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.”

this record is awesome, and…….that is the most potent canadian accent i think ive ever heard committed to vinyl…
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.
R.I.P Mike :(

I think the vocalist sounds a bit like gg allin, when gg still did good songs.
This band is the shit. I deffinately wouldn’t mind hearing those other songs. That one song is catchy as fuck.
Its nice to hear somebody likes what we did way back when
It was fun. I wish I did stick it out longer, but there are alot more songs in the collection, But I don’t have access to them. Anyone out them with them recorded needs to put them up!
I have a few more songs . I’ve sent them to ciur.fm should get some air time sunday nights 10 til midnight equalizingxdistort@ciut.fm
Awesome times . Awesome band. RIP Mike.
Holy shit! How did i miss this? One the best punk rock songs i’ve ever heard. I agree with the GG Allin comparison…
Yeah Rebel…is GREAT! The rest is pretty boring.
