Never heard Naptown before.
I'm biased, but this is legitimately good. It will be sold out within the next week or so, just as people outside Toronto start noticing.

I'll read the chapter on Tim Freeborn first.
Tim was the primary proofreader! Also: ?Hayseed Hardcore? was the best Toronto punk record of the decade.
came back 2 this thread cuz i found out this is a grabbies record. any footage of those guys exist?
Just close your eyes, listen to the record, and time travel to that gig.
Like King810, I question the inzanity ascribed to this dude. When I saw him live all he did was shake a dirty mop. Chicago Goons intimidated the fugk out of Cleveland Zanies. They didn't do shit.
Is punk dangerous? Has it ever been? I mean live gigs. Hardly anyone has died. Sure, broken bones and split lips, but real talk, the 99%* of the wildest punk gigs are merely shennanigans.
*I know about LA riots, and NYC beatdowns, GG feces, and a grave dug human skull at a gig in Flint, but c'mon... is punk crazy and is Anus anything more than a class clown?
Anus is a pussy. It's right there in black & white.
Most of the shows I went to (about 2-3 a week) from 1999-2006 were basically mating rituals where punk and emo guys would peacock for girls (or boys) and vice versa. Total safe spaces and basically a big hook up culture. Do you consider getting an STD in the parking lot to be "dangerous"? If so, punk is off the chain!
80's HC guys (I'm 39) always made it sound like old hardcore concerts were a Vietnam experience and hyped up how dangerous it was. I dunno, was it? I gotta think young people have always been on the same wavelength (ie romance, socializing, etc). If punk shows were known for prison style violence, bloodshed and gore, I probably woulda stayed home on Friday nights.
Late 80s/early 90s punk/HC shows in CT, MA, RI & NY were really only gnarly because of dumb ass skins coming to start shit just because they had nothing else to do. Cut them out and it woulda just been a buncha nice nerds (raises hand).
This is one of the best live punk recordings ever.
I haven't seen a Nazi skin at show since 98.
Cold As Life shows I went to in the 90's were genuinely sketchy. I doubt I'll witness anything like that ever again.

Any Three Initials LP - post-Flipper Will Shatter project whose LP on Subterranean never made it past the test press stage, other than a bootleg CD-r in 2011. Anybody know why? Were the tests rejected? This seems like something tailor made for Superior Viaduct (at least during the first couple years of their existence. Seems like they're less focused on the SF underground these days).
That raspy, cig stained Eddie Vedder vocal style was what 1993 was all about.
I always thought it was funny that Mark Lanegan isn't THAT good looking (he's a normal looking guy), but within the context of The Screaming Trees, he's like a total sex symbol.
I bet it's pretty sweet to be one of the other Big Boys in Poison Idea.
If you were in any other band, you would be known as "The Fat One."
But thanks to Pig Champ, you get to fly under the radar!
this thread makes me sad because it made me realize that the Joey Ramone, Tommy Ramone wig fight on Howard Stern has been taken off the internet, which led me to discover that the DLR Sammy Hagar fight on Howard Stern has also been taken down.
