Shitty Tunes For Shitty Times

The title track from the latest single by Ottawa’s ZEX.

Making animal rights a punk issue again!

Extreme Noise Terror annihilates a classic!

A track from the only release (as far as I know) by Martin Crudos’ band Needles. Excellent fast hardcore, as you would expect from Martin.

*I should point out that when I say “punk rock”, I’m referring to bands that fall in the “left of left”/”radical left”/”anarchopunk”/etc circles. There are plenty of right wing/conservative/fascist “punk” bands who Rock Against Communism. However, these ideologies are the furthest thing from PUNK. Punk is liberation, fascism is the polar opposite. Punk is freedom, and right wing ideologies are oppressive as fuck. I hope this goes without saying, but right wing “punk” is “punk” in name only. Fuck them.

Iowaska were a weird psychedelic peace punk band from the UK who existed in the late 90s/early 2000s. One of my favorite weird bands around. Unfortunately they no longer exist due to some horrible circumstances.

Portland’s Harum Scarum performing in Slovenia in 2000 or so. Good audio quality for a squat show

From their best album, as far as I’m concerned.

A little-known lady-fronted Montreal punk band from the late 90s. Fun, simple punk.

1981. Fuck yeah.

Claude bless ‘em

Fucking Bullshit!

From the second LP by Austin’s World Burns To Death

Guest vocals by Adrienne Droogas of Spitboy fame

Mid-00′s melodic anarchopunk from Montreal

We miss them very much.

They fucking rule.
