Punk Explosion/Extension, or Punk Ex for short, is the latest musical detour from the loins of Canadian avant-pop artist Renny Wilson. Recorded between 2007 and 2014, Punk Ex follows Renny's natural progression from the breakup of his high school garage punk band, the Subatomics, in 2007 to his present-day life in Montral. Originally available in an extremely limited, abridged cassette version-simply titled Punk Explosion-the album was a collection of Renny's more abrasive recordings from the past seven years. Adding a handful of previously unreleased songs recorded at his home studio in Park Ex, Montral, in late 2014, Punk Explosion/Extension sees the original recordings back and bulkier than ever. Calling back to snotty '70s punk, cornball classic rock, and scratchy '90s garage punk, the album makes more than subtle hints at the past while painting a clear picture of the future. From the lighter fare of "Youngsters" and "Clean" to the cheeky cock-rock of "Stiffed", or the guttural, cartoonish power-pop of "Escaping Alive", Punk Ex offers a variety of leather jacket-bound jams to choose from, as you would expect from an album made over so many years.
