TRACK LISTINGS and notes on RENT!!

1. Bad Fate
"This Olympic City"
badfate.bandcamp.com/track/this-olympic-city

2. Margy Pepper
"Mutual Kool Aid"
margypepper.bandcamp.com/track/mutual-kool-aid

"There is a struggle between our desires to create homes out of houses, and the instability of renting to a landlord - - the threat of eviction or raised rent is very present and often discourages us from creating the centres of warmth and comfort that we need to survive in this world."

3. Collapsing Opposites
"Gentrification Now Begins" unreleased
collapsingopposites.bandcamp.com

"Will there by any venues left by the time this tape is released? Will there be any houses? How can a band avoid being a "First wave gentrifier?" in such an unaffordable and rapidly changing city? How can we be responsible citizens?

Gentrification! Gentrification now begins!
People aware of their role as gentrifiers! "

4. True Crush
"Bad bugs"
truecrush.bandcamp.com/track/bed-bugs

"One time, Marita moved into a bedbug infested house with a bunch of our friends and Celina was supposed to but didn't. They lived there for three months: it was the worst of times, and it was the worst of times. It's hard enough living iwth an infestation in your home because it affects every aspect of your life, and fighting against an evil landlord is extremely challenging and disheartening. The RTB does not protect people who are marginalized and lack the money, time or resources to deal with the bureaucratic process. This song is about going crazy from bedbugs but ultimately overcoming it and becoming champions."

RTB =residential tenancy branch

5. Jeremy Todd
"What'll we do if they sell the building?"
jeremytodd.bandcamp.com/track/whatll-we-do-if-they-sell-the-building

"My one sentence relating to rent > Property is Theft"

6. Family Video
"A view from the harbour" unreleased
familyvideo.bandcamp.com

"When I look at my dad's old photos, i can't believe what they want to do now. And you won't know what to say to your kids, why do they ruin such beautiful things? They want to ruin my favourite view, my favourite place where I go and dream. They want to put a fence around my heart, but me and my friends are gonna tear it down."
