The Trans-Canada Beaver Cookoff supplies a very strong selection of independent Canadian rock’n’roll. The Catch and Release compilation features the thundering surf rock of the Rambling Ambassadors (featuring Huevos Rancheros guitarist Brent Cooper), the rumbling soul fury of Shikasta, the voluminous, abrasive rock of Bionic, the deranged psychobilly of Forbidden Dimension, and the unhinged garage rock of the Nasty On and the Donkeys. Featuring a handful of songs from each of the aforementioned artists, The Trans-Canada Beaver Cookoff delivers a number of incendiary moments.
