Tor Johnson Records has been an integral part of the Providence, RI, and greater New England music scene for over ten years. In May of 2012, a number of past and current bands from the label’s roster came together to celebrate the label’s ten year anniversary. Seeing nearly all of these bands in their primes was a touchstone to life in my early twenties. It was great to see them all come together for a night of music. This DVD does an excellent job of capturing and preserving a show celebrating one of the shining lights of local DIY music and culture. The DVD features highlights of each band’s set, including some of my favorite songs by each band: Saint Jude’s “Extinction Won’t Be So Bad,” Another Dead Juliet’s “Search for the Snow Leopard,” and Weak Teeth’s “Repetition Implies Importance, Implies Importance.” Some of the footage is a bit grainy, particularly the Another Dead Juliet track I mentioned, but the audio quality is great for a live recording, and the footage does a good job of capturing the essence of seeing each band live. This DVD is great not only as a capstone to a decade of amazing music, but it also shows that the future of Tor Johnson Records looks bright. Here’s to the next ten years! –Paul J.
