Experiment in Terror was an Ottawa band from 2001-2005 or thereabouts. Most people outside of Ottawa have never heard of them and I am not even sure they ever played a show outside of Ottawa. But I went to pretty much every Ottawa show they played until I moved to Montreal in 2004 right before they broke up. EIT was Ottawa's politically aware punk/thrash/core band formed by members of Course Of Action (Ottawa's best thrash band of ages past), Buried Inside, Fuck The Facts, Sleeping Pilot... basically every good Ottawa band. One and a half minute songs with a speech between each song so you knew what the songs were about (much to the dismay of Ottawa's drunx punx scene of the early 2000s).

Between me and my high school friends, EIT was our favourite local band to see. You could get us to show up at almost any ridiculous or far away venue if they were playing (that pita place in orleans?? a birthday party on argyle where everyone was 10 years older than us?). And pretty much my entire after school existence consisted of going to shows at Club SAW. So this photo is basically a time capsule from my life 2000-2004: seeing Experiment in Terror at Club SAW (probably 2003?). Pretty much every recognizable face in that photo is one of my high school friends, one of the kids in the grade below us who we dragged to shows, someone I was in a band with or someone I knew from Ottawa shows at the time.

This is the EP most people have (there was also a DIY cd put out right before their last show), "Who Will Survive And What Will Be Left Of Them?" that they put out in 2001 or 2002. It is without a doubt I think my favourite release by a 'local' band and I still listen to it regularly.

You can still buy the cd for 5$ if you look for it in random Ottawa based distros, record stores or infoshops.
