As mentioned earlier, two-thirds of Thalidomy Kids is also two-thirds of Feral Trash, albeit reconfigured.

I believe The Kidnappers were the first band to cross an ocean to get to the Ottawa Explosion; they came all the way from Hamburg. The DeeCracks from Klagenfurt, Austria might beat them for miles, though.

Things were a bit less wet outside, so it was off to catch The Sonic Avenues; they have a new bassist.

Then it was back inside for The Tough Shits from Philadelphia. They were down a couple of members and sounded pretty wiry.

New York's Vacation played a really tough-sounding set of tensile punk rock.
