CIUT's transmitter stopped working last week. We have been operating off a temporary transmitter. The funding drive is all about raising twice as much money so that we can buy a new transmitter and have it installed. The theme for the campaign continues with "Sound of the City" but I reinterpreted it to be "Sound in our city" so that we could focus on some of the upcoming shows coming to town one of which is the Stage Bottles next Saturday. This anti-fascist oi band has a...

This is Equalizing-X-Distort, the hardcore punk show from CIUT 89.5 FM. Tonight's show was based around D'Arcy's trip to Japan. He started off with a set of Japanese bands that his band Snakepit played with. He followed that up with a set of Japanese hardcore releases he found while in Japan. Then he did a set of hard to find releases that he picked up in Japan that were not Japanese. That was followed up by D'Arcy's top 10 for 2010. Direct Approach were the demo feature.

This show was inspired by a feature in a weekly entertainment magazine known as Now. This past week they did a feature on the Best 50 albums by Torontonians. They had a punk singles list which made very little sense given the enormity of the period and the nubre of bands that have put out great things so we did our own list based on Generations of punk. We started off with the punk scene and then we did the hardcore scene. Then we looked at the 90's and the new milennium. Here are the respectve...
