Since the appearance in 1993 of a discography called Smash The State written by Frank Manley, Canadian punk has become more widely known, harder to find, and generally expensive when you do find it. There are a lot of good Canadian records but in many cases the hype has taken over. Get the 3 Smash The State LPs and you'll have a lot of the more over-rated (and overpriced) Canadian 7"s in their entirety. Killed By Death #26 also focuses solely on Canadian records, some good, some not so good.
Records worth finding that aren't on the Smash The State LPs include The Action, Active Dog, Cardboard Brains 1st EP, Da Slyme (the double LP as well as the CD), Demics 12", the 1st Diodes LP, Discords, Dishrags (particularly their 2nd but just go buy the CD), some early D.O.A., Forgotten Rebels 12" and In Love With The System LP (if you're one of those obnoxious politically correct punks you might want to avoid them however), Genetic Control, K-Tels, No Exit LP, Platinum Blonde (the only release of theirs worth bothering with - after this one they signed to a major label and became more concerned with their hair than their music), Riot 303, Rude Norton, Shriek, 63 Monroe 1st 12", Slander LP (an under-appreciated record), Slow, all Subhumans releases, Swindled (Henry says this one is essential. It is a very good record.), Ugly (the 7" is weak but the CD rocks), Viletones 7"s (though the LP is weak), the 1st 2 Teenage Head LPs (on the first get the original version, the remixed one sucks which unfortunately is what is on the CD), and the Vancouver Complication LP.
For pop-punk fans the Allies, Curtains, Extroverts, Modern Minds (which features Moe Berg before he went on to bigger but not always better things), Pointed Sticks (just get the CD, it has all the 7"s tracks and a few from the LP but the LP is kind of weak anyway), Sinners, 222 and Wayouts are worthwhile. For good spazz art-punk the first Braineaters EP (recently reissued) is a keeper. In the "weird but weird in a good kind of way" category there's Jolly Tambourine Man. There is even a video to one of the songs which appears rarely on the Canadian equivalent of MTV.
One good thing about the popularity of Canadian punk is the number of CD issues with a lot of previously unreleased material from the Pointed Sticks, Young Canadians, Modernettes, Curse, Dishrags, B Girls (not punk but fun 50s - 60s style bubblegum pop), Demics, Forgotten Rebels, Mods, Ugly, Viletones and the Secrets. The Secrets??!! What the hell were they thinking? Even if the band does include members from the Viletones and Diodes, the Secrets fucking suck!
I haven't been particularly impressed by most newer Canadian bands but the Real McKenzies from Vancouver were a fun band, especially live. The best release to get is the cassette, the CDs are good but don't quite have the punch of the cassette. Even that doesn't come close to the energy of their live shows. For the "street punk" crowd the Glory Stompers and Systematics, both from Edmonton, are worth a listen.
There are a number of newer Canadian releases listed here though many of them aren't particularly good. For a while I tended to pick up just about any release that looked punk or seemed interesting (trying to support homegrown talent, I guess). I eventually got tired of accumulating a bunch of mostly crap, so I just taped the best of the lot and got rid of them. If you're interested in more about the current Canadian punk scene then you might want to check this out.
Very good rockin' punk from Ottawa.

