FLQ Studio 3 session
FLQ recorded a session on Tuesday June 28th. The band features Luke who sang in SCHOOL JERKS and Erik from HASSLER and formerly of the REPROBATES. Jeff plays bass and Brice plays drums. They originally started out as a VILETONES cover band taking the FLQ reference from the song “Rebel”. Eventually as the band evolved they also evolved into writing their own songs. We have bothered them for years about doing a session so to finally see this come together felt awesome. Check out the photo album on our Facebook page. We start out by talking about their song “Perverse”.

Zine - Kill the Poseurs #1

Click for download

This was a zine done by Rob Freeborn, little brother to Tim from Sons of Ishmael. Although the name seems to refer to the Dayglo Abortions there is some really neat coverage inclusing the first interview with Slow Death, who were a hardcore band from PEI, Guilt Parade from Fredericton before they moved to Toronto, and the Crucifucks.

MRR Review - Slow Death cassette

Tim Yohannon wrote this review for MRR of the Slow Death cassette. This appeared in issue #29, which came out in October 1985. Click on image to enlarge it to a readable size.
