Here's the fifth and final volume of Og Music's It Came From Canada compilation series.

Bureaucrat From Hell - The Desmonds

The Desmonds, who came together in Ottawa in 1984, were comprised of former members of The Swinging Seven and The Wiggling Pulled Out Mosquito Legs; Wax Bombastic (vocals), Del Tremenz and Curly Leads (guitars), Beef Bourguignon (drums) and Mike Shy (bass). "Bureaucrat From Hell" is a fairly straightforward punk rawk rant about the sort of person you don't want to run into when you're renewing your drivers' license.

You're Too Much - The Vindicators

Calgary's The Vindicators also made an appearance on the Og compilation Mister Garager's Neighbourhood. Like their song on that LP, "You're Too Much" is a tasty slice of '60s-style r&b-influenced garage rock.

Long Dark Train - The Ripcordz

It looks like Montreal's The Ripcordz are still around in some form. At the time "Long Dark Train" - a crunchy rocker that's equal parts '77 punk and '66 trash - was recorded they were Paul Gott (vocals, guitar), Ian Swinson (bass) and Ewan MacDonald (drums).

If You Could Read My Mind - The Supreme Bagg Team

The Supreme Bagg Team hailed from Toronto, where they claimed to be the city's best "Vegas-garage band," a mix of frat, trash and lounge rock by Mike Sayk (vocals), Dave Dysart and Shawn Crockard (guitars), Claude Barnes (drums) and Jim McDowell (bass). "If You Could Read My Mind" is, of course, a punkified take on the Gordon Lightfoot classic, which to many Canadians has taken on the status of Holy Writ.

That Tune - Captain Crunch & Let's Do Lunch

Another Montreal band, Captain Crunch & Let's Do Lunch were more folk/psych-influenced than most Og bands, although they could and did kick it up a gear when they wanted to. "That Tune," by Pat Hineson (vocals, guitar), Celine Fleurquin (vocals, bass) and George Agetees (drums), is a gorgeous, folky number with a bit of hard rock guitar soloing.