OK powerpop. The Last Call track is better than both 7" tracks.
Rating: 6.5
Active Dog
All songs are very good (though over-rated by collectors) punk-pop. Band included future Pointed Sticks and Modernette.
Rating: 8
Active Glands
Very good melodic punk-hardcore. From Vancouver. Surgery is a great song. Too bad this was never released on vinyl.
Rating: 7.5
Aircuts
The A side is cute quirky pop/new wave. The B side is pop and not very interesting. From Vancouver.
Rating: 6
AKA
Somewhat of a spastic jazz-no wave mixture. The International Discography
of the New Wave also lists the 2 tracks on the Who Cares? LP (USA, 1981)
by AKA as being by this band. They're not.
Rating: 6
A.K.O.B.
Fairly mundane medium speed hardcore with some sort of blues twist to it.
Rating: 5
Allies
The A side is a good punk/powerpop mix. The B side is tamer with interesting lyrics. From Toronto.
Rating: 7
Arson
Quite good punk, especially the B side. Both songs along with a bonus
track are available on the Smash The State - Volume 1 LP so no need to pay
$100+ for the 7". The Animals cover on the No Pedestrians compilation LP
is rather mediocre.
Rating: 8
Artificial Life
Average hardcore punk from Winnipeg.
Rating: 6
Asexuals
The 1st EP is basic hardcore except for Wake Up which is more traditional
punk. The 1st LP is a similar hardcore and punk mix while the second LP is
more melodic punk. Their later releases (at least 2 LPs, Dish and Exile From
Floontown) are more pop with some punk and not especially memorable.
Rating: 6.5 [EP and 1st 2 LPs]
Authority Fails
Mediocre hardcore punk. Riot On is a reasonable song, the others are disposable.
Rating: 5
AV
All songs are some mix of artpunk and pop. This is the first release on
the Quintessence (later Zulu) label, one of the big indie labels in the Vancouver
scene. There were various line-ups, two members of the band that recorded
the Vancouver Complication track went on to the Pointed Sticks.
Rating: 6 [7.5 for the compilation track]
B Girls
Recorded between 1977 - 1981. Band formed in a washroom after a Thin Lizzy
concert. Not punk, and I'm not sure they really "rock" but they do some good
50's and 60's style fun pop a la the Shangri-Las. The 7" tracks are included
(in remixed form) on the CD. The rest are previously unreleased (or were
they released on an LP?), some are live. I've seen mention of an LP released
on Bomp - anyone know if this exists?
Rating: 7.5 [if their style is your kind of thing]
B-Sides
Pop-ska. Spy vs. Spy is a good instrumental track, She's A Raver and Underground
Radio Stars are probably their other better tracks. Otherwise nothing to
get too excited about.
Rating: 6
Bad Luck No. 13
One of the few 90's Canadian bands I don't mind. Better than average typical punk rock.
Rating: 7
BAMFF
Experimental artsy fartsy stuff.
Rating: 4
Bangkok
The only thing worth noting about this is that the band included Mickey
Skin of the Curse. The A side is a Barry McGuire cover, which is barely tolerable.
The other song plain stinks.
Rating: 3
(Battered) Wives
Uganda Stomp is a slightly amusing take on the state of affairs in Idi
Amin's Uganda. The B side of the 1st 7" is probably their best punk song.
The second 7" (which came only in copies of the Cigarettes LP (their 2nd,
not listed since I didn't think it was worth keeping)) is pretty good, including
the Ian Dury cover. Most of the s/t LP isn't that good, maybe the 1st side
is good for a listen every 6 months or so. Due to protests from womens' groups
they shortened their name to just The Wives. The 1st LP comes on red (most
common), black and clear vinyl. There's also a live LP (Live On Mother's
Day).
Rating: 6.5
Beach Mutants
Rather mediocre hardcore punk. I Need Dope is acceptable, My Masturbation
is an idiotic take on a Who song, the rest is pretty forgettable.
Rating: 4
Benzene Jag
A side is anthemic, sort of punk rock. Nothing special. The other song is pretty much crap.
Rating: 3
Art Bergmann
These solo records came after stints in a number of Vancouver bands, starting
with the Schmorgs in 1976. Then came the K-Tels (renamed the Young Canadians),
Los Popularos and Poisoned. Both LPs feature some excellent songs (rock,
not punk). There is a s/t 3rd solo LP from 1991 which I heard once and don't
really remember at all. The comeback release in 1995, while not up to the
1st 2 releases, has some OK rockin' tunes. It is truly unfortunate that talent
such as Art's remains in relative obscurity compared to pustules such as
Bryan Adams. In 1991 he made a cameo appearance in the Bruce MacDonald film,
Highway 61.
Rating: 8 (1st 2 LPs), 6 for the CD
Beyond Possession
Slightly above average (though I'm not a fan of the genre) skate-core.
There are 2 versions of the EP, one with 5 songs, one with 6. There is also
an LP from 1986, called Is Beyond Possession, which is considerably more
