  3. Live Session: Truck Violence!

    Live Session: Truck Violence!

    This week, we are joined in session by the Montreal-based four-piece punk band Truck Violence! Truck Violence go beyond the confines of punk: drawing on influences from back home in Alberta, where vocalist Karsyn Henderson and guitarist Paul Lecours are from, the band paint visit pictures of life in the prairies with both their music and words, centred around Karsyn’s captivating poetry. Musically, they occasionally draw on country music, even featuring the banjo. The band joined us before their set at The Handlebar in Toronto to talk art, poetry, authenticity, Alberta and their 2024 debut album Violence. You will also hear 3 songs performed at that show: 1. Undressed you layn't before 2. Lecture 3. Guns buried in the front yard. Unfortunately, the only place we could record this interview was outdoors, so I apologise for the occasional street noises and jackets rustling. EQ can do a lot but it's not magic! And thank you to the band for braving -10ºC weather to chat poetry with me for 20 minutes. Cover art: Truck Violence in Toronto, 21 February 2026 by Cece Tang.

    Yellow Brit Road 8 March 2026: Muse, Gorillaz, Help (2), Dear Evangeline live session!

    A busy week on the Yellow Brit Road! We celebrated 25 years of Muse's iconic single 'Plug In Baby', taken from their breakthrough second album Origin of Symmetry, review the new Gorillaz album The Mountain, walk through the making of War Child's new charity album Help (2): is it the album of the year already? Not a special show for International Women's Day (if people weren't cowards they could do it every week... signed, a show run by a woman that features women more than half the show most weeks anyway). But! We are also joined for a live session by Brampton based metal band Dear Evangeline! We recorded them at The Handlebar in Toronto on 21 March 2026. Music this week by: Muse, Gorillaz, Heavenly, Jessie and the Revolvers, Morton Betts, Sprints, English Teacher/Help (2), Drop Dead McPhee, Nxdia, Kingdom of Birds, Monstrosa, Dear Evangeline.
