Classic hardcore punk from Toronto. Another great band i first discovered litening to Pat Duncan's radio show back in '87. The first song i heard was A Man and His Penis Sceptre, and over 20 years later i still think it's a monster of a song. This is a collection pretty much everything they recorded, minus a couple of songs from complilations that i couldn't find. I also included the Angry Thalidomide Babies demo (pre-Sons of Ishmael) from 1984. 60 tracks total. Thanks to Tyler and Robbie Crash for the help with this one. Cheers.

Brother, my name's alan, I can't thank you enough for this. I stumbled into your blog completely unawares and found this. I used to write Tim Freeborm back in 1987, then lost touch when I moved to the USA in 1990. I have the first 2 releases on vinyl but the pre-SOI and the later day stuff is radical. You've made this old man very happy...thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteOh. Fuck. Yes.
ReplyDeleteI had some cassettes Tim sent me way back in the day, but alas those died a long time ago.
Classic unsung hardcore - WELL DONE!
