Death Sentence

I dunno if this was a band that Grant introduced me to or if it was on Nick Oliver's CHSR Punk show 'Institutionalized'..... Can't remember...

I do however remember listening to their self titled album over and over and over again in my bedroom at my Dad's place on Victoria street.
 Death Sentence, who were not QUITE as controversial as the Dayglo Abortions, but were just as kick ass...


How can you go wrong with songs about arson, MDMA and the 'Pigs' (RCMP)... I had thought W.A.S.P.'s 'Fuck Like a Beast' was naughty and ultra bad ass... Then I was introduced to bands like Death Sentence, The Dayglo Abortions,  The Accused and the latter two, were both from Canada and both super crazy with more Hardcore Punk sensibilities than just 'Punk Rock'...They were freakin' hardcore! They truly walked the walk and sang the talk.

I had asked Grant on my birthday if Death Sentence still existed, but apparently most of the guys are freakin dead.... Hardcore lifestyle....

A trip to the past! With Vancouver's  'Death Sentence' - Some of my fave select tracks from their self titled album:
'Don't just live, live to die!'

'It's a Nightmare'

And my personal favorite and it'll soon be yours......
RCMP... "Bunch of fuckin' Piigssss" (those are the lyrics!!|)


Enjoy your long weekend and remember, don't just live.... Live to die!
