Bolded bands are one's I've seen live.
My early punk influences also include 85 RPM (radio show here in Vancouver BC, long since gone) and all those old Bad Compilation tapes put out by Chris BCT! As for 'zines in the "old days" my biggest influence was Maximumrocknroll and some local one's like Subversive Behaviour, COH, Secret Burial (later called Endless Struggle). Also who could forget Scratch Records in Vancouver, that's where I bought the Rattus Ratcage release plus many others!
