Runt got into punk rock at the elderly age of seven when his neighbor Jeremy bought The Dead Milkmen album "Big Lizard In My Back Yard". "When you are seven years old, living in the vacuum of Schenectady NY, and you hear songs like Bitchin' Camaro, you get hooked pretty damn easily." Luckily for Runt, his older sister had chosen the same path, which made finding out about bands a lot easier in a world over run by pop music. "Thanks to my sister, while most people claim NKOTB or something of equal horror as their first show, I got to see Fugazi when I was 11." By 16 Runt was co-host of the Crunch and Grunt show on CKUT, one of the only Punk shows in Montreal at the time, if not the only. This kicked off a career in the music world and Runt would spend the next 12 years as a punk DJ at various clubs and bars. Always turning away from the stagnant complacency of music in any genre, Runt is always looking for new bands and new sounds to give his listeners what he calls "the audio equivalent of a kick in the groin."