metal sounding than the EP. There is also a CD that was released about 1996
with (I think) the EP, LP and comp tracks.
Rating: 6.5 [for the EP]
Big Black Puppets
Decent punk. You can find it on the Smash The State - Volume 2 LP. Includes
a to be Modernette and a couple future Pointed Sticks.
Rating: 7
Bill Of Rights
Not too exciting slightly melodic punkcore.
Rating: 5.5
Bitter Reality
Punk name ... Punk sleeve ... Punk music? Not! Quite dull. The demo recordings
are somewhat better, don't know what happened on the 7".
Rating: 3.5, maybe 6 for the demos
Black Boot Trio
Country cow-punk. Sometimes amusing lyrics, not wildly talented, but a
fun band. From Ottawa. Not much else, musically or otherwise, has come from
there recently. They have other cassette and CD releases as well.
Rating: 6.5
Blank Generation
Decent punk, though the keyboards get annoying at times. Their demo recordings
(some are versions of 12" tracks) are generally better than the ones on the
12". For some reason they have more kick and the keyboards are less obnoxious.
Rating: 6, 7.5 for the demos
Blanky
A mix of pop, punk, jazz, noise and probably everything else.
Rating: 5.5
Bliss
Fairly heavy jazzgrungecore (or something). Not great, not awful. From
Montreal. At least one other release as well, and there's at least one other band of the same name.
Rating: 5
Blue Peter
The 12" EP is good punky new wave. Following that they became pretty much just bad pop/new wave.
Rating: 7 [for the 12"]
Bonus Boys
Mundane pop-rock from Vancouver.
Rating: 5
Bop Cats
Rockabilly. 2 tracks are live, John Catto of the Diodes plays on one of
them which is why it is listed here. They also released other 7"s and at
least one LP.
Rating: 6
Braineaters
The 7" EP is really good punk/artpunk. Includes Buck Cherry (Modernettes)
and "Art Bormann" (K-Tels/Young Canadians). It was reissued in 1996, even
keeping the 8.5 x 11" format sleeve. The 10" flexi, while not as wild as
the EP is still worthwhile. All the sleeves were individually designed and
hand painted and can be quite attractive. The 7" single (which sometimes
came with a huge foldout poster) is mostly slow droning electronics and effects.
The name later changed to I, Braineater with essentially one man (Jim Cummins)
doing it all.
Rating: 9 (the EP), 7 (the flexi) and 5 (the 7")
Brontocrushrock
Passable melodic punkcore.
Rating: 5.5
Brand New Unit (BNU)
Better than average 90's punkcore. There are other releases as well.
Rating: 6
Bubai Skull
Good hard rockin' band. Not punk but still good.
Rating: 7
Bum
For the most part the 7" tracks and the 1st LP kick some serious bum.
Very good rockin' punk including Misfits (Bullet) and Dictators (Weekend)
covers. The split EP with The Smugglers features a DMZ cover and a joint
effort with the Smugglers, a Stones cover (Hang Fire). The CD is a mix of
material from 1992 - 1994 and just doesn't grab me the way the 7"s and 1st
LP did. Some tracks (those already known from previous releases) are fine,
others are somewhat weak. I think there was at least one subsequent release
which I didn't bother with since the mixed results of the CD made me lose
interest. I never did get their 1st 7" (Promise Is A Promise / Wedding Day)
from 1991 but since those tracks are on the 1st LP I long since stopped caring
about it.
Rating: 8 (everything except the CD which is a 6)
Bunchofuckingoofs
Rough hardcore punk. They've been around the Toronto scene for years and have other releases after this.
Rating: 6
2 really good tracks on the 7" and another one on the compilation LP.
Half of the 7"s were issued sleeveless though someone did (much) later do
a 2 piece reproduction on heavy paper stock. Original sleeves are slightly
oversized, glossy white paper with black printing, glued on 3 sides. 500
such sleeves, apparently, not 200 as some people might want you to believe.
And there was only one sleeve design, not 2 as has been rumoured.
Rating: 8.5
Cads
Decent punk-pop, sort of like the Diodes but not as good.
Rating: 6.5
Cannibal
Not sure if these guys were from Vancouver or maybe Seattle? Tryin' is
sort of punk with a hard rock feel. The B side (Wasted Lives) reminds me
of a bad Motorhead song.
Rating: 4
Cardboard Brains
Sometimes billed as John Paul Young and The Cardboard Brains. The first
EP is an excellent punk record. The 12" EP and live LP are much more art/new
wave than punk with considerable use of synthesizers. While they are not
bad records they are dismissed by most punk purists. John Paul Young also
did a solo LP (The Life of Ermie Scub) in 1980 which includes several tracks
which appear on the live LP. The CD contains remixed versions of the 7" and
12" EPs as well as a selection of other tracks. Go here
if you're interested in getting a copy.
Rating: 9 for the 7" EP, 7 for the other records

