Young and old

As we get closer to the headliner, we get closer to the headliner's style. Montreal's Old School Politics pop-punk is in the same vein as Useless Id's. In this case, what you see is what you get: Plenty of speedy popcore with a big debt to acknowledge influences No Use For A Name and Blink-182.


Marc-Antoine "Torsh" Turgeon prepares to whistle up some licks.

And on the left, guitarist Jean-François "Jeff Monster" Girard.

They've got a bit of touring coming up in May, but no Ottawa dates that I can see ...

• Show reminder:You may want to go too Mavericks to see Through The Eyes Of The Dead, Impending Doom, Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza, Arsonists Get All The Girls and Chelsea Grin just because of the names;  it's not music, but there's a battle to the gastronomical death at Babylon. Pat Robitaille, May-Jun and We Are The Take are at Zaphod's.
