On this edition of EXD, we are super excited to bring you the first episode of our Punk in China series done by Nevin Domer.  The episode is titled “The Pre-History of Chinese Punk” where Nevin introudces us to 69, Cu Jian, He Yong, and Dou Wei – the pioneers that laid the foundation for punk to exist in China. Also on tonight’s show we look at the Best of for Asian releases in 2023 (Angel Face, Tamaki, Blow Your Brains Out, No Excuse, Hollow Suns, Rect, Mini Myth, Soul Vice, Stilleto, and Concealers). There are two features segments on new releases (Fleshhorn, O-D-Ex, Tenaz, Dogmen, Skalp, Suspex, Vahakyro Drive By). There is a two power violence tag team to help you study (Bodybag, Mescaline Maniacs, Healer, Behavioural Issues, 25 Dollar Massacre, PS You’re Dead, Snake Charmer, Vile Intent, Recension). There is an oldies set (Steakknife, Moskwa, Scarps, Refuse, Personality Crisis). And our demo feature will be a chain punk band out of Montreal called Glowing Orb. All that and a ska rendition of a Stranglers song.

STREET CODE - Predator (Longshot Music / Try and Stop Me)

Punk in China - Episode 1 - Episode 1 - The Pre-History of Chinese Punk (Nevin Domer)

朋克万岁 (Long Live Punk)” by 69 69 - Pengke Wansui (Tian An Men 89) 

That was 69’s “朋克万岁 (Long Live Punk or alternatively translated 10,000 Years Punk)” off of the 1997 compilation 7” from Tiananmen 89 Records’ “10,000 Years Punk” -  considered first punk release. Transform revolutionary classics into Oi! Inflected punk 

When and where did punk start in China? 

Turbulent Mao years - 1949 to 1978 * ‘78 - western products began entering the country. Canto-pop from Hong Kong and Taiwan * Xibeifeng * Cui Jian - China’s first rock song. 

CU JIAN - Nothing to My Name 

Anthem of pro-Democracy protesters in 1989. Televised music gala in 1986 He Yong * Considered successor to Cui Jian * Father member of the Central Conservatory * Dropped out to play rock, ‘87 joined the band May Day * Starting a show by punching his bass player and then spitting beer all over the audience * ‘89 joined Cui Jian in performing for the protestors * Wrote most famous song “the world we live in, is just like a garbage dump.. we eat our conscience and shit out our ideology.” “Is there hope? / No! / Tear it down!” 

HE YONG - Garbage Dump 

The summer of 1989 was a high point for rock music in China. The government had allowed the young scene to grow, and students all over the country could sing the new rock anthems by heart. Immediately after the protests in Tiananmen, however, the central government suppressed and banned all rock music performances. Beijing security forces were ordered to locate and imprison prominent rock musicians. May Day broke up after the Tiananmen Square crackdown, and Chinese rock musicians laid low for a few months, but the tough stance only lasted a few months, though, and then the government allowed rock to tentatively reemerge, resurrected by small private venues catering to the tourist and foreign student crowd. While tentatively experimenting with pop, state-owned music companies shied away from rock, forcing local musicians to rely on contracts with offshore Hong Kong and Taiwanese record labels. In the early 90s, the Taiwanese label Rock Records set up a sub-label on the mainland called Magic Stone. They signed and promoted the harder-edged acts that had emerged at the end of the 80s, including heavy metal bands such as Zhang Ju’s Tang Dynasty and Dou Wei’s Bon Joviesque Black Panther. By ‘92 (check this), these bands were selling hundreds of thousands of CDs and touring across the country, performing in stadiums. They introduced Chinese audiences to heavy metal, and the sound of rock in China got harder. In 1994, Magic Stone released He Yong’s album together with records by Black Panther’s singer Dou Wei and folk-rocker Zhang Chu. These three artists became known as the Magic Stone Three, and their albums were widely popular across the country. Unfortunately, He Yong disappeared again in 1995 after the death of his best friend, Zhang Ju, bassist for the heavy metal band Tang Dynasty. While Zhang Ju played metal, he lived as a rebel and was revered by many of the early punks as the first among them. His death in a horrific motorcycle accident sent He Yong into a spiral of alcoholism and depression which eventually led him to smash his piano on stage during a live performance. That incident got him kicked off of his record label and banned from public performance for a number of years. This is a recording of Zhang Ju playing with his heavy metal band Tang Dynasty (or Dou Wei’s “Black Dream”).