Dusty Rooms is the one maybe worthwhile song from their 2 EPs. The rest
is rather rock oriented with flashes of punk and hardcore. Generally pretty
boring.

Color Me Psycho
Really good garage punk. Turned into Forbidden Dimension.
Rating: 8
Cover Boys
Despite being on Quintessence, home to other good Vancouver punk bands,
this record is not remotely punk. She's A Jerk is barely passable poppunk,
the other song is some of the lamest shit I've ever heard.

Crash 80s
Good riffpunkrock, from London, Ontario.
Rating: 7
Crash Kills Five
Quite good poppunk.
Rating: 7.5
Cub
"Cuddlecore", whatever that is. 3 woman who are (were?) barely competent
on their instruments playing pretty catchy pop songs, I guess. Fun to listen
to, in small doses. The insert for the Come Out Come Out CD even has a remake
of the D.O.A. Hardcore 81 LP cover ... Cuddlecore 94. They have other releases
after this but I lost interest. Cute and a lack of talent can only take you
so far in the music business. The Subhumans cover on the Oh Canaduh! 2 LP
is truly awful.
Rating: varies from 6.5 to 7.5 across each release
Culture Shock
Mediocre powerpop from Vancouver. Gets Japanese collectors all excited. Powerpearls material.
Rating: 6.5
Curious George
Pretty good punk/hardcore mix. The Pink Floyd Cover is pretty cool.
Rating: 6
Curse
All female punk band from Toronto. Mostly OK. Their side of the split
7" with The Diodes isn't music, it's vocalist Mickey Skin offering her opinion
on a monologue by a pretentious art theorist that is heard in the background.
She basically suggests where he can put his theories. The 7" tracks both
appear on the Killed By Death #26 LP and the CD. The 7" first appeared in
a mostly white sleeve with red lettering, then later in a black and yellow
sleeve.
Rating: 6.5
Curse of Horseflesh
Cool country twang, blues, surfy instrumentals, lo-fi rootsy stomping
from Calgary. The A side of the 7" is not about the political has-been who
is trying to save Canada yet again.
Rating: 7
Curtains
Cool punk-pop from Ottawa. Someone told me he first thought they were
from California since the songs have somewhat of a surf style to them.
Rating: 7
Customers
Lame pop-ska from Toronto.
Rating: 4
Cutz
Gothy sounding punkish songs. From Calgary.
Rating: 6
From St. John's, Newfoundland. Great mix of punk, almost hardcore, and
general goofing around. You'll even find some Beefheart influence and some
country stylings mixed in. The LPs come in another group's LP jacket with
the band name spray-painted on it. Side A was recorded in a studio in 1978,
side B in 1979. Sides 3 and 4 are live recordings from 1979. The CD is a
complete show from 1984 though a lot of the material was written several
years earlier. The playing may be more proficient but the punk spirit is
definitely still there. Get your sorry ass over to their web site and get a copy right now.
Rating: 8.5
Danger
Another one I know nothing about. It has the MAPL logo on it so it is
Canadian, from Quebec somewhere. The music is somewhat uninspired bar poprock,
not really punk.
Rating: 5.5
Dangerously Americanized Canadians
Terribly generic hardcore.
Rating: 4
Originally known as the Dayglow Abortions. The first LP is a very good
punk rock record. Most of the first LP was included on the second LP (3 tracks
were left off, 2 of them are on the CD). The second LP also has some worthwhile
tracks. After this they became more thrashy, metallic and I lost interest.
They are still going, in some version at least. Their less than subtle lyrics
landed them in court in the late 1980's on obscenity charges. Hey, look at
us, we're (trying to be) shocking. Yawn. The cover of the first LP was used
as the cover for Break The Rules #8. Some copies of the Toxic Shock pressing
of the second LP come on orange vinyl. For more info check out their current
label - God Records .
Rating: 8 for the first LP. 7 for the second.
d.b.s
Their first vinyl release. The members were 14 - 15 years old then and
they were one of many poppunkcore bands around at the time. They're still
going. Their 3rd LP is available on Sudden Death Records .

These tracks from their 1st 12" are good mid-tempo hardcore. Their later LP (Stop Killing Me) sounded like metal/rock.

Quite good speedy poppunk. Has some memebers from an earlier Ottawa punk band I think (Restless Virgins?).

