Though Montreal and other provinces boasted their quotient, Canadian punk’s twin poles were Vancouver and Toronto. The entire nation’s spiritual equivalent of the Stooges or Velvet Underground has to be Hamilton, Ontario’s avant-garage unit Simply Saucer. Began in 1972 by enigmatic singer/guitarist Edgar Breau, they oozed a loud, rowdy mishmash of the Stooges and such latter-day electro-psych outfits as Hawkwind via such charmingly titled angular riff explosions with power electronics as ...

Of course, he said this over the opening chords of “Rebel Rebel.” But didn’t those vomit-orange spikes suspiciously resemble Ziggy Stardust’s earlier thatched mullet? Didn’t he sing into a mic Steve Jones stole from the Ziggy farewell gig? And Jonesy clearly owed Johnny Thunders guitar-wise, but those roaring power chords were stamped with a classic Bowie guitari...

On the 30 th anniversary of Johnny Thunders passing, Duff McKagan pays tribute to the former New Doll and Heartbreakers leader – his ultimate hero. Words: Duff McKagan It was probably late ​’78, I was 13 or 14, and I was getting turned on to this new music that was punk rock. I felt I was late to the party because ​’77 was the year it had broken and, being a kid, I’d missed that. At that age, things move fast. I’d heard the Pistols and we had DOA from Vancouver BC and I ha...

[Photos via YouTube] When the ball dropped in New York City’s Times Square at the stroke of midnight Dec. 31, 2009, punk rock had been around 35 years. (Or 33, depending on if you date the subculture from when the Ramones began playing gigs or from the mythic Punk Year Zero of 1977.) It was well into its third decade as the 21st century entered its second. There was now plenty of history from which new bands could draw inspiration—not just punk history. It no longer had to come from the Ra...
