Here's my top 10 Canuck recs/CD's of the past year....feel free to comment, send yer own top 10's or just fugging rag on me fer likin' this stuff...BTW, they aren't in any order, just the order they enter what's lefto my brain...

1. The Statues....New People Make Us Nervous....CD and LP
2. Andy Butler and the 905's....New Test Sounds CD
3. The Stolen Minks....5 song 7" EP ....re-ish of their first CD from a year or 2 ago...
4. The Paperboxes...self titled debut CD
5. The Midways....Manners Manners
6. Jim Ashby....Speed City...re-ish 7" of 1970 novelty record
7. Sonic Avenues....s/t...debut 4 song EP CD
8. The Gruesomes....re-ish of Live in Hell and re-ish of Cave In
9. The Tranzmitors...s/t debut CD...although not as good as the 7" recs they put out last year.
10. You Only Get One Shot At The Bigtime...comp on Wizard In Vinyl that features The Zellots 1980 recordings.....

so there you have it....

yeah they re-issued the 1st one ,st
and the second is still around from in the red.

More great Canadian talent that people should be aware of! Just got both (or is there more than 2?) Demon's Claws CD's recently and was quite impressed.

i picked up the Demon's Claws- Satan little pet pigs and the King Khan & BBQ Show and was suprised that i liked the Demon's Claws much better

Ya, i really dug the Brutal Knights latest as well....only complaint, way too short. ONe of the problem with finding stuff like The Midways and Primordials is, they're Canadian bands, but their records are pressed in Germany and it's a bitch finding them in Canada...maybe that Spin The Bottle label can do something about that...lol....

Can't get anyone at CHRW to play this one cept me......most of these kids (that are DJ's) have no idea who Keith Whittaker was....or for that matter, how important The Demics were/are to London's musical history.....

"Drink To Me" Keith Whittaker Bullseye Records. I like this more and more.

There's a couple of brand new bands on the list, namely Andy Butler and the 905's (Andy's actually here on the garage punk thing, so you can check out his songs), Paperboxes (a duo from Naniamo BC who have a myspace) and Sonic Avenues (from Montreal, just released a CD EP on Ricochet Sound).
There's so many cool bands from Canada out there, it's just difficult to find out about them.
Why don't you add your own fave Canuck releases from 2007? I'm sure there's lots of new stuff that i want to check out.

A few of those bands I've never heard of...I'll have to check them out for sure!
