A couple of years ago I was at a second hand record store,
browsing through piles of used CD`s / DVD`s. I found this boxset with two
documentaries inside
A – The street; a film with the homeless (1997).
B – S.P.I.P.T. – squeegee punks in traffic (2001).
I think I paid 5.00 $ at the time (2.50$ each, not bad). I
watched both of them the same night. I like real life documentaries which has
nothing in common with reality bullshit i.e. TV. Time passed. My apartment was
full of CD`s / DVD`s they were just lying there. I made a pile, put them in a
box and gave them to an old friend of mine. It< s a Sunday afternoon I`m
scoping out the used CD`s at my favorite Renaissance Montréal store. I
stumble upon this soundtrack. It almost feels like a local compilation, most of
the bands come From Québec, some from Ontario, one from Malaysia
and another one from the USA. The music is a mix of punk and hardcore with some
exceptions. Roach does two spoken word pieces (about his life on the
street). We end this CD with `Locos – sous la pluie on entend pas les gens
pleurer` a beautiful instrumental track with acoustic guitar. Great ending.
Local legends American Devices and Ripcordz are included http://www.spit.ca/
