DeeCRACKS - I Need To Know (Self-Released)

The DEECRACKS are from Austria and will be in town in Mid-May. 

April 5th marked the 25 years since Kurt Cobain took his life. Grunge was already a sub genre of the punk and indie scene at that point and the scene would go on evolving in different ways. Like all anniversaries many radio stations did mini tributes that week to Nirvana, which involved brief editorials and playing "Smells Like Teen Spirit". Rob Ferraz took an in depth look at Seattle and the bands that developed that sound and the scene in tonight's show. Download the show here.

Radio - Sunday July 30th, 2017

Tonight's show features new releases to have come out in July. There is a themed set on landlords given how difficult it is to rent a place in Toronto. There is also a demo feature by a new power violence band from Halifax called Cutie. You can here the show on the player above or download an MP3 file here. Starting out with a skate core band from Calgary that had a song released on a Thrasher comp. Here is a different song.

RIOT .303 – Murder the Prime Minister (Thrasher)
