A few years ago, I came upon a reference to this "Discography of Canadian Punk" over the Internet. The book reportedly came with three vinyl discs inside.
Call it a Canadian Killed By Death.
(In fact, some of these songs are even found on various volumes of the KBD series.)
Surprisingly, there isn't much information on this book. And I don't know
more, other than the records consisted of 7"s from a bunch of bands, some of whom would attain semi-legendary status in the pantheon of Punk Rock in Canada (Viletones, Forgotten Rebels) whereas other would be relegated to the dustbin of history (Arson, Fits, etc.). Apparently, there were 2 compilation LPs and a compilation 7" all released in 1994.
There's a third disc, that's reported as having been released in 1999.
Allow me to present to you the three volumes within.

Wow Thanks for uploading these compilations. Also, your blog is great!
Thanks, Anonymous. I appreciate your comment.
I've been busy lately, so I haven't been able to post as much stuff as I'd like.
But the weekend's coming up, so......
Cheers!
Hi-
Just came across your blog. Looks like some great stuff! Can't wait to check out some of those comps! Just to give you a little more info on the Smash the State book...the three compilation LPs were released completely separately from the book. The book came with a four song compilation 7"ep with Rock n' Roll Bitches, Fits and two others. The book is a great resource for collectors and my only tiny, minor complaint would be if they gave a description of the music. It's always nice to know if you're taking a chance on a record you find to know up front if it's referred to as Punk, bad rock disguised as punk, or whatever the case may be. I have two fo the three comps on vinyl, but would love the 1st one. These really need to be reissued!
Thanks
Jason
Great comps! As Jason pointed out, these came out much later than the book, which included only a four song 7" EP. A couple quick clarifications: The "Wild" Fits listed here were just called"The Fits", while Wasted Lives and Big Black Puppets were two different bands that slit a 45-- the comp includes one song by each.
Hi,
Great Blog, thanks very much.
Just one thing though, On 'Smash The State Vol 3 - you have the track 'Bank' listed twice by two different artists, and The Allies track 'Night in the City' is missing.
Cheers,
Paul
