POSTPONEMENT UPDATE: It’s no surprise but we have to postpone the 10th anniversary of the Pouzza Fest until May 21-23 2021. We tried our best to hold on as long as we could while we hoped for a miracle, but it’s become clear that this is the right decision to make. This was supposed to […]

Parkjam Day 3 was a completely different animal. It was harder, louder, and so much punkier. The main stage lineup included headliner multi-award winner, The Offspring, one of my all-time favourites MxPx, ska-punk band Reel Big Fish, and Oakville punk band Seaway.

Sweatshop Kids started off the showcase. The trio of Walsh, Turvey and Hover were loud, they were sweaty and they weren’t kids. Listing hardcore-dance-punk-nu-metal-knuckle-funk as their genre on their Facebook page, we going to go with that. The music was great, the singer super interesting and that haircut just kept making me smile. It’s weird but […]
