Radio - Sunday September 16th, 2012

This is a broadcast from Sunday September 16th of Equalizing-X-Distort, CIUT's weekly hardcore punk show. This program featured a live recording by a new band from Hamilton called Pick Your Side. The session was recorded at the station originally on Tuesday September 11th, 2012 and you will hear references made to this throughout the broadcast. But we mostly talk about the meanings behind the songs played and we mix in some other things relevant to the interview.

The show also features some garage punk courtesy of Rob Ferraz.

Tonight's demo feature is a band from Bourdeaux called Shock. the band features members of Warning / Warning and Gasmask Terror. We squeezed in six of the nine songs.

Pick Your Side studio 3 session

September 11th has taken on significant meaning and is one of the reasons for why we were able to record Pick Your Side, becaus eit was just too coincidental for the band to pass up. In some ways tonight's session is a bit of a break for all involved. We all worked magic to make it here tonight. As the Hamilton contingent pulled up I hear familiar voices but no familiar faces. It has been a while. In fact Haymaker, for which Pull Your Side is an extension of, was the first band we ever recorded in these studio 3 sessions. Jeff and Chris are sporting beards and I am reminded of the Chokehold reunion show on New Years Eve when a fellow band mate was chided for sporting such a beard. And although times seemed to have changed, the anger remains the same. Here are the songs recorded by Jonathon Hawkes at CIUT`s Studio 3.

1. Dark future
2. Plug-in generation
3. More cops, More crime
4. Meltdown
5. This is not a test
6. Throne of Priviledge
7. My troubles / 2 Headed snake
8. How to cope
9. Survival prayer
10. Looking back
11. New war
12. This too shall pass
13. Right Turn
14. CIUT ID
15. EXD ID

Aldo Edric of Punks and Rockers videotaped the session. Below is a clip of the night.

Radio - Sunday September 9th, 2012

We started off tonight's show with a tribute to Hits and Misses because they are closing down this week so we started by playing the song that the store was named after.

Then we went into a live interview with Demolition who drove down from Barrie. We got a sense of who they are, where they come from in terms of influences, some insight into their songs, and where they are going in terms of recordings and shows.

We played some new Canadian material such as the New School Jerks LP and the new Wasteoids demo.

And we finished with a demo by a band from Helsinki called Autuus. The name translates to mean Bliss, which could be true if you are a fan of a pan-Scandi sound in hardcore embodied by bands like Āäritila.

Have a listen to the show here.
