ELECTROCUTIONER - Slipping Into Darkness tape (2017)

Recorded on the same day (in Compton) as their last tape Wretch In Order. This is their best sounding release yet production-wise, perhaps because it's on a pro cassette this time around. Four songs in five minutes, what more do you need?

THE DEVIANTZ - S/T tape (1998)

Snotty punk rock from Surrey, BC. I found this tape last week at the bottom of a box in my storage locker. I haven't seen or heard it since at least the early 00's. I saw them play once at Club Paradise in New Westminster (a place that has changed names dozen times since), perhaps even opening for DOA? Their bass player would later play in another Surrey band, LUPUS.

VA - Fuck The Commonwealth CD (1994)

This Canadian comp opened me up to a lot of bands when I bought it back in the mid 90's. I recently found a cheap copy of the vinyl version that has less songs, but also a few that weren't on the CD.
