Tonight's show features a tribute to Hammer City / Schizophrenic Records, Mortarhate compilations, sets of old and new punk and guest DJ Cat. Cat used to do a radio show in Rome called Search and Destroy and has translated some books into Italian which include one on the Cramps and one on the early rock scene in NYC. When the city is not in lockdown Cat DJs clubs under Nora Noise. Download the show here.

THE PAGANS OF NORTHUMBERLAND - Awaydays (Self-Released) 

Hammer City Records (R.I.P.)
A few weeks back Hammer City Records was evicted from their space by a landlord looking for excuses to evict tenants. Stuff you normally see in Toronto. As gentrification becomes a thing in the Hammer the same shit is happening there. The record store connected to Schizophrenic Records is looking for a new retail space, but in the meantime I thought we could spin some releases by the label. Starting out with a band they championed early on.

LEGION666 - Abhorrence Contained (Schizophrenic) 

HAZARDOUS WASTE - Skate Block (Schizophrenic) 

HASSLER - Enlightened (Schizophrenic) 

BORN WRONG - Torch the Place (Schizophrenic) 

TV FREAKS - Salutation (Schizophrenic) 

Cat has guest DJed on the show before. Her scene cred extends to Rome where she did a radio show called "Search and Destroy". Cat also translated a book on the Cramps into Italian "Viaggio al centro dei Cramps". Then she translated "New York Rock: From the Rise of the Velvet Underground to the Fall of CBGB's". And when the pandemic isn't locking down the city Cat is DJing under the name "Nora Noise".

Mortarhate compilations
In the mid-80’s after CRASS had broken up and Conflict was just getting going, Conflict started a label in the same vein as CRASS records to release the new wave of anarchist bands coming out. The first one I saw was the “Who?, What?, When?, Where?, Why?” compilation in 1984, which I picked up. It was the fourth release by the label, but the first comp.

Radio - Sunday, November 3rd, 2019

My introduction to the Real Sickies starts with meeting their singer Ben Disaster in his previous band Let's Dance that did a studio 3 session at the old studio. It was a memorable session because they broke out a cover of Sweet's "Fox on the Run" and they did a dual session with Tyranna so it was a busy day. But Let's Dance had opened for Tyranna the night before and Zoe was filling in on vocals and was from Edmonton and Zoe being a champion for bands from Edmonton dragged them along. I didn't know much about Ben's new band or about how Let's Dance broke up.  But they were memorable to me so I was excited to meet up with Ben again and the latest band and the recordings are infectious. So tonight's show features that interview with Ben (singer), Evan (guitarist)  and Alex (guitarist) that we conducted at the end of September right before their show at the Bovine. I was grateful to talk to them. Here is the download and playlist for tonight's show.

These folks are super active in their local scene with radio shows. Alex hosts the long running "Big A, Little A" on CJSR. Alex used to do a radio drama about goths called "Darkness of my Soul". Ben hosts "This is Pop" also on CJSR but this show is also syndicated on a number of other campus community stations across the country. Evan used to do a podcast called "Punk Rock Playground : Locals Only" which focused on the Edmonton scene and had a number of projects related to it.
