You were just listening to the intro of “Scars and Stripes”, the latest single from Toronto-based punk outfit The Bare Minimum. I got to chat with Cam Gray, who sings and plays guitar for the band, about the new single, as well as how The Bare Minimum truly embrace the DIY nature of the roots of punk rock, from recording their own stuff, to making their own videos. We also learn about the band’s love/hate relationship with the Dufferin Mall or Duff Muff, as Torontonians affectionally nicknamed it, which explains the interesting backdrop for some of the official band photos (spoiler, they were taking in a Walmart).
