Batcave scene (Rob / Stephe) 
What is Batcave when it comes to goth? Well it was a club night in London that started up in 1982 and is often considered the birthplace of Southern English goth. The name became associated with a goth sound and the term Batcaver was used to describe fans who would adorn themselves in batwing coffin necklaces to distinguish themselves from other punk clubs. And what was the sound exactly? So it wasn’t exactly anything other than goth but there were elements of electronic music, glam rock, gothic rock, dark cabaret, and death rock. Some bands that I think had an early influence include bands like Bauhaus, Siouxsie and the Banshees and Killing Joke
BAUHAUS - Bela Logosis’ Dead (Small Wonder)
KILLING JOKE - Requiem (Malicious Damage) 
SIOUXSIE AND THE BANSHEES - Christine (Polydor)

The Batcave night was run by two members of the Specimen who were considered the house band. Lead singer, Olli Wisdom ran the night and guitarist Jon Klein was the art director. Initially it started out as a new wave and glam rock night, but it grew to focus on the goth scene. So this next set will be bands that were part of that specific scene, starting out with Specimen and what I think is their most popular song.

SPECIMEN - Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (Sire)
ALIEN SEX FIEND - Outta Control (Crypt Music)
SEX GANG CHILDREN - Oh Funny Man (Kamera)
TEST DEPT. - Shockwork (London)

We’re gonna go out with some local expressions of punk in this realm. Nash's first solo performance and live presentation of music to film occurred when he played his soundtrack to Luis Buñuel's silent film Un chien andalou (1929) at The Original 99 Cent Roxy Theatre in Toronto on March 17, 1975. I thought I heard someone talking about Nash performing the soundtrack that he composed to Nosferatu live at the Bloor Cinema. He composed and recorded the soundtrack in 2001 ad Rue Morgue wrote about this release “Nash's soundtrack to the 1922 silent film. Nash shadows Murnau's plot from the sunny opening, through the Borgo Pass to the scuttling darkness of Shreck's vampire. Added to his original score are interpretations of Fauré's Requiem and Saint-Saens's Danse Macabre, a nod to the tradition of scoring Nosferatu with dark classical music. A formidable stage presence, this one-man symphony of terror has brought new light -- and shadows -- to one of the genre's earliest cinematic triumphs.” Rue Morgue But what I want to say is that I feel like Nash the Slash is a proto version of this style of music where mood and feeling played a more dominant role in the sound.

Radio : EXD 1233 - Sunday January 1st, 2023

This week's radio program starts off with a tribute to Terry Hall, lead singer from the Specials. We’ll take a look at some of the bands Terry was in before and after the Specials as well as some rare recordings of the Specials. That will be at the top of the show. The rest of the show will continue with our year in review look at 2022. Stephe reviews cassettes, Chris drills down into Canadian cassettes, Rob and Andre round out their year with their favourite releases. Download the show here.

A message to you .... Terry

The most iconic face for Britain’s ska revival - he had that dour look. Terry Hall was in a punk group called Squad. They formed in 1977 and recorded two singles. This is the A side to that first single “Red Alert”. 

SQUAD - Red Alert (Squad) 

Jerry Dammers talked him into joining the Coventry Automatics. He would replace singer Tim Strickland. The Coventry Automatics would become the Specials. The Coventry Automatics were a little slower and more on the reggae side so although there are a lot of songs on here that would become songs for the Specials, the Coventry Automatics were an early stage of the band's development. Here is an example of a song from the first LP. 

THE COVENTRY AUTOMATICS - Concrete Jungle (Receiver) 

THE SPECIALS - Long Shot Kick The Bucket - Liquidator - Skinhead Moonstomp (The Skinhead Symphony In Three Movements) 

A medley of ska classics recorded at the BBC on October 22nd, 1979 referred to as the skinhead symphony in three movements. THE SPECIALS would go on to release three albums and a ton of top 10 singles. So many hits. And after “Ghost Town” Hall left the Specials with Lynval Golding and Neville Staple to form FUN BOY THREE. FUN BOY THREE were described as a deadpan and oddly experimental new wave group and they worked with an all girl group named Bananarama that would have greater success. With this project the band would hit No. 7 with its cover of “Our Lips Are Sealed,” a 1981 hit for the Go-Go’s that Mr. Hall wrote with that band’s Jane Wiedlin, whom he briefly dated. Here's a track from the first LP that features early Banarama 

