Where were you in '82?

We bounced forward, now it's time to bounce back, or at least pogo in place to the sounds of Germ Attack, Ottawa's fave - and likely hardest-working - 1980s-style punk rockers. A lot of folks said their set was a highlight, and not just the ones who have The Varukers on heavy rotation at their squat.

Jo sings!



Germ-laden action!


Simex rocks the bass.



Will keeps the beat.



Jo and Simex look back!



Jo bends!



Simex sings!



Shadowy action!



More Will!



Staring action!



They're playing someplace secret in Hull August 7 with Pregnancy Scares and Lets Dance ... ask a punk to find out where, say the posters!

• Show reminder: Bloodshot Bill checks in at the Rat's Nest at 279 Flora Ave. for a very early show ... or not, seems it was cancelled; there's yet more ska, this time at Club SAW with Saucy Jack, Wooka Tribe, Government Livestock and Matt Farrier. The Gallop canter into The Rainbow.
