The Statics - Rebel Like Me E.P. 7″
May 16th, 2006 at 2:14 am
Obscure trio from Canada that recorded the titel track and the second track to be included on a compilation called “Missussauga Live”. The Statics where the only punk act on that comp. Canadas Ugly Pop Records released these two tracks and a third one on a 7inch in 2001. “Rebel Like Me” is the only great song. And what a song it is. The second one is bad rock n roll and the third is poor heavy metal. “…the struggle to bring punk rock to Mississauga was an uphill battle all the the way, and in late summer/early fall of 1981 The Statics packed it in. Mississauga’s lone punk rock sons were no more.”

I was actually wondering about the accent Dylan! I thought he was trying to sound a bit too “British Punk”. But thanks for clearing this up.

Wow. Ross Johnson (drummer) is my father. They would have been really big if they stuck with it.
