It’s approaching the end of March and things are getting even busier than ever! Luckily I have a special guest contributor, Gary Hostage, who’s willing to part his time for this month’s Heartattack. Apart from abusing his bass on Vague and also performing individually as Gary Hostage (not sure if this particular project is still on), he also dabbles in his own independent enterprise to organize shows and such. This time, he will be sharing to us few of his favorite Canadian bands. I do hope that you enjoy this mix as much as I do.

I feel excited when Jan asked me to contribute for his reputably heart attack program because it has been a while since I occupy myself with music compiling activities (making mixtape).
This mix focuses on “Cancon” (Canadian content) so here you have it! Several Canadian tunes, ranging from hardcore to polka which (hopefully) would please your hearing senses. Oh, in case you are wondering, I don’t put great and notable Canadian bands like Fucked Up, DOA, or Japandroids because they have enough exposure already. Courtesy of Gary Hostage; you are welcome.
