i love alot of canadian punk out there today, but i gotta say, bands like the vapids, the diodes, doa, and pointed sticks are what really got me into homegrown canadian punk. check out this band, even at their age, they beat alot of other bands around.

pointed sticks are very excited about our first ever gig in texas!!!can't wait to play with so many cool bands from around the world.....the festival in nyc last year was killer,and this should be just as good.
p.s. we did release a new single last year,"my japanese fan"on sudden death records,and if all goes well,may have an album done by august.but don't worry,we're not going to play all new material,and anyways,it still sounds just like it always did...nj
