On tonight’s show, we have some new material, some old material, and a demo feature for CRISIS PARTY, but up first a tribute to Gord Lewis to mark his passing. All the tributes I have read talk about what a nice and kind person Gord Lewis was. On January 28th, 2007, TEENAGE HEAD played our show and Greg Dick did this in depth interview with them. We are going to play clips from that interview and intersperse it with some Teenage Head classics. We’re going to start out with where the band got started. You can download the show here.

Crisis Party are a three piece band from Ottawa, consisting of Anthony (Precious Failures, The Flying Hellfish) on drums, Ska Jeff (Doxx, Dogma, Zooman) on bass with Matty (Cluttered, Century Egg, Future Girls) fronting the band on guitar and vocals. Their five track demo titled “Welcome to the Party” is Slated to release on Dirt Cult Records, September 2nd. The label lists influences such as Wipers, Wire and The Marked Men. After listening a couple of times, I hear some Lookout! Records influence as well. The songs are mid-fast paced, aggressive, with super catchy guitar hooks and vocals. Punk as fuck.
