This is the end of February - a month of sorrow that has been turned into celebration to help us beat the blahs. This is episode 1324 of EXD and we try and challenge the sorrow in a couple of ways. On this edition of EXD,
- We challenge those who claim the scene is dead with new releases in a few sets and a best of set that showcases releases in February with bands like Durex, Golpe, and Condumb
- We celebrate the passing of the drummer from the Jam - Rick Buckler
- We celebrate the return of live sessions to EXD with a recording by A.S.O.P. at Primal Note Studios
- We celebrate cassettes with a demo feature that is previewing Durex’s new cassette titled “Shame” which will be released on Saturday at the Expo Vintage Warehouse
- We celebrate black emancipation with some classic punk bands which include Neon Leon, Bam Bam, and Famous Imposters

The last time we did a live session was with Jock Strap on Tuesday February 6th, 2018. That is 7 years ago. Well live sessions are back. And tonight we bring you a session with A.S.O.P. who were instrumental in making this happen for others. We recorded this session at their jam space which is named Primal Note Studios, which is a new-ish studio out at Dufferin and Eglinton area and this space has a live area where bands can perform. Ben has allowed us to record bands in this space for the foreseeable future and that was because ASOP had suggested this space and introduced us to Ben. In the tradition of naming the sessions after the studio we are calling these the Primal Note studio sessions. Chris from Big Brother and Unknown Records has recorded and mastered the session and Cody from the Filthy Radicals helped with the audio side and has also recorded video companion pieces to the session which we will be sharing on the blog and in social media. This session was recorded on Friday January 17, 2025.
