Remembering Drew Gates 

The next set is celebrating the life of Drew Gates the singer of local legends Riot 99. Drew was active in the 90s, Sydney street punk and Oi scene with his bands Compound Fracture (or Com Frac) and Stanley Knife, before moving from Australia to Toronto; where he formed Riot 99. I couldn’t tell you the exact show I met Drew at in 1999, but I can tell you that after meeting him, things were never the same for our little group of Scarborough punks or the Toronto scene as a whole. One of the wildest people I’ve ever met. A borne story teller. A writer. An actor. A musician. An, a poet. Drew loved to make ordinary situations extraordinary and spin tales of his life back in Australia, abroad (in Hong Kong and India) and keep you posted on his latest piss takes. We’re going to kick the set off with a song played by Com Frac, Stanley Knife and Riot 99. Perhaps his magnum opus?

Demo Feature - Zero Bars  

Debut release of no-frills punk from this Canadian power-trio. Well, there might be one singular frill. The second song on the four-song demo adds a little post-punky WIRE vibe into their standard faster realm of mid-tempo punk sound, and it is the coolest song on the tape. All the songs are instantly catchy and driving. The demo is short enough that if you’re anything like me, you’ll end up flipping it over and over when the tape clicks just to get your fix. - MRR #486 • NOVEMBER 2023

Demo Feature (Bee) 

This week’s demo feature is from a band called DISCIPLINARY ACTION from my hometown, St. John’s Newfoundland. I stumbled across their band instagram right after I had already prepared my last segment. There have been a ton of new bands popping up in St. John’s, which is very exciting to see. Aside from my regionalism as a Newfie, I really do think that there’s something special about geographically isolated places and the cultural output from them. I spoke a little with Spencer from the band to get some background: They started a little over a year ago and played their first show as a 3 piece before adding another member. They recorded the demo themselves in Spencer’s basement, and released it on Open Veins, a Newfoundland label and zine. The demo features samples including several that are anti-cop; including news reports about former RNC constable Doug Snelgrove convicted in 2021 and sentenced to 4 years in prison for sexual assault while on duty, and the sexual assault cases that came to light after that.

Blank Stares studio 3 sessions

Blank Stares are a new band that features some people who have played in other bands and moonlight in some other bands. Taras was the drummer in Riot99 and City Sweethearts and was the person who set up this session. Tara is originally from Edmonton and played in a well known band called The Glory Stompers before moving to Toronto. Well it turns out that the keyboard player, Andrew, is originally from Edmonton but they only found out in the interview afterwards. Andrew also plays in Century Palms and brings a real new wave element to the sound. The band's ring leader, Travis, played in Terminal Licks and had guest-hosted a tribute show to Vassil who he played in Terminal Licks with. Vassil played in City Sweethearts so Vassil seems to be a common denominator between Taras and Travis. Mikey is the bass player who plays in First Base and runs Hosehead Records. Mikey shares a love for the Undertones with Travis and all these little things are what helps build the chemistry among the players and makes this band work.

It was Travis's birthday so the band held a little surprise celebration.

We recorded the following songs:

1. I've Been Trying
2. Lonesome Nights
3. Summer's Here
4. Sirens
5. Dark Ages
6. Won't Wait
7. Forget About Me
8. Computer Love (Kraftwerk cover)

Blank Stares also did a station ID and a show I. The session was recorded by Ian Wilkinson and videotaped by Aldo Erdic.

This week Canada has declared war on ISIS and will begin air strikes in Syria. Day 6 debated the declaration that this a moral war. The Sunday Edition breaks down the bigger picture of the politics of fear behind the war. These were some os the opinions I was hearing this week that lead me to program a set about war and Harper`s culture of fear.

SOLUNSKI FRONT - Hirosima (No Profit)
WAR EMBLEM - Hard to Swallow (Narshardaa)
GOMS - Mad World (Slow Death)
IDNS - Unconscionable (CIUT)
VIOLENT END - Public Fear (Beach Impediment)
AJAX - Gunman (Katroga Works)

This weekend is one of the holiest on the calendar with passover and easter lining up on the same weekend. Here are some contemporary critiques of religion ending with Cursed's "Guilt Parade" which is an ode to the big Good Friday parade that takes place in Little Italy. 

NOXIOUS - Sunday Fools (Rock Against Records)

This week's demo feature is a new band from, Newfoundland called Animal Crimes. Their recent review in MRR caught my eye enough to have me searching for this recording which has a Vacant State feel in that SSD meets DYS sort of way. We ran out of time so the last song got cut but this should give you an idea of what you are missing. 

ANIMAL CRIMES - Criminal Realm
ANIMAL CRIMES - Dearnged Mental State
ANIMAL CRIMES - Fear
ANIMAL CRIMES - Lords of the Land
