THE SCREWED
1977 CD 2009
4 veterans of the original Toronto punk scene decide to form a band and play their favourite 1977 (hence the Cd’s title) punk rock tunes for the fun of it and you get to reap the benefit on this CD. You know most, if not all of the songs (if not, take Punk Rock 101 on your nearest college radio station) as they’ve been ingrained into your brain for way too many years and you know what? They still sound as fresh today as they did back in ‘77. You’ve got everyone from the Sex Pistols to the Damned to the Buzzcocks to the Ramones to The Boys and many more represented on these classic punk rock tunes that’ll turn your next party into an instant pogo-athon! And there was a neat little throwback in the liner notes, “engineer Simon Less” which was Peter Moore’s (who actually is the producer on this CD) punk rock name back when he recorded live shows and played them on CHRW back in the late ‘70s/early ‘80s! (Dave O’Halloran)
