October 09, 2014 WR095: Terrorist
This week’s episode was recorded on-location in a ridiculously smoke-filled downtown apartment with the sometimes unemployed, sometimes homeless members of **[Terrorist](http://terroristmusic.bandcamp.com/)**. If you haven’t heard Terrorist, they’re a glorious “avant-garde powerviolence” (or grindcore or crust or “scourviolence” or whatever the latest show poster describes them as) trio with a[new digital EP](https://givepraiserecords.bandcamp.com/album/get-your-hand-out-of-there) and a [7” on the way](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GceIUaUcyGU&feature=youtu.be).

October 02, 2014 WR094: Royal Canoe
Coming off a 2014 Juno nomination for their critically-acclaimed _Today We’re Believers_ record and a jam-packed, festival-heavy summer of touring, Winnipeg’s **[Royal Canoe](http://www.royalcanoe.com/believers/)** are headed back out on the road before hunkering down and working on a follow-up.
The group’s rhythm section — our pals **Brendan Berg **and **Derek Allard** — stopped by the basement to reminisce about old times, share road stories, and get passionate about their hometown.

Steve performed live and helped us select songs based on the randomly-generated “Noose” theme.

Formerly operating under the name **[Mas Steve](http://witchpolice.blogspot.com/2012/04/mas-steve-nowhere-manitoba-2012.html)** , he was a [guest in the podcast's early days](http://www.witchpolice.com/2013/03/witchpolice-radio-episode-15-grass-dem.html) and made frequent appearances ([mostly](http://witchpolice.blogspot.ca/2012/04/mas-steve-live-at-pop-sodas-2012.html) [live](http://www.witchpolice.com/2013/02/mas-steve-live-at-orange-house-2013.html) [recordings](http://witchpolice.blogspot.com/2012/08/mas-steve-live-in-witchpolice-garage.html)) on Witchpolice in its earlier incarnation.

New York ska/reggae/soul legends [**Th** **e Slackers**](http://theslackers.com/) are coming to Winnipeg for the first time in over a decade, so we had a conversation with sax player **[Dave Hillyard](https://www.facebook.com/pages/David-Hillyard-Saxophonist-Official-Page/138945632787315)**!

Things get spooooky this week with the mighty **[Mobina Galore](http://mobinagalore.com/) ** and the randomly-generated "ghost" theme!
