Gutter Punk / Hardcore
Belleville, Ontario, Canada

“The Persecuted, which was named after his magazine. This band was a Christian gutter punk/ska/metal that gained a fair amount of local recognition by playing at venues ranging from retreats at the Belleville Ramada Inn, to back wood stages at Marmora’s Punkfest. Following the release of the band’s first and only album, released on Country Road Records in 1998, the band broke up and the members went their separate ways.”
