Imploders, Layback, Gimic and Burning Cows at The Golden Lion
Headfirst Editor's Pick

"Shitty Futures infect the Golden Lion with more snotty hxc than you can shake a sodden battle jacket at. Toronto’s Imploders make a redline amphetamine racket full of erratic hooks and the belligerent weirdness of classic Zero Boys or Angry Samoans. Plus crossover crust dirge from Layback and can’t-see-em-enough scene favs Gimic."
