Guest: Brandon Smith of Blamethrower

   

From bands such as Hostage Life, Ill Scarlet, Dead Letter Dept., Summer Hero, Protest the Hero and so many more. We even touch of punk ska, and folk punk, rockabilly punk and even bluegrass punk!

Shaner surfing to Ill Scarlet at the Biltmore in Oshawa. Thanks for holding Shaner’s stuff Johnny!

Next we talk about how punk and ska how we wonder it how it really came to be.  And how Shaner was lucky enough to see the Specials in 2017 at Montebello RockFest in Quebec.  Before the festival eventually went bankrupt after hitting 200,000 thousand fans in a weekend..

And now, we go way back, and way more local.  On to Underground Operations!!!  Shaner was always picking up free stuff from Underground Operations and their distributor, Universal Music because of OntarioPunk.com.  This one is a gem!

I think it had Closet Monster, Dead Letter Dept., Hostage Life and others on it.

Shaner was talking about the 905 Bands Link from Jon Clement.  Well, here’s the link!
