In this episode, Ray sits down with Bert, frontman of On My Side — a punk band out of Edmonton, Alberta, whose sound channels the raw energy of The Sex Pistols, The Clash, and the entire UK punk movement.

But this isn’t just a story about loud guitars and gritty vocals. Bert brings a sharp, intellectual lens to songwriting, weaving poetry and meaning into every verse. He talks about the evolution of On My Side, their place in Canada’s punk scene, and how he balances artistic integrity with the ever-demanding world of social media promotion.

From the basement to the stage, from lyrics to legacy — this is a conversation for anyone who believes that punk is more than just a sound. It’s a statement.
