Fox On The Run EP



Fox On The Run was a short lived hardcore/punk band. They opened for a lot of great bands like Strike Anywhere, New Mexican Disaster Squad, Cold World, A Day And A Deathwish, Rzl Dzl, and many other hardcore and punk bands that came through at the time. They released this 4 song demo before breaking up. I have the cover art, but no scanner..so their logo will have to make due for now. Some of the members later moved on to hardcore bands Frozen Pipes and The Wishlist who are now both distinct.

Million Dollar Marxists - Self-Titled


I don't know much about the history of the band, but I know one thing; they were an awesome band both recorded and live! Every time I saw them live, singer Luke, would be creative and use the whole venue at his discretion. They even played Blues Fest one year, and after Luke climbed to the top of the stage fixtures they threatened to shut them down unless he climbed down immediately. This album is their self-titled I believe. It's a bit before Give It A Name came out. Some of the songs from this are on Give It A Name.

Ever So Clever - Pwned

This band was basically a fail from the get-go upon its inception in 2003. They played nintendocore comparable to Horse The Band, except bad. The recording quality on this is really poor and you can barely tell what's going on, not that you would want to anyway. Basically, the main flaw with this album is it's existence. Download this if you want a seizure, but if you get past the 15 second mark you might find yourself in a coma.

Band Write-ups

We're going to start to have more band/album write-ups done by people who were actually in the band. My write-ups suck and half these bands are from before my time anyway. haha.

Between The Broken - Demo (2006)



Between the Broken will not be a band that you will think of when you recall Ottawa's best bands. However, their shows brought friends together and that's what is most important. In two years BTB played a ton of local shows, one train-wreck of a weekend tour and released one very expensive and poorly produced demo. Let's just leave it at that and say it was fun while it lasted. BTB members are now in other Ottawa bands such as Brights, I Refuse, Benefit of a Doubt and Alaskan.

Heavendog - Holy Cow (1993)


Heavendog formed in Ottawa in 1991. They played early 90's style powerpop comparable to Big Drill Car, Overwhelming Colorfast, Doughboys, and other contemporaries of the time. The band played shows with acts such as the Bad Brains, the Doughboys, Redd Kross, Screaching Weasel, Trigger Happy, Furnace Face, Mushroom Explosion, Red Fisher, and many more before inevitably breaking up.
