Afternoon, loyal readers. It's Friday, sweetdisaster Big Cheese's one day off per week, so I'm heading out to get some stuff done, but some sad news to relay first: one of Ottawa's best and favourite bands, The Transit, has called it a day. Man, what is with the parade of breakups lately? The Transit were a spinoff from the late hardcore legends Miles Between Us(three-fourths of the band played in MBU) and toured Canada and the United States on the strength of two full-length albums and an old split with The Vanishing Red(2001). Punk rock never sounded quite like this. They'll be missed.
