Make it fast

As November rolled in it was fundraising time at CKCU, and that means fundraising shows. The one I made it out for was Mercury Lounge (which coincidentally was celebrating a big anniversary the same week), and featured a bunch of loud and fast punk bands, starting with Toronto's School Damage; here's some introduction action, plus guitarist Brad!
