Demo Feature

REPAIR from Saskatoon. Described in MRR as - Saskatoon’s REPAIR kick out some great The Way It Is-core on this tape, with the vocals reminding me most of that era of Raybeez in particular. The songs are relatively distinguished from each other, and while the songwriting would benefit from a little more nuance, their ability to write big, circle pit-ready riffs more than makes up for it, and there’s exactly the right amount of early youth crew signifiers without devolving into template-filling bullshit. Yes, there’s a song called “Stabbed in the Fucking Back” (which is ironically the least youth crew song on the tape), but it’s good so I’ll let the title slide. There have been way too many MINOR THREAT covers in the world, but their rendition of “Betray” is decent and actually fits here.

REPAIR - We Don't Need You (Attack with Force)

REPAIR - Set You Straight (Attack with Force)

REPAIR - No Excuses (Attack with Force)

REPAIR - Solutions (Attack with Force)

REPAIR - Stabbed in the Fucking Back (Attack with Force)

REPAIR - Betray (Attack with Force)

We are trying to find some bands from the region to celebrate this Caribana's return.

VICIOUS THREAT - Kid’s Health (Burning Anger / Rawmantic Disasters)  

On tonight’s show we started off with a fastcore band from Berlin with members of ECD, MVD and Turtle Rage. We like to keep the intro relevant to current happenings, so with that spirit, we played the song Kids Health. With Kids health in mind, this is a not so subtle nod to the moderna vaccine for Covid-19 being available to kids 5 and under. Later tonight I’ll be doing a set of new international releases and a set of some of my favourite, classic, Finnish hardcore. We’ve also got sets of newbies and oldies, a set up for the Big Laugh show that happened yesterday, a set on Halifax hardcore, and the demo feature by TRENCHRAID from the Sunshine Coast of BC. The band features Coleman the host for a metal show called Powerchord on CITR, who will give Chris an interview about the band.  You can download the show here.

Matias in Studio 3 at CIUT


Click for Download

Equalizing-X-Distort this week featured Matias Palacios-Hardy, who is one of the guitarist for Buried Inside. Buried Inside are from Ottawa and have been around for 13 years which is an eternity in hardcore. They are breaking up next month so we look at the Ottawa scene that inspired them and we do a retrospective look at Buried Inside's body of work. A band that found it's roots in Union of Uranus and One Eyed God Prophecy and morphed it with the Victory and later period metal sound of Converge to create a sound truly unique. Referred to as post-Rorschach avant garde metal with nods to everything from Shotmaker to Mastadon. Here is their story.
