Hey, it's Alan, and I just wanted to let you know that you can now listen to the ongoing

history of new music early and ad-free on Amazon music, included with Prime.

Once upon a time, the headstones were the scariest band in Canadian music.

They scared audiences, they scared record companies.

Hell, they even scared themselves.

There were other words to describe them.

Intense, self-destructive, high energy.

But I think the word the group like the most was furious.

Your singer Hugh Dillon.

And our band's so unique and it's so unpredictable and so ferocious.

You get a high from playing

in it because when it's on it's like a you know I grew up playing hockey this is like a hockey team

when it's on it's like that it's uh Doug Gilmore and I lived on the same street we play one-on-one

on the swamp at the end of our street every f*** eight and I played like, our manager, Bernie was the goalie. Paul

Langwell was the right winger. I was always the defensemen. The cops were our coaches who'd leave

their guns in the dressing room in the mornings at the Harold Harvey Rink in Kingston. And this band

has that thing that is just when it's on the guns are blazing and what really to me is

fascinating is really how great they are as musicians like their songwriting capability yeah well

that doesn't even begin to tell the story of the headstones.

Strap in.

This is a good one.

It's the Headstones, in their own words, part one.
