- Action….Downtown Girl…as above. And besides, these are my 2 fave Action songs that have been stuck in my head for 40 years as they appeared on a Montreco compilation way back then.
- DOA….Rip This Joint…from the 1978 release on Sudden Death Records.
- The Sinners….No Brains Required….from their only 7” and from London Ontario. As I’ve said many a time, this should be the theme for this radio show.

- The Milkshakes….I Can Tell… as above.
- The Secrets….All The Words…from the Teenage Rampage release on OPM Records. Toronto combo formed in 1978 as members of The Viletones deserted the singer and formed a brand new combo with the addition of a Diode. Great fratrock combo that should have gone on to big things.
- The Viletones….Sign Of The Times….from the What It Feels Like To Kill release from the mid 80’s.

- Eddie and the Hot Rods….Get Out Of Denver…. As above.
- 999…Homicide….from the High Energy Plan release from 1978. The last 4 tracks went out to Tim, who was supposed to be working and probably ended up bouncing around the office!
- The Dropouts….Suckerpunch….from the After School Specials release and from London Ontario. This release is from 2005 and later they moved to Vancouver before packing it in.
- Flying Squad….Brian Mulroney…..demo and their appreciation for former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, who, like a really bad smell, just won’t go away.
- Fine Print….Tonight…from their self titled release and from London. One of those bands that wasn’t around anywhere near long enough.
Thanx for all the phone calls, emails, messages, Heys and people that share this, and all the other posts plugging this radio show!!!
Back again next week, might even play some tunes by The King as it will be the anniversary of his passing.
