The Diodes were arguably the best band to come out of Canada.
Here is their debut single from 1978. A prime piece of Old School Punk sadly ignored outside of their own country.

Top stuff.

Good stuff! Saw these guys play a few times in TO. I have an autographed copy of this LP signed by the band. I may upload "Tennis Again" and feature my LP within the video...
Cheers!

@CatapultYourMom Exactly. And unlike the Diodes, The Ramones needed Phil Spector's help to do it on End of the Century (1979). Not saying that the Ramones weren't great, though.

Heard this on a college radio station in Feb. '78. Yes, I get what the song was about.
-
The synths in this song are awesomely addicting!
-
i'd say great Ramones were ANYWAY a bit less inventing (concerning the sond!) and they always had more... "bubble gum"! xDD

I wonder if her brother heard this and if it bothered him.

@srfrr In 1977, the Ramones sounded nothing like that. If anything, the Ramones ripped this sound off for their later records.

Dood, this song was NOT ignored! it was a HUGE On LATERISERSCLUB- the worlds first and most enduring punk rock show on WMBR, MITs radio in camb ma. - it was the first punk song i ever heard - Mr French mr French i'm feeling tense"- about the real life BUFFY on the very awkward sensless old B & W TV early 60's. "Family affair,' apparenly inspired by ART LINKLETTERS daughter, she sailed out of a skyscraper high on acid thinkin maybe she could fly. Well she did, but not that far!
