After punk found commercial success in the ’90s, with bands like Green Day, the Offspring, and Blink-182, a new wave of punk bands emerged, each embodying the DIY spirit of the movement in their own way. While Southern California remained the spiritual home of punk rock in the early 2000s, an unexpected influx of eager punks from Canada took the world by storm, changing the genre forever.

This incredible period of music is explored by authors Matt Bobkin and Adam Feibel in their book In Too Deep: When Canadian Punks Took Over the World . Both authors are Toronto-based music journalists whose work has appeared in Exclaim!, Bandcamp, VICE, the National Post, and the Toronto Star. In Too Deep is their first book. I began our conversation by asking Adam and Matt what exactly is punk rock music?
