While I'm glad Countdown have addressed the issue and dissolved, the only thing you should take from this is BELIEVE SURVIVORS.

Hardcore is always better played by an angry fool who could care less about tuning a guitar than some pro music wishin ass. That's always why the best records are the first records. Anger and a statement over professionalism forever.

We’ve learned that we drop a lineup every year that has a lot of people go “who the fuck are these bands?” That’s the point. So, we are gonna start making mixes of who’s on and who’s coming up so you can get as god damned excited as we are. Every single band playing rocks.

Boy, am I getting tired of various orgs lamenting 'the death of the venue' or "how hard it is" in Toronto. It's hard for everyone doing literally everything here - music can happen and is possible with a room and a PA & both are bountiful in this city.

Two cents on abusers in Hardcore. If there's smoke there's fire EVERY SINGLE TIME. I have never been told about a dude in a band being a predator and it not been glaringly true eventually. When we get this info, we stop booking bands. If you have this info, share it with us.

Posting it here: Now is the time to lay the groundwork for a robust & inclusive DIY space and/or new organizations that make this a place we can all thrive. I am generally interested in any and all discussions around how independent music exists in Toronto after this ends.

You know that feeling when you see a hardcore video and think 'damn I wish I was there!'? That was every
@powertriptx
video. And then they'd just come to your town and it would be THAT crazy IRL. One of the only bands of our generation that could make everyone go off everywhere.

Re the DIY discourse… it is most certainly not other punks that owe you a living. And there are loads of people in 2023 masquerading in punk/diy with the expectation they get paid for no reason other than they feel entitled to it.

Actual DIY music is vaporizing from the music conscious in the “mrr is a website” / streaming era. There is a mountain of excellent music that you will miss because the diy network has vaporized.

Amidst this pandemic, nothing feels real. The people music has connected me with most are distant. I was always counting on seeing friends again 'soon' and its what makes Riley's passing feel so unreal.

Maybe weird observation, but where is the support network for punk these days? Most punks I see online are shit talking year end lists, or talking about music as whack. Am I missing something? When compared to literally every other music culture, punk seems to be an afterthought.

It’s hard not to be all consumed by covid hysteria with a second lockdown looming. In it, one thing is certain - those who clamoured to re-open for mental health & economic reasons have saved not one life. Shut the whole thing down, now, demand rent relief and end evictions.

Not Dead Yet lost an old friend this weekend. Rosie played in a number of great bands that we had the pleasure to book, but I’ll never forget hearing that VIXENS LP and it completely changing my perspective on punk from the East Coast of Canada. RIP Rosie. Hope you’re at peace.

Be skeptical of everyone in the "music industry" until they do meaningful work to gain your trust. Otherwise, participating by doing your own thing is the only way to go. Invest yourself in the way you want things done and you will find your people.

Up until now, wearing a mask at a protest was manipulated by the media to be seen as a desire to incite violence. All of a sudden, everyone’s wearing one as a sign that they care about their fellow citizens. These crowds might now be a power that cannot be suppressed.

You don't need to imagine what a venue can be. You literally need to go ask a bar or a hall or a restaurant if they'll let you and your friends hang out there for an evening. Get a $50 PA from Long and McQuade. Boom.

Here’s a hot take - the reason no government wants to save small venues, is because the corporate music lobby no longer see a need for them. They’ve figure out how to take someone right out of SoundCloud and turn them into $. The club system no longer serves their purposes.

Also FUCK all these hardcore bands that are jumping in now, like they weren't just using the community for their own benefit. So many people, I've seen over the years, haven't given a FUCK about a community unless they could exploit it.

If I still like music at the end of this 18-24 months, I'll book a fest again. But if y'all can't figure out Dead Kennedys are a canon band, its just gonna be people yelling at keyboards and other people playing recordings of their faucets.
