From 1977 punk in Oz to punxploitation projects (Pistols medley) Equalizing-X-Distort has you covered. With the tilt towards warm weather I turn to some punk rock chestnuts about summer. We've got pickle polkas (AD) and "Purple Haze" (NF) covers. Lots of new releases (BOOTLICKER / NEIGHBORHOOD BRATS) mixed with forgotten classics. A demo feature out of Sarnia (WIRED WRONG). And we go out with a tribute to "Top Down" (Teenage Head) - as many covers as we could find. You can download the show here.
