here's one from my hometown, london, on., canada. outside of this area of the country, it is doubtful that anybody's really heard of this project, but they made a big impact locally back in 96 when this album dropped, first independently, then later being reissued by mca/universal music. it's on the rock/rap tip, and listening to it now, a decade later, i actually think these guys were ahead of their time. there is a video for "face the pain," that got some decent rotation on muchmusic, but that's about it if i remember. i'm not sure exactly what happened to these cats after this album. i do remember they had to change their name, as they found out there was already a band using the name "genocide." shortly after, the band broke up. the guitarist, doug, went on to join bif naked's band, and as far as i know he's still playing with them. the dj, jason bunsie, aka dj capital j, is now pretty big on the jungle/drum 'n bass scene (he's also a former flatmate of mine, and was the dj for my first high school rap group, "the stone groove trio"). i still see mike bunsie kicking around in london. he's making beats and still recording. i'm trying to get him in the studio to rock a song with me for our new album. we'll see if that happens or not. anyway, enjoy...

Any info on where I can hear genocide/face the pain let me know. forestjr@hotmail.com Loved the tracks and enjoyed talking to sage while getting pierced and lead singer that I run into on the street in london. Peace guys!
Great article! I had so much fun playing with those guys. We tasted a little bit of success but unfortunately disbanded after getting jerked around by our label Universal Canada.
