  • The Punk Effect: Art School Bands, Artist Collectives, and the Makings of an Alternative Culture in Downtown Toronto 1976-1978
    The Punk Effect: Art School Bands, Artist Collectives, and the Makings of an Alternative Culture in Downtown Toronto 1976-1978 By Jakub Marshall A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree Master of Arts (MA) in Music and Culture Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2019 Jakub Marshall 2 Abstract This thesis aims to examine the intersections of music, art and politics in late 1970s Toronto, particularly among the artists and musicians of the nascent Queen Street West scene. My research has two intertwined goals. First, to investigate the effect that the nearby Ontario College of Art had on this scene and how local art students’ formal training may have impacted their music. Secondly, the symbiotic connection between established artists and the local punk scene will be explored, through a discussion of how artist collectives General Idea and the Centre for Experimental Arts and Communication appropriated punk aesthetics and enlisted punk groups in order to further their own artistic ends. To address these questions, pertinent theoretical models are applied, including; Birmingham School subcultural theory, theories of the avant-garde, and sociological high culture/mass culture debates. Acknowledgments I would like to thank first, William Echard, my thesis supervisor for the duration of this project, and the Faculty of Music at Carleton University for supporting this work. Special thanks go to Philip Monk and Ian Mackay for their eager willingness to be interviewed, and for their illuminating suggestions of new research avenues. I would like to thank my parents for their unconditional support of me and my strange interests and investments.

    Music Review: D.O.A. Smash The State: The Raw Original D.O.A. 197... http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/09/22/110821.php Blogcritics is an online magazine, a community of writers and readers from around the globe. Publisher: Eric Olsen REVIEW Music Review: D.O.A. Smash The State: The Raw Original D.O.A. 1978-81 DVD Written by Richard Marcus Published September 22, 2007 It's pretty hard to believe that it's been a little more than 30 years since the Sex Pistols released Never Mind The Bollocks their first and last studio album. In spite of bands like the Ramones, The New York Dolls, and others playing a similar type of high energy rock and roll, it was the Pistols who garnered all the publicity and became the face of Punk Rock for the media and everybody else. England of the mid to late 1970s was in a horrible state with unemployment running rampant among the young. Facing the prospect of a life of poverty and a series of dead end jobs until death, is it any wonder that they were more then a little bit angry and very nihilistic? When Johnny Rotten was singing "no future" the majority of the audience related to the statement personally. If you went to see the Pistols live, you didn't expect to hear many of the lyrics, but the music was another story. It was loud, abrasive, aggressive, and best of all angry, which not only summed up how the audience felt but gave them the means to express it as well by pogoing with wild abandon.
