It seems the old Garage Punk site posted fan comps by forum members. But they seem to have disappeared with the demise of the original website.
As such, I thought I'd revive a thread here where we can post our own fan compilations.
I'll start:
This is a fan compilation I made, of nothing but Canadian underground rock from between 1975-1995. This is the first in a series of similar comps I'm putting together.
I've tried to put together a nice mix of different styles, from straight-ahead Punk Rock, Hardcore and Garage Punk, to New Wave, Alt-Country and Post-Punk, Jazz-Funk, Jangle-Pop, Space Rock, Industrial and Reggae. While many of the songs and artists might not be "definitive" of Canadian punk rock ("What...? No Teenage Head? No DOA?, etc."), during the time frame I've provided, I've tried to concentrate on some selections that might not immediately come to mind.
Rest assured, the so-called "definitives" will be included in subsequent volumes.
I know the cover is a bit cheesy and lame (trust me...it's hard to find good band photos out there without copyright -- this one's courtesy of Chris Barry and the late Bryan Damaged c/o Punk History Canada dot com). Originally I was going to call it "Uh-Oh Canaduh!"... but that was too much of a ripoff of the Oh Canaduh series of punk rock covers. I might re-change it altogether, I don't know.
I'll keep you posted.
Cheers.
