Welcome to Punkanada where I'm trying to get as much good 80's Canadian Punk music as possible in one place, especially bands I like or have seen play live. All of the music here is available for download elsewhere but why waist hours searching when I've already done all of the dirty work for you. I've also spent a lot of time editing the music to get the sound as good as possible.
Enjoy, and if you like the tunes please LEAVE A COMMENT!
Down Syndrome from Edmonton. I know I saw them sometime, somewhere, with somebody because I bought this EP at the show. I think it was with SNFU or maybe DOA.
The band I was playing with at the time(Corpus Vile), we played our first show opening for Down Syndrome at Wellington's in Winnipeg in January 1986. GREAT band. This is definitely one of the best Canadian Hardcore releases of the 1980s.
They did tour a couple of times, but not with me. They played around in Ontario as well as Omaha, Iowa & somewhere else in the mid-west. Then they put out an LP on Fringe called "What Does It Take". By that time they were quite speed metal-sounding.It's a good record but very different from when I was in the band. The bass player, Todd Olsen, does the 7 Inch Punk blog. It hasn't been operating for awhile, so I hope he hasn't given up.

ReplyDeleteCorpus Vile sounds familiar for some reason, did you guys ever tour?
