On this weeks episode, I play some brand new The Smarthearts, awesome Philly power pop, as well as the debut of Ottawa's Boot. Plus some Alvilda (France), Puffer (MTL), The Retrospects (Ottawa), and Steröid (Australia). I also dig back into the 1980's with some Los Tontos (Uruguay), Girls At Our Best (UK), The Stukas (UK), Modesty (Yugoslavia), Pink Champagne (Sweden), and The Exploited (Scotland).
For those in Ottawa, you can catch Alvilda, Puffer, The Retrospects, and Boot (tape release) at The Dom on Saturday. The Exploited is also playing this Wednesday and Friday both at The Brass Monkey w/ B.A.L.M. Squad, Brutal Play, and more as support!
