
CONUNDRUM - Confined (Self-Released)
OUTCRY interview explaining “Chatter”
OUTCRY - Chatter (CIUT)
IMBOLIX - No Spring (Self-Released)
ZYGOME - Mental Murder (Self-Released)

Rosie played bass and sang in ZYGOME. This came from a demo that came out in 2018. She played guitar in Abject Pax. The band released a demo in 2012 and an ep on Sewercide in 2013. Ratzinger appeared on both. We heard the demo version. Rosie lived in Toronto in 2014 and played in a band called CONUNDRUM that featured members of Weak Link, Mighty Atom, Vixens, New Armour, Abject Pax, Concrete Asylum, and Severe. OUTCRY were an anarcho punk band around between 2016 and 2017. After much follow up we were able to record them in the hallway at the station and here is a song from that. IMBOLIX were an all women punk band from Halifax in 2017. SHEXD will be doing a show in August where they will pay a greater tribute to Rosie by dedicating the show to her. Rosie had an impact on many people and will be missed. If you are able to contribute to a gofundme campaign called Rosie Forever to pay for a memorial tribute for Rosie. 

THE GO-GO’S - The Whole World Lost Its Head (Sire)
NIGHT BIRDS - Roll Credits (Fat Wreck Chords)
AGAINST ME! - Trash Unreal (Sire)

Demo Feature 
Tonight’s demo feature is a local band called SHOPVAC that have a mix of indie rock, MidWest Husker sound and mid tempo punk. This came out in January of this year and since then they have come out with three more releases. You can hear their full demo on bandcamp. 

SHOPVAC - Disappointed Skeptic (Self-Released)
SHOPVAC - Fugue State (Self-Released)
SHOPVAC - Last Trip (Self-Released)

Outcry studio 3 session

I met Rosie a year and a bit ago on SHEXD. She did a set of music on Haligonian punk bands and we spoke about trying to get Outcry to come in and record a session. Well tonight this plan came to being. I almost met Steve, the guitarist, when we did an interview with Alienation, but he was too sick to come in. Steve plays in a lot of bands from Halifax as do Adam (Bass) and Johnny (Drummer). It's rare that we get out of town bands into the studio so in the interview (Part 1 and Part 2) we took every opportunity to ask about the goings on in Halifax. More photos can be found on our facebook page. Look for the Outcry album.

The songs recorded include:

1. Chatter
2. It's a Joke
3. Walking
4. Weekend Night / History Lesson
5. Soldier Soldier
6. War Aesthetic
7. Screaming
8. New One
9. Process

They also recorded a CIUT ID and an EXD ID.

This session was recorded by Ian Wilkinson and video taped by Aldo Erdic from Punks and Rockers.

I was researching old French and German punk this week and came across this song which seemed to be about our night of broadcast. You can download this show here.

Radio - Sunday, April 12th, 2015

Every six months we host an on-air fundraising drive. In our training, the Station Manager thought a pass off between EXD and the Prophesy was impossible so I tried to prove him wrong with out little game of name that tune which gets played every week between us off air. But this week it was my turn because the Prophesy aren't as well versed in the finer areas of punk. So I tried with covers of Kool and the Gang and the Specials at the begining of the show to disasterous effect. Listen on....

BIG BOYS - Hollywood Swingin’ (Touch 'n Go)

SNUFF – Do Nothing (Workers Playtime)
SCREECHING WEASEL – I can see clearly (Lookout)
THE VAPIDS – You’re tearin’ me apart (Double Hell)

Every couple of weeks we record bands in our broadcast studio (known as studio 3). Candy has really been involved in the video side of recording these bands and so much work goes into those that I wanted her to come on air and tell you some of what she gets up to with these sessions. I also had her program some material from these sessions.....

TEENAGE HEAD – Disgusteen (CIUT)
FLESH RAG - Milk Man (CIUT)
VCR - Pizza Party (CIUT)

Sarde is one of the women behind the women takeover of the show and also runs out of time to play material in her sets. She came in to make up for that and tell us about some magic moments of the takeover.

SLURS – Cartoon People (Self-Released)
SOA – I Hate the Kids (Dischord)
THE FREEZE – Idiots at Happy Hour (Modern Method)
COMA – Coda (ADK)

This is the first of Rob's radio appreciation sets.

MISFITS – Static Age (Caroline)
FLESHEATERS – Radio dies screaming (Atavistic)
PROBLEM CHILDREN – On the Air (Problem Children Wreckords)
THE BANANAS – Radio Action (Recess)

Davis Brown was a co-host on the show for a few years, but has since moved back to Truro. He runs a label called Sewercide and offered out his last three releases as a prize package so we played a song from each with exception for the last release which comes from a demo.

DYSCONTROL – Lies (Sewercide)
ABJECT PAX – Abject Pax (Sewercide)
WORD ON THE STREET – H.R.M. Mayhem (Self-Released)

More appreciation for the medium from punk.

WAND – Floating Head (In the Red)
THE WIMPS – Hamburger radio (Sniff)
KILL-A-WATTS – Radio Suicide (Rip Off)
TEENGENERATE – radio 55 (Crypt)

Alex from the Sofistifucks came in to answer phones but I wanted to get his unique perspective of what it was like to have played studio 3.Fathers was supposed to come in and talk about their session but they left us hanging high and dry. I still played a song from their demo and will play their session on Sunday's show.

FATHERS – I Gotta Piss (Self-Released)
MDC – No Place to Piss (R Radical)
SCHOOL JERKS – Slums of the Future (Bad Vibrations)

Tonight's demo feature is from Halifax. I learned about them from Jon Sharron of Hassler. I was speaking with him about the artist who did the artwork for the cover of the "Asphyxiate" ep and he plays in Abject Pax. He also plays in Concrete Asylum. You can find the Abject Pax demo at bandcamp.
