We had some time when we didn’t publish anything, but we’ve been a bit busy with day by day life, so here you go, for today we go to Canada for Reifer Madness. The band have two singles and one EP since 2016 and now here is their first LP called Break Out and was released in June 2020. 16 tracks of pure and angry street punk with sing along choruses just in the mood for this quarantine. So if you are into bands like The Meatmen (also they have a cover after Pope On A Rope), or bands like Exploited, A Global Threat, Discharge or Blitz then you should give them a try. Old school punk meets the anger of street punk, made with love and hate on the streets of Edmonton, Alberta. My personal favorite is Tomorrow and Punk Rock is Life. Also you can check the video for Punk Rock is Life below. Cheers! #upthepunx

Ok, other good news from Rebel Time Records, we are talking about Union Thugs and their first EP, FOLKLORE OUVRIER (Folklore Worker). The band formed in Montreal, Canada and they are coming from different bands punk/oi like: Action Sedition and Mayday. They are 6 workers first and then musicians that are brining the workers condition and different problems into a folk/oi sound. The EP is a collection of covers of working class anthems in their oi/folk style. The members are not only musicians and they have involved in many projects and organizations like: RASH (red and anarchists skinheads), COBP ( committee opposed to police brutality) and more, this is true working class band and sound, songs in English and French, with sing along choruses and with fists in the air. The EP is out like i said on Rebel Time Records in Canada, and other good labels around the world that promote the true and honest punk and working class culutre like: Discos Machete in Mexico, Dure Realite in Canada, Fire and Flame Music in Germany, Kale Borroka in Basque Country, Rudy’s Back in France. Think about Angelic Upstarts, Molodoi, Brigada Flores Magon and many many others that had something to say and raise their voice on working class problems. The EP has a nice video of the classic Partisan song on youtube and we are waiting for more. SOLIDARITÉ! SOLIDARITY! Something to listen and think! Thanks to Randy and Rebel Time for the album and also for the 20 pages zine with some history about working class movement.

THE FALLOUT – THE TIMES HAVE NEVER CHANGED
The Fallout from Toronto, Canada are back with “The Times Have Never Changed” it is the new LP since their EP in 2018 “Raise Your Flag and Other Anthems”. There are 15 new tracks with a mix of Anti Flag meet Dead Kennedys, Angelic Upstarts or DOA. The band lyrics are about politics, injustice and day by day issues of the world. Rebel Time Records from Canada and Discos Machete from Mexico made the album possible. Real protest punk rock, melodic and furious in the same time. Passionate and really committed to a lot of their causes, this is a band that keeps in mind RATM quote “doing is the best way of saying”. So for all the crisis that is around the globe, all the protests and racism, this will be the perfect album. The album can be found on Discos Machete, Rebel Time Records and as well on their bandcamp page as pay-what-you-like. They have a first video for the The Time Have Never Changed and you can check Rebel Time Records you tube page for more. My personal favorites: Raise Your Flag (a strong message and a sing along chorus) and One Last Struggle. Resistance, solidarity and unity!!!

For our last number in 2019 we had an awseome interview with Erik from La Gachette (oi from Canada), thanks to our mate CezarOi!. The band will prepare a Mexico Tour in 2020 and we will see them live in Guadalajara on 21st of March. Our latest number will be out at the end of this December. Stay rude, stay rebel.

MirceONE (mptyzine): Oi Erik, this is MirceONE from MPTY ZINE, how are you?
Erik: Very good, thanks for having us in your zine!
For those who don’t know La Gachette, please tell us a few words about how you guys started.
We started the band in 1998, we were two young punks with a beatbox at the time, living in a small town about an hour from Montreal. There weren’t a lot of musicians who were into Oi! and old school punk rock where we came from so it was just us for 2 years before meeting our first drummer in 2000. We’ve had a different band members throughout the first years but the same guys since 2012.
Please tell us few things about your influences and message.
Our biggest influences when we started were a lot of old bands from France like Béruriers Noirs, La Souris Déglinguée, Les Sheriff, Komintern Sect, etc. That was the sound we were looking for at the time. We also had a really good Montreal scene when we started in the 90’s so we were inspired by all the bands we were hanging with. For example Self Control, Les Ordures Ioniques, Vagabonds, Les Bons à Riens and many others. There’s no particular message in our music, we just sing about the things we’re passionate about.

Few words about the scene in Montreal, bands, clubs, people
Montreal always been a great city for punk rock and Oi! bands. We have The Prowlers (in which I play guitar), Offside (in which our Guillaume plays guitar), Les Ordures Ioniques, Ultra Razzia, KingCans, Force Majeure, Béton Armé etc. We have a few great places to play at but our favorite is Katacombes. Unfortunately it’s closing down at the end of the month due to the owner not wanting to fix up the place. It’s a big loss for the scene.
I know that you have been in Mexico, and that you guys will come in March 2020 again, how was the public back then and how was the experience?
Everytime we come we have a blast and the reaction is amazing every time. The crowd singing our songs in french make us so proud. The craziest show we did was in Aquascalientes in 2017. It was an outdoor show where we played in front of 500 angry kids of all kinds of subcultures and it was the best shows of our lives.
I will wait for 21 March to see you in Guadalajara, did you played here before?
Yes ! We’ve played there twice. Once in 2010 with Acidez and Nacidos del Odio and in 2012 again with Nacidos del Odio and Diedreis. We had a great time and can’t wait to go back.

Name me a top 10 of your favorite bands
In no particular order The Business, Cock Sparrer, The Clash, D.O.A., Dayglo Abortions, Bishop’s Green, Warrior Kids, Komintern Sect, Bonecrusher, Eskorbuto
Where people can listen to La Gachette and do you prepare something for 2020, a new LP?
You can listen to most of our songs on Spotify, BandCamp, iTunes and YouTube. Nothing new coming in the new year, still promoting our new record, 20 ans d’Insoumission, for now.
Tell me if you know something about the Eastern European scene and Romania as i like to ask this question for all my interviews and see how much people are familiar with my country.
We haven’t had an offer to play in Romania yet but in 2013 we played in Czech Republic and in 2015 we played in Hungary and Serbia. In Serbia we played in Novi Sad and it was a really good time. We’re not as familiar with the Eastern European scene as we’d like to be .
A Christmas wish list or some resolutions for 2020? Did you write to Santa Claus already?:))
I am not a big fan of Christmas or Santa Claus but my resolution for the new year will be to continue to play more shows everywhere we can.
I know that Canada was recently voted best country to live, is that true?
I haven’t heard but it is a great country to live in except the weather is shit. Winter lasts five to six months and the summers are short and hot. Politically it’s not too bad if you compare us to our american neighbours. Our prime minister is a left winger but he’s out of reality. His father was our prime minister in the 80’s. So he’s a daddy’s boy and he obviously doesn’t know what it’s like to be part of the working class.
A few words for our few online readers for 2020?
Come see our shows and we’ll give you a free DVD ! Hahahahaha we have way too many in our rehearsal room!
Thank you so much Erik for your time, i will see you guys soon for some tacos here in Guadalajara, a message for the people here in Mexico?
Hasta Pronto Cabrones !!!
