Spunkstains (1977-1979) : Volume Seven


One of a fifteen-volume bootleg series from the early aughts full of raw punk noise from the likes of: The Wasps, Puncture, The Sods, Neon Hearts,The Now and the brilliant-but-unfortunately-named, DONKEYS!



Two quick issues: First this rip is missing track 7 but rather than delay or break up the series, I've decided to post it anyway - if anyone can help please do so!
Secondly, and speaking of help, if anyone can identify tracks 20 and 21, please let us know!

The Muffs: Real Time Live


I fell hard for The Muffs back in 1993. It wasn't a band member-specific obsession(though Kim Shattuck, could've been the besotting one). No it was all about the sound, which was was rife with pop-punk melodies, garage-rock riffs, lyrics that wrung genuine emotion from a plain-spoken simplicity and that ever-present Shattuck shriek of "WOHW!"



This live show at Lee's Palace in Toronto (recorded for the CBC show, Real Time) shows the band near the peak of their power circa 1995.
