Hard Core Logo was one of Canada’s most notorious and influential punk bands - until they fell apart on the night of their career-making deal. Years later, during the mid-90s punk revival, lead singer Joe Dick - living somewhere between East Hastings and a dream - decides it’s time to unite the band for a last-gasp reunion tour across Western Canada. It’s the story we know, the book we love, the movie that affected us all. Now, for the first time, we’re taken on a theatrical journey into the world of Vancouver punk rock in the stage adaptation of the Canadian cult classic.

Cover article of the Georgia Straight

Article in "inspired" magazine, put out by the Banff Centre for the Arts

“…drop whatever you’re doing right now and get tickets to see Hard Core Logo: Live."
-The Edmontonian

"a raucous stage show … an ear-shattering dynamic in the three-chord
punk rock score"
-Edmonton Sun

"Although staging a punk rock show for a seated theatre audience may run contrary to the notion of punk, Hard Core Logo: LIVE breaks through its restraints and is just as rocking as the real thing."
