I completely fail to understand why more of this shit didn't better penetrate across the border. There's so much Canadian punk & rock that we missed out on down here (USA in general, Philly specif). I've always had a good time and fair deal with the Canadian punks.
@howlingmongoose They weren't around long enough to release anything. As far as I know they only recorded a demo before two of them formed the Subhumans
@JimmyHeartburn75 Hmm...very likely not. The stuff I know is Elvis Costello and the Attractions, Ian Dury & the Blockheads, Nick Lowe, Wreckless Eric and Larry Wallis. I punched in The Stiffs into YouTube and this came up, so I presumed it was the same thing. Same time period, at least. Anyway, the Live Stiffs album is great too, lol, even if it's Brits instead. Cheers!
thanks for the comment! I guess technically it's not a cover because Gerry and Mike took this song with them when they formed the Subhumans and this was unreleased at the time
Nie dla ACTA !

Damn, after hearing this song played by Overkill, DOA, Subhumans, and the Stiffs I gotta say that all of them kick ass!

I've been an Overkill fan for 23-24 years now and I just now learned that their e.p. was based on a cover song. Holy shit.
