U.T.I. are my favourite band to play with around here... Their sound is totally unique thanks to Leah's vocals, Magnus' fucking awesome guitar riffs that make me wonder how the hell you even think to write songs like these, and how tight the band is in general. 

Their new drummer is freshly plucked out of the charred remains of Bad Skin, who unfortunately just broke up (or imploded) as a band for good as far as I can tell. I hate to see local bands go, especially when it's a local band who put on house shows in Toronto fairly regularly. But who am I to say "local" anymore anyway, I live in Kingston for the forseeable future.

Anyway, not only do I love playing with U.T.I., but I think I like listening to them as a band even more. Before we even started playing so many shows with them, we wore out an earlier recording of this same demo. I guess if I had to pick a favourite track out of these, I would choose Limp Generation. 

"Cause you can't/you can't/you can't get it up./You don't/you don't/you don't know how to fuck."

Not that I wasn't before, but being affiliated with U.T.I. makes me feel pretty siked about being a woman in hardcore.

Oh right, and come to the show on Saturday, if you read this in time and happen to be from Toronto. Leah is fucking demonic on stage. And I have to make up for last weekend.
