Choke

Emerging amid Canada's mid-'90s punk circuit, Choke ranks among that scene's most raucous bands. Jack Jaggard, Clay Shea, Stefan Levasseur, and Shawn Moncrieff make up the lineup, which has shared extensive bills with punk forerunners No Use for a Name and Bad Religion. Three prior albums paved the way for the band's fourth outing, Needless to Say, which Smallman Records issued in summer 1999.
