The Extroverts - Living In Poverty 7"

And if I thought finding P.E.I. bands was tough, finding Saskatchewan H.C. was even more difficult. Not even How Can They Intend To Heal could help me. I was able to find the single from the band The Extroverts. It was released in 1980. Kinda catchy punk but mostly unspectacular. And that's all for now from The Great White North.

Poverty

My Dog Popper - 668: The Neighbor Of The Beast

Here is some crazy hardcore from Quebec.They released two albums. This was their first and, without a doubt, the best album title of all time. It also contains the tune that has unfortunately become a theme son for me" 'We're Old, We're Fat, And We're Slow'. Great stuff.

A Living Abortion Brought To Term

Slow Death - Self-Titled Demo

Recorded evidence of 80's hardcore from Prince Edward Island was difficult to find. Luckily, How Can They Intend To Heal was there to help me out. Follow the (yet another!!) link to an interview with the band. This demo delivers fast and furious straight edge thrash.

Direct Action - Trapped In A World

Here's another band I first heard on a comp and had to find more of. They had one track on the '86 There's A Method To Our Madness comp. Fast and ultra-political. They kinda remind me of B.G.K. (Damn, this site has become a regular Linkstravaganza!) I absolutely love the 'One Tin Soldier' cover.

I Am Like An Unexploded Bomb

System Overload - Rocks Off Demo

System Overload deliver some fast, unpolished hardcore from the Province of Nova Scotia. Got this from the great How Can They Intend To Heal blog. There is a wealth of Canadian hardcore info as well as interviews and more downloads. Check it out.

Tough Justice - 3 Seconds Of Silence Demo

Rounding out the Newfoundland Triple Treat is the hardcore band Tough Justice. Here's their full last.fm bio. And here's their 1986 demo. It reminds me of 7Seconds if they had hired a heavy metal guitarist. P.S. - I was unable to find the actual cover online, so I opted for a picture of their sexy 80's mugs instead!

Da Slyme - Self-Titled Double L.P.

According to their website Da Slyme was Newfoundland's first punk band. And apparently this was the first Canadian Double L.P. Sloppy and obnoxious, this is what your parents thought ALL your music sounded like! It is entertaining but to be honest, a little goes a long way. Here's the L.P. in two files.
