Relatively new hardcore kind of metal crossover, heavy shit dudes.
A lot of occult stuff, Alex Jones.
Not occult stuff.
Sorry.
Illuminati stuff.
The producer who helped me put together all these English Nooks songs introduced me to them.
A little too much for my taste.
I'm getting older.
When you hear music like that at my age, you go, it must be fun to be that good at drums.
You don't really go, you're very clinical about it all.
That's why I lost my voice.
We recorded eight songs, and then we have a live song from 1987.
We used to cover Peebies Players.
So I'll be providing that on the show for free.
I tried to contact the old guys in the band and tell them I was doing this.
By the way, what this is, is we took a bunch of live cassettes, learned the songs, and then re-recorded them nice.
Ryan's on it.
I am.
The late 80s were a weird time for hardcore because there was DRI and anthrax and there's a lot of thrash.
So I was heavily influenced by crass, but the band was heavily influenced by this crossover stuff.
So there's solos in every song.
And it was sort of skate rock.
If you look up, I've talked about them a lot, but they were sort of the kings of our scene.
Grave Concern.
And the album is Approach with Caution.
It's on YouTube.
I don't know.
When I hear it, it sounds like I'm listening to Mozart.
Like, it's the greatest band of all time.
But that's obviously tightly wrapped up in my teenage experience.
It might sound like shit to you.
So all our songs have these kind of guitar solos in them, which sounds weird to most people, hardcore fans.
This was the norm.
Every song had at least two solos.
You're a jumpin'to the TV screen.
It's the first one, that's the way it's always.
That's the way it's always.
I don't think they had an album.
think they only had a cassette.
That's Giannis in the middle there.
He's very tall and from Poland.
I mean, I always used to say to him, I wouldn't touch you with a 10-foot pole.
Oh, you are a 10-foot pole.
You know what's funny about him, Giannis or whatever his name was?
Yona?
I forget his name.
Some weird Polac name.
Part of his assimilation into Canada to get his citizenship, he had to learn, might have been the whiskey, might have been the gin, could have been a 2-4-6 pack.
I don't know, but look at the state I'm in.
My head is like a football.
Well, I think I'm going to die.
And that's me, oh, me, oh, my, wasn't that a party?
I'm singing it with a slightly southern accent, but it's a Canadian song.
And I thought, that's fucking, first we thought it was retarded when we were 18 and we heard that.
But now that I'm 53, I'm like, yeah.
You should learn, wasn't that a party?
Imagine some packy derms like, wasn't that the party?
Oh, could have been the gin.
Could have been the six-far or two-far.
You don't even know, man.
Could have been all kinds of shit.
I assume you're looking up this song.
Could have been.
It's like, what?
Do you need help?
It's on that same.
What?
Help.
No, it's like a.
I just sang it.
It's a folk song.
They're like a hardcore skate rock band.
It's like the Dubliners of Canada.
Wasn't that a party, I believe, is the name of the song.
