Oh Canadu. Joining Minutemen(USA) and Seems Twice(Australia) The Presence blows off some arty punk steam in the same vein. A couple of fillers but enough great tracks to make it worth a post. I wish I knew something about these comrades but as google gives me near to nothing I place my hope in you the readers/downloaders. Packed in a nice envelope sleeve(just as another Canadian band The Braineaters posted awhile ago) but is hellish to store.
Country: Canada
Year: 1981
Label: Self Released
Format: 7″
Songs:
Concrete/Metal.mp3
Struck By A Disquieting Muse.mp3
Disease.mp3
Seduced By The System.mp3
Getting Twisted.mp3
A novelty to me, but what a great one!
Well I like the Minutemen (saw them play in Houston in ’84) and like the Seems Twice single as well so I’m looking forward to hearing this one! Thanks for posting! As for the odd size sleeve you might consider building a shed for storage :).
Seems like this post was a real winner ha ha.
Where were you in ’82?
You can listen to the radio interview that might get you an idea.
Always the same: People comment on what they know and not what they don’t. I hate them.
Yeah I find it very strange. I personally would rather comment on something I haven’t heard and that I like of course.
Ppl just want to hear old crap so that they can say that they hated it back in the days, and they still do!
Peter, please let me know your shipping address. I would like to send you some obscure Hungarian demo from the 80′s. I’m so curious about your opinion. Thanks dude!
Opsy! Sorry Laszlo I know you’ve been trying to do that before :). Contact me via: info at kbdrecords dot com
Cool post, mostly for its obscurity (at least totally unknown to me), but Concrete/Metal and Disease are pretty cool tracks. Why did I find myself craving a listen to Q: Are We Not Men, A: We Are Devo? while listening to track 2? I have no idea.
I meant no disrespect Flakes Drummer! I was only pulling your leg about the shed. I was serious about the Minutemen and the Seems Twice which I did download and listen to. I like it. I will do the same with the Presence. I have dial-up and have it in my download manager. And I also appreciate the Red Cross 12″ and your whole site in general. :)
I didn´t interpret your comment as disrespect at all :). How come you got that impression?
found one of the members, Rob. i guess he moved to calgary in 74 and stayed there till 86 and he says two of the members, brad and grant are still there. Rob is actually from the UK!
i guess they’re another EP too!
“The Presence single ‘Blown Away’ is a better listen, recorded a year after the EP and after the band had spent a lot of time on the road.” -Rob
seems like right the cool guy. i’ll ask him if he wants to leave a comment.
i guess this is what he’s doing nowadays musically! :)

Those words were spray-painted on a wall behind Winnipeg’s dingy punk dive (Wellington’s) back in the eighties. I’m guessing the band did the work themselves.

OH BLOODY HELL – this is excellent. Like the Minutemen, yeah .. maybe — seems twice? seems not to me. Sounds a bit like MOTOR BOYS MOTOR from the same time period.
Concrete/Metal is worth the “price” of admission. That’s a great track. The rest of it is pretty good, too, but I’ll listen to Concrete/Metal over and over.
