The Heatskores

1998 - 2007

About Me

One of Canada's longest running Ska-Core/Ska-Punk/Punk-Ska (whatever ya feel like labeling it) bands, we've been tearing apart stages since 1998. Mixing hard thrashy Punk rock; an occasional ska influence; a blood, sweat and beer fueled, high-energy live show; and a strong DIY/independent method to our madness.
We've released 4 albums, 3 of them ourselves, and the most recent "Smile... Tomorrow Will be Worse" through Niagara Falls' Pink Skull Records, which is now available across Canada through Sonic Unyon Distro.
We have toured to the east coast of Canada 3 times and once from Quebec to BC. We've played close to (if not over) 400 shows ranging from small 20 person shows to huge sold out crowds, like our 300+ over capacity 5 year anniversary show. Some of the more well known bands we've shared the stage with over the years are Leftover Crack, Dwarves, Gadjits, Against All Authority, Slackers, BigWig, Casualites, The Forgotten, Planet Smashers, Dayglo Abortions, King Django, DOA, The Independents and The Forgotten Rebels to name a few.
We are a bunch of cynical, sarcastic bastards who do everything ourselves, from our merch printing, to recording. We have no misguided dreams of fame, fortune, or power... As long as there is a place to play, power for our equipment, and kids that wanna party... well be there.

My dreams were filled with crackheads, broken windows, poutine and Joel Browns.  The truth of the matter was that I wasn't used to sleeping in the van just yet.  After spending so much ...

Waking up in the stinky van in the midst of Jimmy Rye's deadly foot smell, and Davey's snoring was getting to be a regular thing.  Even Buddy was learning to snore like the rest of us it sounded...

The Friday before the battle with the Klopeks we had a show at the dungeon in Oshawa.  Playing at the Dungeon automatically means we had to bring the scum of the earth Beau Bomberry with us, wh...
