Reynolds Rocks! :: Music from students from Reynolds Secondary High School Victoria BC 1980-84

Featured Downloads:

Note: Many of the featured bands have no connection to Reynolds High School.

One thing I've notice about old cassettes is they don't sound as good after 20 years. Before these recordings get any worse I wanted to get them into a digital format and share them out. PLEASE NOTE: These downloads will only be available for a limited time.

The Folksman (aka The Take Fours) - CFUV

A tribute to the fine radio station CFUV. It sounds like an old Victoria number...not exactly the same...just a bit reminiscent of some old Victora folklore. Take a listen.

Sorry the first few seconds are chopped off. If you've got a better copy of this track I'd like to hear it :-)

Infamous Scientists - Reunion Gig [Sept 25 1985]

Someone...somewhere...must still have the master tapes of this show. Unfortunately, that someone is not me. What I do have is this recording taken off of CFUV 102FM when DJ Rick Andrews played it over the air. It ain't much but hey, it's free and captures the moment.

Here is the track list:

01 - CFUV DJ Rick Andrews intro
02 - CKDA (ending)
03 - Missing Hearts
04 - Somebody's Mom (Pointed Sticks cover)
05 - Canada's Pissed - Trouble - Can't Get the Sounds
06 - Harmony in my Head (Buzzcocks cover) - Nazi Training Camp (DOA cover)
07 - Race Riot (DOA cover)
08 - Hate Wars
09 - Wearing Someone Elses Shoes
10 - Won't Look Back (cover?)- Noise'n'Rhythm
11 - Mystery Dance (Elvis Costello cover)
12 - Nation to Nation

va - Random Thought - A Victoria Sampler Vol.1 [1986]

Two 60 Minute cassettes, 17 bands (I think), 36 songs and one gigantor headache. O.K. I'm sich of these tapes -- now it's your turn!

"RANDOM THOUGHT" is intended as a haphazard incomplete overview of the Victoria scene (man) to date (with infinite apologies to everyone who got left out). The alleged focus here ison those songs that never made it to vinyl -- but yes Virginia, they do make records in Victoria. If you have no idea where this Victoria place is, look in the atlas under "London-bus infested tourist trap", or "Home of imperialist running-dog facist-type governments."

Have a nice day! -- ZHM, June 2, 1986.
