Winsdsor ON, Canada - '97?-99?
Alright this band has a metal punk sound like mid-later career Exploited. All I know is that I used to have 2 cds by them, nobody's ever heard of them and I forgot everything the booklets said except something about a member being in Exloited and a bunch of other bands in the uk and canada. So i will give you the info from this page (Windsor DIY Archives):
"This isn’t exactly a reoccurring story in the Windsor music scene. After playing bass on ‘Beat the Bastards’, the 1996 release by legendary Scottish punk band the Exploited, Jim Gray somehow made his way to our backyard in Leamington Ontario. There, Tension was formed with Lager Lads drummer Rob and this debut CD was soon to follow. Fast paced, unrelenting metallic hardcore punk that isn’t a far cry from Jim’s past projects. A follow up CD and European tours came thereafter, but the boys called it a day after a few short years.
Related: the Lager Lads, Combat 84, Filth, UK Subs, the Exploited.
Here's what i put in the youtube description. I am too lazy to edit this all together right now:
96?-99? Windsor, Onatario, Canada.

This is their best of ("Worst Of"), on Worst records, which I believe was french zine & label that put out international streetpunk bands best(worst)-ofs, and if i remember right, a punks and skins photobook...
Tension had 2 albums (cds?) - "We Hate... Destroy" '97 & "War Cry" '99 - I did't include the artwork from the 2nd one in the video because its even fucking worse than the 1st one's. (see here: http://www.spirit-of-rock.com/les%20goupes/T/Tension/War%20Cry/War%20Cry.jpg). They were on a Worst compilation called "First Punk Rock Shot!". And there's and ex-Exploited guy in the band. That's all I know about em, other than nobody i know has ever heard of them and they almost don't exist on the internet.
I will ost the track listing another time when I'm not so lazy.
