: Punk History Canada Articles : : The Scenes :

From the smallest berg in Canada to the largest city, the punks, skins and alternatives were creating their own communities in a "us against them" attitude. Communities that helped foster bands and artists alike to express their opinions and views contrary to the mainstream.

Despite the fact that at times there was some animosity between the factions, on the whole when it mattered most these communities came together to share their ideas, boyfriends, girlfriends but not their beer, drugs or their leather jackets.

The Scenes is about the places, the hangouts, the houses, and the groups that converged.
