Feature Interview with Moe Berg about the MODERN MINDS 

Last Sunday, I was able to speak with Moe Berg, who is best known for being the lead singer and guitarist for the Pursuit of Happiness. Well it turns out that Moe got his start in a punk band called THE MODERN MINDS. I had first learned about the MODERN MINDS in Sam Sutherland’s book “Perfect Youth” and many people from that scene would have similar stories about how important the Modern Minds were for the Edmonton punk scene. In 2018 a local label named Ugly Pop put out a vinyl release of a collection that had been put together ten years earlier. We are going to start off with a song about their home town called “Bungalow Rock”.

Tonight's show features the first episode of "Speed Kills" which is a feature on power violence inspired by the West Coast Power Violence project. There is also some new releases, some classics and a demo feature by a band out of Quebec named after a mining town. Download the show here.

SPEED KILLS - INFEST

Infest is an American hardcore punk band, formed in Valencia, California in September 1986 by Joe Denunzio, Matt Domino, Dave Ring and Chris Clift. The band's album covers contained imagery of a political nature, depicting the reality of war and poverty. The group unofficially broke up in 1991, having played only a handful of shows outside California. Since 1991 they’ve been active on-and-off with recording and new shows. Scene reports from the time show that locals instantly recognized the brutal power of the band, but demo reviews weren’t as enthusiastic. INFEST - Where’s The Unity (Self-Released) INFEST - Snooze-U-Lose (Self-Released) INFEST - Screwed (Self-Released) INFEST - Dirty Dope Dealer (Self-Released)

Infest predated the term power violence but their sound and members were undoubtedly the pillar that power violence was built upon, with additional foundations coming from their regional bands/friends like Eric Wood and Pissed Happy Children, Pillsbury Hardcore, Cyclops, and Plutocracy. Matt Domino of Infest coined the term “power violence” at a Neanderthal (1990 - 1991) band practice, a band that featured his Infest bandmate Joe Denunzio and Eric Wood from Cyclops and Pissed Happy Children. The Infest / Pissed Happy Children flexi was Slap-A-Ham Records first ever release in 1991. Recorded live at Gilman, Feb 10, 1989.

INFEST - Voice Your Opinion (Slap-a-Ham) INFEST - Sick and Tired (Slap-a-Ham) INFEST - Mankind (Draw Blank / Deep Six)

Infest recorded 18 songs in the spring of 1988. 10 of these songs became the first self-titled and self-released 7”, also referred to as “Machismo”. These songs and the rest of the recording session were released later in 1988 as the Slave LP on Off The Disk. Some Off The Disk records are considered unofficial, including a later repress of Slave. Infest seem to have a bad experience like some of the other bands with records on Off The Disk, so Slave was later later repressed on Draw Blank/Deep Six with a sarcastic runout etching reading “DEDICATED TO THOMAS AND ERICH”, the guys who ran Off The Disk.

INFEST - Sick-O (Deep Six / Draw Blank) INFEST - Life’s Halt (Deep Six / Draw Blank) INFEST - Mindless (Deep Six / Draw Blank) INFEST - Machismo (Deep Six / Draw Blank) Before Infest unofficially broke up in 1991, Matt and Joe did Neanderthal with Eric Wood (MITB). Manpig started around this time with Matt Domino and Infest’s second drummer, RD Davies. Manpig recorded in 1992 but didn’t complete recording and mixing until 2010. Infest were rumoured to have unreleased or incomplete recordings. Some comp songs were released during an inactive period, 1991 - 1999 on Bllleeeeaaauuurrrrgghhh! (Slap-A-Ham), Apocalyptic Convulsions (Ax/tion), Fear of Smell (Vermiform), Dangerously Unstable (with Suburban Voice zine issue 43), Reality Part #2 (Deep Six), and Reality Part #3 (Deep Six). The Infest related band, Low Threat Profile, were debuted on Reality Part #4 with an untitled track. INFEST - Nothing Left Inside (Ax/ction) INFEST - The World Is Dead (Ax/ction) INFEST - Big Mouth (Slap a Ham) INFEST - Three Or Nothing (Vermiform) INFEST - Dead at Birth (Deep Six)

These songs were thought to be some or all of the rumoured unreleased/unfinished recording session. Infest took a similar path as Manpig, recording most of what became No Man’s Slave in 1995, but added vocals in 2000 and finally released in 2002. Some of the comp songs were on No Man’s Slave, and others were rereleased with different names on the 10” repress of Mankind. INFEST - Cold Inside (Deep Six / Draw Blank) INFEST - Upright Mass (Deep Six / Draw Blank) INFEST - My World My Way (Deep Six / Draw Blank)

While Joe Denunzio was imprisoned, the first Low Threat Profile records started coming out with a line-up including Matt Domino, Chris Dodge (Spazz, Slap-A-Ham Records), Bob Kasitz (Lack Of Interest), and on vocals was Andrew Beattie (No Comment). After Joe Denunzio was released from prison, he joined this line-up (replacing Andrew Beattie) as the 2012 line-up of Infest. While this band was playing a series of shows/festivals around the world, a 7” of NMS outtakes was released called Days Turn Black. One of these songs was intended for a compilation tribute to Negative Approach. Infest’s version of Why Be Something You’re Not was recorded many years later. INFEST - Why Be Something That You’re Not (Draw Blank)

The 2012 reunion line-up that evolved from Low Threat Profile, continued to evolve into Exit Unit with Domino recording both the guitar and bass parts. Instruments were recorded in 2011 and Denunzio’s vocals added in 2015, and later quietly released in 2017. The Infest live lineup has evolved more since then, replacing Kasitz and Dodge with members of ACxDC and Trap Them, but Exit Unit remains as the most recent release (and most recent known recordings) of a band that most closely resembles an Infest line-up. Unless there are more unreleased/unfinished recordings, the Exit Unit 7” could be the closest we get to an Infest swan song. Exit Unit - Blue Turns Red (Deep Six / Draw Blank) Exit Unit - As Statues Fall (Deep Six / Draw Blank) BLOCK PARENT - Landry's Video Kingdom (Glue Gun) N.V.S. - She Looks (Self-Released) TEENAGE HEARTS - Certainly Not (Primator Crew / Tough Ain't Enough) JIMMY VAPID - Nine Lives (Self-Released) NEEDLES // PINS - Baleful (Dirt Cult) PHANE - What a Fucking Mess (Phobia) THE AUTHORITIES - Talk To Me (Self-Released) NOFX - Fuck Euphemism (Fat Wreck) THE CHISEL - Criminal Crew (La Vida Es Un Mus) ZERO TOLERANCE - When We Were Young (

Demo Feature Used to be a band called RED SIDE BURNS, UNION THUGS, ACTION SEDITION. The band named themselves after the mining town Asbestos which recently just renamed themselves Val des Sources. There is an interview with them posted up on Rebel Time's site. You can find the Asbestos demo here. ASBESTOS - Mon Heroine (Rebel Time) ASBESTOS - La Ballade Des Vauriens (Rebel Time) ASBESTOS - Esprit D'Bande (Pom Pom Beretta) (Rebel Time) ASBESTOS - Des Royaux (Rebel Time)
