Correction, band was from Nanaimo. Has anyone listened to the track on Bandcamp yet? Borderline Northwest Company intensity levels! The album looks to be supremely well done packaging wise with band permission, we'll see if the other tracks have the same energy. There's an instagram page for those who partake....
I know that guy! He used to book a club in Victoria during the punk era. He's not a garage collector per se but he's had plenty of experience in the music world over the years and it's probably fortunate that he was the one who found the acetate and knew that it was something important !