They were a group of guys from the Southern Ontario hardcore scene with one label released record, their first, called UNTUNE THE SKY, on GOODFELLOW RECORDS. Over time their sound slightly changed but was always heavy. I’ve compiled five songs from three of their records for this set. From UNTUNE THE SKY, BAKER STREET, and OUR OWN. They played my old radio show, HARDCORE STILL LIVES!, on CHRW 94.9 in the late 1990’s.

THE YOBS - Auld Land Syne (Captain Oi!)

The Yobs with Auld Land Syne which is the song you may have heard last night signifing the New Year. And as we leave the old year and begin a new I want to say that I have heard enough “Year in Review” shows to slit my throat. So many of them lamenting people who have passed away and tonight's show is not immune from such a list (see Sarde's list of bands that broke up in 2016). 

So Stephe prepared his favourite Canadian punk releases from last year and here is what he liked best starting with Absolute, who were in his top 10 list from last year with “Hell’s Highest Power”. They came out with a split with PARANOID shortly after which is even more devastating and didn't find out about until 2016 even though technically it was released in 2015.

7. LAUGHING BOY - Not this Time (Slow Death)
8. ALIENATION - Complacent Fucks (Self-Released)
9. PURA MANIA “Cerebros Punk” - Cerebros Punk (Hysteria)
10. FACADE – Some Screen (Self-Released)

Chloe, from SHEXD, prepared two top lists. This first set is an abbreviated favourite list starting off with Warthog. This list is in no particular order.

WARTHOG - Culture? (Beach Impediment)
IMPALERS - Sucks (CRASS cover) (Self-Released)
TRIAGE - Power Beat (Larry Tony Produzioni)
ARMS RACE - Slander and Abuse (La Vida Es Un Mus)

Sarde prepared a list of bands that broke up in 2016. An In Memorium set list, Rest In Power.

We started off with Grand Malota who are from Panama and we heard the song “La Voz de Los Muertos” and we played them because the Panama papers were easily the most newsworthy story of the week with the revelations of all these rich people hiding their money in tax evasion schemes. We have already seen the Prime Minister of Iceland resign and David Cameron is implicated through his father. There are ten other heads of state in trouble so we will see how this story pans out. Listen to the show on the player above or download an MP3 here.

I was reading an interview in the latest issue of MRR with Ricardo Melendez about the Punk scene in Colombia in an article titled “Bogota Punk” It is the first of a three part series. But in the interview Ricardo writes about some of the early bands and about the bands to follow. COMPLOT were the first self-designated punk band to come out and play. They were from Medellin and they covered the BUZZCOCKS’ song “Love Battery”.

COMPLOT - Love Battery (Bootleg)

A compilation came out in 1988 called “El Cartel del Punk Medallo” which features so many great hardcore bands from Medellin at the time

RESISTENCIA - Factor Raza Humana ((Grabaciones con las uñas)
LIBRE - Viviendo en un Mundo Fachista (Grabaciones con las uñas)

When asked about who was the most pioneering bands were Ricardo said Morgue and La Pestlilencia so here are songs by each of those bands

LA PESTILENCIA – Fango (Mort Discos)
MORGUE – Dejenme

Morgue were from Bogota and were the long lasting band surviving as a band for 22 years. Their songs were critical and they sang about life in the city. The family tree image on the side come from a blog called Blog Anti and became a huge resource for researching punk in Colombia.

In the mid-90’s a compilation came out by bands from Bogota called “El Bogotazo” which featured four bands on it.

Tonight's demo feature is a new band featuring members of Vacant State, Big Crux and others. Sorry State described the tape as "a band out of the west coast of Canada who play a kind of rock-inflected hardcore punk. Despite some very gruff vocals that remind me of 86 Mentality or Ebro from Punch in the Face, the music is super catchy to the point where you could almost call it garage-punk... I'm old so I'm apt to compare the music to something like Social Circkle or Regulations, but younger people probably have more recent reference points of bands who play a similar style (maybe even Coneheads or Cal and the Calories?). Regardless, the combination of the gruff, tough-sounding (yet still really catchy) vocals and the more overtly melodic music is a real winner and bound to please anyone into either catchy 80s-sounding hardcore or some of catchier bands in the recent oi!-inflected hardcore style."
