For the next few shows we will be showcasing Canadian bands, and one show to come we will feature all Ottawa bands and artists - That may take a couple of shows as there is a deep well of great talented musicians here in old Bytown…
On todays show we are featuring punk and alternative/new wave from 1977 to about 1982. With bands such as the Viletones, Youn Canadians, The Bop Cats, Rough Trade, Subhumans….and much more!!
First up was the first Canadian punk band that I was introduced to, through my brothers at the time, Teenage Head….a good place to start…off of Head Disorder this is First Time….
