Battered Wives were a first punk band from Toronto.

Program Title: Interview with the Battered Wives
Description: We interview Toby Swann, John Gibb, Japser, and Cleave Anderson about what it was like to be in the Battered Wives back in 1977. There were a lot of firsts that could be credited to this band that often get overshadowed by their name. Have a listen and find out about their areas of breakthrough in the underground arts and culture scene. Hear how they upstaged Elvis Costello, outed Idi Amin, trailblazed a tour across Canada for punk bands to follow, and a host of other interesting bits.

Host(s): Stephen Perry
Featured Speakers/Guests: Toby Swann, John Gibb, Japser, and Cleave Anderson
