Radio - Sunday, July 31st, 2016





DS 13 were in town in the spring (May 17th) which was very surprising to me because the band broke up in 2001 and had not been heard of since. Having been pen pals with Christoffer, the bass player, I wrote to line up an interview which we did before their show. I got to speak with all four of them (Andre, Jonas, Frederik, and Chris) before the show. You can listen to the show on the player above or download an MP3 file of the show here.

The Scenics are a first wave punk band from Toronto that started in 1976. They appeared at the Last Pogo, they were favorites of many influential people in the scene like Gary Topp and Colin Brunton, they were hated by many others for not fitting into a certain punk sound taking their cues from the Velvet Underground, Pere Ubu, Talking Heads, Television and bands like that. They are playing next Saturday, but we were able to speak with Andy, Ken and Mark this morning about the Scenics, Don Mills, New Wave, the Scenics Cave, Mystery Train, Punk Haiku, and early Toronto punk. They were one of the first punk bands to be labelled as outsider punk and now that is the style of punk that leads today's scene. You can download an MP3 of the show here.
