283 - Teenage Head w/ Steve Mahon and Douglas Arrwosmith

The Sex Pistols. Ramones. The Clash. Black Flag. If you grew up in the 70s and were of a rebellious nature, chances are you listened to these pioneering punk bands. The Ramones invented modern American punk music while the Clash and Sex Pistols took care of matters across the pond.  But Canada also had its punk pioneers. Teenage Head. Born out of Hamilton, Ontario, this group of rebellious ragtags met playing baseball in the Hammer. 40+ years later Gord Lewis, Steve Mahon, the late Frankie Venom, and Dave Rave Desroches are still remembered for their riot-causing performance at Ontario Place. Steve, Gord and Rave also appear in a new documentary by filmmaker Doug Arrowsmith. Picture Your Face: The Story of Teenage Head was released on November 2nd. Steve and Doug joined me to talk about the film.
