Well Alfred at least one of those bands are on the list, and there is more Canadian hardcore to come. I prefer the old school stuff though, as it tended to be little more obnoxious and rebellious.

Good call on Gang Green. I remember seeing them back in '89 in this tiny venue where the stage was basically just a 2 inch step above the floor and there was probably around 80 - 100 of us and the pit was amazing. Got my virgin black eye via a pit at this gig. They were supporting Meliah Rage if I remember rightly who were one of those second gen Thrash bands with a few good tunes but Gang Green was by far the better show.

A shiner at a Gang Green concert lol, why doesn't that suprise me, a great, but often forgotten band.
I agree with you on Municipal Waste, the first time I heard them they sounded like a DRI clone to me...just not as good, and there always toted as crossover kings. I haven't heard anything mind blowing from them either, I prefer Warbringer & Toxic Holocaust.
