Rock Against Radiation button; Toronto punk show, Nathan Philips Square 1980

Thanks to reader Dean (formerly guitarist of Toronto punk band Body Bag) for sending in photos of the Rock Against Radiation button from the Summer of 1980, a time I remember as the Summer of DOA. The Toronto City Hall show on July 19th, 1980 featured The Viletones, DOA, Forgotten Rebels, and Joe College and The Rulers, with Mendelson Joe as a guest speaker. The Demics were on the poster but due to a mixup (read Joey's book I Shithead) regarding amps, they didn't play.

Here's the button:
