On tonight’s Equalizing-X-Distort, we have a set enraged by the Roe vs Wade clawback. A set on Queercore inspired by a book on skinheads and a documentary called “She Said Boom”. We have a feature on new releases, Canadian punk, and a demo feature by a band from DC called Demand. Download the show here.
OI POLLOI - The Right to Choose (Skuld / Insane Society)
DEATH KNELL - Iron Reaper (Self-Released)
Washington DC’s DEMAND’s demo from last year delivers some super solid hardcore. Very danceable with some nice hints of melody while still keeping it HC to the very core—the type of hardcore that wouldn’t be out of place on the Triple B roster. This debut release demonstrates some real powerful potential for this band and I’m really stoked to see what’s up next—recommended!
You can download the demo from bandcamp.

Demo Feature
Tonight's demo feature is a band from Meaford called Flecks of Drool. In 1986 they released a demo called "We're not the Meatmen and they suck". They released a split with BSL in which they were described by Walter Glaser in MRR as "suffering from a rather noisy sound quality, but their thrash (with good words) is pretty good. Overall not bad."
