Hello everyone and welcome to Turned Out of Punk a sad one here we're going to be

celebrating the work of the late great Gord Lewis.

By now I'm sure most of you know,

Gord Lewis passed away under horrific, tragic circumstances.

And I think you know I speak for myself and my co-host as

always Chris O'Toole when I say that I think we're going to avoid getting into too much

of the actual what happened, horrible

criminality, case stuff, and just kind of talk about Gord in a tribute sense and talk about his music.

Yeah for sure. But Chris, you are a teenage head fan I know because we have talked about this

band many many times I think commonly referred to by people as sort of, you know, in short

form as being Canada's Ramones, but I think there's significance to Canadian music,

because we're going to talk about runs a little bit deeper even than maybe the Ramones do but anyway that

that is debatable and we'll get into that in a second I don't mean I mean to Canada and

Canadian music but we'll get in that in a second When was your first exposure to teenage head, Chris?

Ooh, that's a good, I hadn't, you know what, it's funny, you've been leading into this, I hadn't thought about that.

The early, so the area I'm from as you've known there's a there was a group called

Sick Boys who were primarily active in I don't know if they actually started in the late

80s or it was just early 90s but either way

They were the pervasive local punk band in my youth

And I subsequently have come to know them.

But anyway, the singer of that group modeled his sort of,

not persona is the wrong word, but you know the kind of general vibe off of Frankie
