A bunch of punks

The folks from Ab Irato have compiled a 30-track collection of hardcore punk from bands across Canada; Harshey, four-stroke and The Bella Bombs all have a track on the CD, so Ken Vermin organized a CD release show at Mavericks to allow the locals, Ab Irato and Toronto's Bunchofuckingoofs to strut their stuff live. Unfortunately the Goofs misplaced their guitarist and couldn't make it; other than that everything worked swell.

First up, Harshey - who contributed Shag Rug Blues to the comp.









Four-stroke were up next - their tune on CPR is Anti-You. They started off with their four-man lineup ... Ken quickly left guitar duties to Chris.



Ken lets his true feeling show during Fuck Ottawa.





Also on the set list, a cover of the Subhumans' Oh Canaduh.



Jon did double duty - "You may soon capture a heart attack on film."



Singalong action!





Pointing action!



Tomorrow, Bella Bombs and Ab Irato. Four-stroke are playing with DOA and Layiterslayit June13.

• Show reminder: Man Man, Million Dollar Marxists and The Curviture play Cafe DeKcuf (unless a lot of people buy tickets and they move it to Mavericks).
