The current Toronto hardcore scene is marked by several bands that draw on the early 1980’s California sound. Brutal Knights have been together since 2001 and include Nick Flanagan (vocals) from Teen Crud Combo and Jon Sharron (guitar) from Hacksaw. Flanagan is also a stand up comedian and he brings a lot of his absurdist to infantile humor to Brutal Knights. Combining silly lyrics with nasty vocals, stinging guitars, and pounding to melodic rhythms makes for some thoroughly entertaining live mashups. ToBeScene recorded the band live at the Silver Dollar in April 2006 when, in addition to Flanagan and Sharron, their line up was Katie Whittaker on guitar, John Power on drums and Daniella Costanzo on bass (who later left the band).
