Did you know that Oshawa has been a hotbed for punk rock and new wave since the early ’80s? This week, I’m joined by my friend Steven Frank, who dives into the city’s underground music scene through his new book and art installation, Young, Fast & Scientific: The DIY World of Al Cole.
Together, we explore the life and legacy of the legendary Al Cole, uncovering his influence on Ontario’s music landscape and how his fearless creativity helped shape the culture right here in Oshawa.  Also, did you know the Ramones played here in the early '90s? Spoiler: It was the best day of my life.
If you love music history, punk energy, or discovering the stories behind local legends, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
Recorded live to tape by 'Shwa Studios in the Green Room at Bond St. Event Centre in beautiful Downtown Oshawa (DTO).
