The Official Line
This CD was originally put out under “Ensonic Music Productions” in 1998. It features Ryan Oliver (Dogbus Music, defined by what we steal), Colin Crowley (Sunlit Ambush), Jeremiah Stewart (Sunlit Ambush) and Hewan Woolley. When Dogbus Music was created in 2000, we took control of the records under Ensonic Music Production. EPM was the crowning jewel. In the day of The Fheds, Fat Chance and Kind there was Ensonic. On October 2nd 1998 they put out EPM, an alternative rock record that gives you a pretty good idea where the future members of Sunlit Ambush and defined by what we steal were when they were 15, 16 and 17 years old.

This album is fun and deserves to be heard by anyone who is interested in the history of the local music scene. It’s family friendly, hard-rocking and it was recorded the day after a really bitchin’ party.

Feb 23 2011-This was my first band and I remember having a blast doing this. We used to infuse this band into every facet of our lives and even played some decent shows too.
We had a penchant for soup and pornography and also worked in pro wrestling episodes whenever possible.
I’ll never forget the first show I ever played with Ensonic at a public school for a United Way cause and sitting there and being super nervous and hoping that all my basic gear would work. I forgot to turn on my distortion volume and the song started with that. My first chord ever was a silenced mistake.
I also remember winning a battle of the bands and two fellow students being super mad. I can’t remember their name because I was in Ensonic and they weren’t.
I think one had a crush on me. (And rightfully so. I was in Ensonic!)
I also remember playing with Klip Squad. And they were super drunk another time and very funny as well.
I guess that was a great way to start in the band scene.
Anyways, happy to see Ryan putting the time in for this cause and I look forward to hearing some of the other forgotten bands of CKL as well.”

The Official Line
There was no “official line” for this EP. We originally intended for it to be a 3-song demo so that we could score some gigs. however, the recording process went so quickly, we decided that the short 7 tracks would make an EP. We did try to market ourselves as a “Surf Band” and the EP was dressed to match that idea.

Some of these tracks came from older projects where Chris and Daniel had been collaborating with Ryan Moore (Deadwood Blue, Jacob & The Ruff-Riders, The Chris Farr Band). These were re-purposed for Flying Ali Baba as the foundation of our first sets. That is, we played these old songs until we wrote new ones. The only original material for this release was Chris’s wrestling anthem, The DDT. It quickly became the opening song for all our sets. Most of the other Flying Ali Baba & The Radical New Waves songs have since been recorded on the 2008 release, The Chris Farr Band, which can be downloaded for free at mp3.com or purchased at Pacifiction Records . The Chris Farr has made residence in Tokyo under the moniker of Android Beach Party.

Flying Ali Baba & The Radical New Waves disbanded at the end of 2003 because the members had moved away to different towns. Chris now writes and performs his own surf-guitar music, and Daniel has been recording and travelling with Thurston Moore’s favourite Canadian noise band, the Hamilton based Fossils
Daniel is also one of the founding partners in the vinyl-only noise record label, Cardinal Records

The Official Line

This CD was released as a single for the song “Suburban White Dream” from The Bliss EP. In it’s original release it was a four song EP with songs written after the release of The Bliss EP. The song “Man In My Room” is a regular fixture in any Logans Band set. The final song on the record “The Way Of The Mog” was written and released on Outloud 1: The Music of the City of the Kawartha Lakes. It shows a very different direction for The Logans Band, moving to a full band sound and completely instrumental score. Ryan has modified the song to open sets with as he rarely plays with a full band. “Olivia’s Requiem” was written based on characters from a film entitled Wall of Fire. The film has never been produced, but the characters and the story ring strongly in work the two do even to this day.

It should be noted that a second release of Suburban White Dream EP was put out in the summer of 2002. For a show at the Electric Tomato in Lindsay, we pressed different versions of the CD containing a spoken word piece and another full band song called “Wanna Live.” There are only about 5 copies of this version in existence.

January 20, 2011 - I’m still not sure how you can have a “single” for an album that was only six songs long, and have the single also contain six songs. I think I was probably just looking for a way to release new tracks, but still focus on the song that I believed to be the strongest, “Suburban White Dream”. I’ve always worn my influences heavily on my sleeve and this album was really the beginning of “defining myself by what I steal.” The song, “Man in My Room”, with all of its homoerotic undertones, was influenced heavily by “Fated” by Matthew Good. I initially did not do it on purpose; however, since I’ve written that song I’ve learned how to play “Fated” and come to realize that I was just playing “Fated” with new lyrics and a less exciting (but equally depressing) chorus. “The Way of the Mog” was my attempt at writing a Mogwai song. I didn’t even try to hide what I was doing with the title, although I was paying a hidden homage to my nerdy side by making a reference that could be assumed to be Final Fantasy related.