FUN BOY THREE - It Ain't What You Do (Chrysalis) 

THE COLOURFIELD - Colourfield (Chrysalis) 

THE COLOURFIELD were formed in 1984 and were based on Manchester. They had that jangly pop 60’s sound that the SMITHS were already popularizing. This is where I lost track of Terry Hall but he would go on to play in many bands and even re-join the Specials in 2008 performing with them right up until 2018. We’re going to go out with a song I got to see performed in a farmer’s field in Oakville thanks to the first Police Picnic and I had no idea what I was watching but I knew I loved it. Here's a clip from Much Music that the folks from UXB press posted.....Scroll through it to see the song "Enjoy Yourself".

GAUZE (R.I.P.) 

Our namesake for the show has just called it a day. Reported in Metal Injection - Gauze, the influential Japanese hardcore punk band, are breaking up after 41 years. They announced the news today (November 26) on the band’s official Twitter. “Report of disbandment of GAUZE,” reads a translated version of their statement. “Ever since I became a current member, I have decided that if even one person leaves the group, it will be disbanded. That statement alludes to one of the rare interviews Gauze did during their career. In 1997, bassist Shin told Maximum Rocknroll, “To be honest, if one of the members quit, it won’t be Gauze anymore. We never change the members. It’s not because how good they play, but how they think or feel about these things.” Gauze formed in 1981 in Tokyo, Japan. Singer Fugu, guitarist Momorin, and Shin remained in the band over its 41-year-long career, with drummer Hiko joining the original members in 1989. They established themselves as a hardcore punk band that played around with D-beat and thrash conventions. Famously, they wanted to capture the feeling of grindcore without maximizing their tempo. “There is a limit to how fast you can play. We wanted to challenge the limit,” Shin told MRR. “To us, the feeling of the speed is the most important part.” Here's a track off of everything Gauze released.

Radio - Sunday May 22, 2022

On tonight’s Equalizing-X-Distort, we feature some punk music from Sweden that you may not have heard. Torbjörn Rolandsson - from Leper, UX Vileheads - does a scene report feature looking at obscure old Swedish punk, Umea hardcore, and reflecting some Montreal punk back to us. That’s in the second hour of the show. The first hour features a ton of new releases that Chris showcases. Andre does a feature on blacked punk. And I pull together some new oi inspired by a comp from BC titled “British Columbia Bovver”.  And Chris has picked a demo by a band called Smuther who are from Chilliwack. Download the show here.

Scene Report - Torbjörn Rolandsson 

Torbjorn contacted me around the time that "The Eye" ep had come out. At the time he told me of his plans to coming to McGill to work at the university for a short period of time. We soon hatched a plan to do a radio feature as our scene report guest. We came up with the idea on a set about Sweden, a more focused set on Umea and then a set on Montreal given it was going to be his adopted home. Here is that report.....

ABKK - Mörker (EFMD)

THE MODERNS - Say Yes (1977 / Hosehead)

ROTTWEILER - I wanna be your friend (Sing Sing)

THE LEATHER NUN - Ensam inatt (Industrial)

SET 2: UÅHC - Bands that has six degrees of separation to our host

EXIL - Mercenary (Adult Crash)

LEPER - Suckling Pigs (Kink)

THE VICIOUS - Sanity (Ny Vag / Cage Match Federation / Feral Ward / Missing Link)

WARCHILD - Battlefield Trauma (Black Water / D-Takt ja Råpunk) 

UX VILEHEADS - Waste of Life (Deranged) 

SET 3: Canada/QC 

PORCELAIN FOREHEAD - Human Torch (Corpus Callosum)

THE SEX - Braindead (Demo Fest)

PUFFER - Puppet (Roachleg)

OMEGAS - Disgusting Fun (Hardware / Parts Unknown)

INEPSY - No speed limit for destruction (Feral Ward / Ineptik / Southamerican Holocaust)

Torbjorn mentioned that he is looking for a copy of the "Right Now! - The World Needs A Clear Head" ep by Porcelain Forehead. If you have a copy that you are willing to part with get in touch with us at the show and we will put you in touch with him. For those living in Montreal, some Leper EP's are available at Disque Sonique and Le Nouveau Soundcentral.
