The Planet Smashers Part 1

The Planet Smashers Part 1

2023-06-1001:48:47

Welcome back! thank you for tuning in as we dive into one of ted and brians favourites the Planet smashers! Part of the 3rd wave ska movement of the mid-late 90s the planet smashers were leaps and bounds above all the canadian ska, and while they toured with bands like Big D and the Kids Table, Mustard Plug and countless others they never had matching success as some of their contemporaries south of the boarder. However they were a mainstay and beloved here. Please like, share, subsciribe! leave us a nice review wherever you get youur podcasts and follow us on Instagram@canadafm!

As we slide into Labour Day weekend people think summer is over but we have at least a month left so let's enjoy it! Ted and Brian each pick 3 songs that they feel would add to the vibe of a summer playlist.   For anyone who isnt a fan of our rambling turn it off with 30 minutes left. We get into signs, fantasy sports, king of queens our old man health and the list goes on!   Please Like, adda review on apple podcasts, share with friends!
This is actually the second we recorded but Brian got lazy and edited things out of order.  Sky was formed by James Renald and Antone Sicotte in Montreal.  Bonding  over 70s funk and various other genresthey quickly signed a deal and released Piece of Paradise with such hits as Love song and some kind of wonderful. For various reasons James Renald left and two other encarnations of sky formed but nothing compared to that first one. Please share with your pals and head to Apple and leave us a 5 star review!
Only Ted and Brian could extend an episode where only one of 2 albums is available and stretch it into two hours. Today we talk about the all girl pop punk/ alt rock group from Vancouver. Liveonrelease formed and were taken under the wing of Bif Naked. The boys go on a few tangents from football, tattoos youth sports and female athletics.

We're back! Brian took the away on summer vacation sign off his computer and did some editing! We're happy to release this episode. The Vancouver hip hop group had success with their song Northern touch that sparked a Junos controversy  but that recognized hip hop as one of the mainstream genres. If you don't like our pre amble, skip ahead to around 20-25 minutes. Brian rants about terrible service and some issues he has with the Arkells.

Welcome again and thank you for tuning into another episode of canada fm! we had fun with this ep as one of canadas hardest rocking ladies is the focus for the next 2 hours and change. We went a little long and tangent happy but it was a fun one. We hilight her early beginnings to her health  later in her career. *Editors note, no music from her final album the promis was available but its available on youtube and should get checked out. As always leave a 5 star review on apple please! share  it if you dig it and follow us on IG @canadafm
We don't know why they're called shortstack sessions because no one can spin a yarn like Teddy and Brian. But this week we cover one of Canada's pop punk bands Not by choice.  Formed in Ajax, friends of the popular band Sum 41 yet they never took off. In this episode we dig into the 2 albums and have some fun. So get your wrist band, spiked belt, whatever skateboard merch you bought at West 49 and lets go in the wayback machine to the early 2000s! Please share with your friends, and subscribe to IG @canadafm
We pick up where we left off, talking about the fantastic fellas from Newfoundland Great Big Sea. We cover from Something Beautiful, The Hard and the Easy, Fortunes Favor and safe upon the Shore.  We start with a little banter about Dr Strange so if youre not a fan of the preamble g'ahead and skip to about 11 mins. Please share and subscribe to canadafm on IG for some great content!
Happy Long Weekend! Nothing  says start of summer like the may 24, cottages, BBQ's parties and Nothing says a party like Great Big Sea! Their blend of east coast traditionals and pop sensibilities made them one of the most popular Canadian acts from the 90s through to the end of their run. Their lovable personalities and high energy live shows  made them fan favorites... But why didn't they break more Outside of Canada? Well dive down the rabbit hole starting in part one we go from their self titled album to the sea of no cares. The boys tried something new they recored outside so if you hear birds or dogs dont adjust your headphones. Also as you know the boys love their preamble so if you wanna jump into great big sea skip to 18-20 minutes.   Please follow the instagram @canadafm, please share, tell a friend!
*Disclaimer this most recent one is a re upload had to fix a wrong song. if youve already enjoyed it it wont be different otherwise its brand new! After the a lengthy hiatus and some tech issues the boys return to zoom to officially close the books on season two and get ready for season 3. What better way to send off a great season than with a great playlist of jams that represent their favorite tunes by the stellar artists of season two! Please share, rate and review! Enjoy!
Sorry For the delay, holidays etc. We appreciate you! Here we wrap up part two on the seminol rap group from Vancouver. We cover 2006's black magic to their most recent album brand new day. We get into some tangent topics like what do we think of the juggalos? and the state of SNL.
