Death Sentence were on the forefront of Vancouver punk's second wave during the mid eighties. Their sound, which crossed British punk and Metal with DOA-style hardcore, made them a popular live act not only in the Pacific Northwest, but across Canada. The band's two albums, Not A Pretty Sight and Stop Killing Me have sold an impressive 60,000 copies, even though they've never been re-issued on CD. To this day, they are still trying to retain the rights to their back catalog from the now bankrupt Fringe records. Death Sentence disbanded in 1991 but reformed last year with a new singer to replace Pete Cleaver, who died of a drug overdose in the mid-nineties.

Yeah, I saw that doco too, it was called Punk X. I'm sure it'll probably repeat (like everything on the CBC).

How are hard-core punk rockers of the early 1980's faring in the new millennium? Punk X, revisits three punk rockers who were at the core of Not Yet Dead, a visceral 1983 documentary that chronicled a year in the life of the Toronto punk scene.

Twenty years later, Steve, Bambi and Mike refuse to let go of their deep-rooted suspicions of society. In the past 10 years, Mike went from homeless to homeowner and continues to struggle with middle-class life. Bambi battles personal demons living in a Wasaga Beach motel room. Steve is the quintessential punk, still believing in the punk ideology and still performing in the seminal Toronto band Bunchofuckingoofs. Each of them has taken a different path, but all remain part of this much-maligned subculture.

Punk X reveals that living the punk lifestyle is not without contradiction. Steve, Bambi and Mike still call themselves punks, and each continues to challenge the system and question authority. Despite addiction, poverty and prejudice, they've survived - but not without bearing the scars of living by the punk ethos.

"In the eighties, Punk was viewed as a passing fad because it's easier to dismiss a subculture than understand it," says filmmaker Edward Mowbray. "Punk X isn't nostalgic or sentimental. Punks continue to survive because Martha Stewart and Starbucks thrive. Punks are the antithesis of hippies. Thank God something is left to subvert the hearts and minds of youth."
