have one in the metal forum, need one in the punk forum as well.

Vancouver, BC punk greats Death Sentence. Love this band.

I see your obscure Vancouver punk rock band and raise you this.

Lovecraftian inspired punk, and one of my absolute favourite live acts.

BastardofYoung · 02-26-2012, 04:30 PM

sounds pretty good. Like the sound actually.... hate the transition effects used on that video though.... jesus, whoever made that needs to just do a still picture or better transitions. But oh well, what do you expect from windows movie maker.

now, I think I will go back to this again.... This EP has been on repeat for days for me. 11 minutes of greatness from Montreal, QB punk legends.

Man, Canada has some great punk rock.

LoathsomePete · 02-26-2012, 04:44 PM

Yeah, between metal and punk I think Canada has one of the better scenes. I also like the interconnected national community that is shared between many of the artists, sharing venues, opening acts, places to stay while touring, etc. A friend of mine lived in Calgary for a few years and introduced me to a couple of great Canadian punk bands.

Sure it's a little poppy, but the lyrics are great. This isn't really indicative of the band's overall style though, some songs feature more of a bluesy vibe, others more of a fast-paced ska vibe, and even some stoner rock elements, I just haven't been bothered to upload any others.

Then of course no Canadian punk list is complete without mentioning The Smalls, who are just one of my absolute favourite bands. I really wish I was a bit older so I could have seen them before they broke up in 2001, but I'm really holding out hope for a reunion in the future if Corb and Caldwell can get over themselves.

Yeah, I wish the smalls would get together. Corb Lund is too busy with his mediocre country career to do it though.

Whatever.

Another classic band from Canada (Winnipeg to be exact)..

such a great album. One of the best bands for sure.

I agree. One of my favorite So Cal punk bands. They are playing the punk rock picnic again this year in Irvine. This is a link for last years party.