As is mentioned in the “official line”, above, “Olivia’s Requiem” was a song influenced by a film written by myself and a friend of mine. The film was nothing more than a script, but in an attempt to explore the characters, I wrote this song for the female lead. The last song, “Not the Same” was also a song written for a film - a poorly acted, poorly directly short film by the same name, influenced by the song by Ben Folds. Written as “background music” for a party scene, I recorded all of the parts myself with a drum machine. Keep in mind, the song was never meant to be heard outside of background music playing from a crappy stereo. I highly recommend putting it on softly in the background at your next party. You’ll feel just like you’re at a party in the early 2000′s.

The Official Line
The debut EP from The Vile is a punk-rockin’ blast straight into your underpants. Nine songs that bridge the gap between rift-tacular Rock N’ Roll and straight ahead, fast as fuck punk rock. The Vile features bRad Wreckless (Springloaded) on guitar/vocals, Rico (The Johnny Law) on bass/vocals, Jon Hembrio (defined by what we steal, MFR!) on lead guitar and Mad Chops (MFR!) on drums. Or you can call them Brad, Tony, Jon and Matt. Whatever floats your boat.

From the moment you turn this record on, you’re in for the musical boot fucking of a life time. The Vile are punk rock that pulls no punches. Vile Vile Vile is relentless from the get-go as they explore topics such as life, anger and dirty sluts (yeah!). This is music about real life. Enjoy her.

January 27, 2011 - The Vile was a short lived act that consisted of members from Lindsay punk stalwarts; The Johnny Law, Springloaded and M.F.R. We only had this one release and we disbanded/fell apart not long after its debut. I slightly recall recording this little gem. Most of us were hungover and my voice was shot from partying the night before. I remember getting everything ready to record and my Stratocaster stopped working, so I had to use a guitar that I wasn’t used to. We recorded it off the floor and got most of the songs done pretty quickly. My vocal tracks were really raspy and at the end of the EP there’s an outtake clip of me fuckin’ up my vocals on “Brain Dead 13”. The guys slipped that onto the finished version without telling me. They thought that was pretty funny. I have feelings too, you know. Anyway, we broke up after a short but chaotic run. We all have some pretty hilarious stories from being in The Vile, one which involves strippers, cocaine and the desecration of a priest’s grave. Seriously. – Brad Reckless

The Official Line
A compilation CD of the best the City Of The Kawartha Lakes had to offer in 2002. Originally known as the “Lindsay Music Project”, Outloud is what ended up putting Dogbus Music on the map. Since the release of this CD, Outloud has become a massive project for the Dogbus Community and every year we try to showcase what this city has to offer.

The first CD was put together in two months. By contacting all the local bands we knew we assembled some of the coolest music we could find. This CD features the first appearance of Jay Spectre, which broke him into the scene and brought him to where he is in 2004. It also featured an appearance by The Delicious Fakers who, within a matter of months would reform to create Sunlit Ambush.

The CD was launched with a big show in Lindsay and was followed by a summer unlike any we’ve seen in the local music scene. Unfortunately, this piece of history is completely sold out. The only way to find a copy is to check with the bands on the compilation. Every band got ten copies of the record when it was released and there is still a chance that someone has an extra one kicking around.

Lindsay Daily Post- April 20th 2002

From the Artist
January 27, 2011 - Dogbus was essentially created to put out this album. I created this compilation to bring together and provide a single image/representation of the Lindsay music scene at the time. I had just dropped out of film school as was desperate to find some directly in one form or another. Having played with Ensonic previously, I found that the scene was disjointed, everyone seeking attention individually and no one really working together. As a result, we had no venues for shows as there was no single representation; fan bases were just friend groups, as there was minimal exposure to other bands. I thought it appropriate to bring everyone together under one roof. You could say this was my attempt to unionize the Lindsay music scene. I never anticipated that it would blow up the way it did, but you’re reading this today because of the success of this one album.

Everyone pulled together to see this through. Each band contributed their own money to the overall costs and received copies of the CD in thanks. My mom actually designed the cover of this album, based on a picture of Tyler Trumbull that I had taken at an MFR! Show. We launched the CD at a show in Victoria Park in Lindsay, but the momentum really picked up after Rockapaloozafestockival 1.

Outloud 2 was a better album musically, and Outloud 3 was professionally produced… but Outloud 1 started it all. It exposed the people of the Kawartha Lakes to what was going on, and put all of these bands on the map. With the exception of the Delicious Fakers (who would become Sunlit Ambush) and Hooty McOwl (who never really existed and was just me, pretending to be a rapping owl), all of these bands would become staples of the music scene for the years to come. The other thing this album created, that I had hoped it would, was a bunch of “singles” for bands that were otherwise getting no radio play. Songs like “No One’s a Virgin” by the DGB, “Heaven Closed its Door” by Jay Spectre and “Good to Feel Down” by Looking for Heather became instant classics and concert favourites. If only we could have kept this going.