Deja Voodoo
Way cool shit! 2 guys with guitar and drums pound out "rockabilly-blues-punk-psych-garage-R&B-surf-country
sludge full strength". Their influences are many. Among those mentioned on
the Swamp Of Love LP: Eddie Cochran, Bo Diddley, Jody Reynolds, Link Wray,
Big Maybelle, Wilbert Harrison, Wynonie Harris, Big Mama Thornton, Cramps,
Louis Armstrong, Kinks, Buddy Holly, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Muddy Waters,
Elmore James, Elvis Presley, The Gun Club, Animals, Johnny Cash, Dead Kennedys,
Trashmen, Jerry Lee Lewis, Contours, Jesus & Mary Chain and Velvet Underground.
Put that all together and what do you get? As I said, way cool shit!
Rating: 8
Demics
Really good punk band, started out in London in 1977. The 12" is top notch
punk rock. The LP is tamer, though the songs are still good. Many of them
appear on the CD in live versions. The CD consists of the 12" tracks, 3 1978
studio recordings and live sessions from 1978 and 1979. There are also 2
7"s which are just tracks from the LP and don't have picture sleeves. Of
interest only for nerdy collectors.
Rating: 8.5 (the 12"), 8 (the CD) and 7 (the LP)
Desperate Minds
Like most of the Chikara label releases this is hardcore with a rock edge
to it. Maybe it is "emo", whatever the fuck that is. Probably the better
of the releases on this label (from Kamloops, British Columbia) but if you
never hear them you won't be missing a lot.
Rating: 6
Dice
I picked this up because it was on the same label as the 63 Monroe 12".
Thankfully I only paid $1 for it because it sucks! Very tame pop-rock.

Diefenbakers
A really good band from Edmonton. Unfortunately they never released anything
and these recordings aren't the best quality. Perhaps with current technology
something can be done about that.

Dik Van Dykes
Their 2nd LP. Good poppunk with a sense of humour.
Rating: 7
Diodes
The first LP is excellent, the second nearly so. The 3rd one is very lame
in comparison. The Survivors LP is a collection of material dating from 1977-81
is mostly OK. There were a number of 7"s issued, some promos, all with LP
tracks, and only the Red Rubber Ball / We're Ripped one had a picture sleeve.
There has been a CD reissue of most of the Columbia/Epic material from 1977-78
which I haven't yet obtained. Their manager has a cool web site which includes pages about the band and the CD.
Rating: 8 (1st LP), 7.5 (2nd LP), 5.5 (3rd LP), 7 (4th LP)

More rock than punk. Average.

Excellent raw, loud punk. Read about them in the booklet that comes in

Dishrags
Originally from Victoria they started in 1977 opening for The Furies in
Vancouver. Starting with Lou Reed, Clash and Ramones covers they quickly
developed a number of original songs and became very prominent in the Vancouver
scene. The CD includes both EPs, the Vancouver Complication track and demo
and live tracks.
Rating: 8
D.O.A.
Long-lived and probably the best known Canadian punk band. There are other
releases besides those listed here. I sort of lost interest in them in the
late 80's/early 90's. Most of the material from that era is still good, it
just isn't as good as the earlier stuff. The Black Spot CD is surprisingly
good though. There is a D.O.A. history and more at the Sudden Death Records site.
Rating: Generally 8 or 8.5, some is better some is worse. The Let's Wreck The Party LP is about a 6.

(The first CD is excellent with several classic punk tracks and several
unreleased tracks from the Furies, Skulls (pre-D.O.A.), Stiffs (pre-Subhumans)
and BIZ. The second CD is post-1983 and with the exception of I, Braineater,
NoMeansNo, and Slow it is mostly decent indie rock. However, the first
disc and booklet alone make this worth getting.)

Stutter (NoMeansNo) [Puritans]]
(This is a collection of old, relatively obscure Canadian punk songs covered
by current bands. Mostly the originals are better than the cover versions.
The crummy sound of the LP doesn't help either. The Von Zippers, Mants,
Forbidden Dimension, Mudhoney, Teenage Kicks and Puritans are the best of the
lot. Cub and Junior Varsity particularly suck. An interesting concept but I
prefer the original versions.)

These are records that I've had that I either thought were complete shit and couldn't bring myself to waste tape on, or ones that just don't do anything at all for me musically.

Anyone who calls this punk and charges more than $1
for it hasn't a clue what punk is. Anyone who pays
more than 50 cents for it is a clueless moron who
deserves to be parted from their money.

Crisis of Faith split EP with Chokehold (1991) Thrashcore.
The American Dream ... LP (1991) More of the same, or

over and over and over and over and over.
Chokehold EP (1992) see Crisis Of Faith.

Death Of Gods A World Of One, Divided By All EP (1988) Generic HC.
Direct Action Trapped In A World LP (1984)
Damn-Age LP (1988) Both are basic boring hardcore.
