The Viletones were one of the first generation punk rock bands from Toronto, Canada. They often played at CBGB's in New York and shared many shows with Dead Boys, Ramones, Teenage Head, Diodes, and many other luminaries of the early punk scene. They were often considered the toughest and most violent punk band in North America, and maybe the world at that time. In 1977, the band released their first 7' inch, "Screamin Fist" b/w "Possibilities" and "Rebel" on their own label Vile Records. The record features the title track, a raw and intense song, coupled with "Possibilities" and "Rebel" on the B-side. The EP is known for its chaotic and urgent sound, reflecting the early punk ideals of the time.

"Screamin' Fist": This is the A-side track, a powerful and aggressive punk anthem with a memorable bass and drum intro and the distinctive vocals of Steven Leckie.

"Possibilities": A slower, more cynical track, showcasing the band's ability to explore different tempos and moods within the punk framework.

"Rebel": The second B-side, described as a riotous and energetic track with a fast tempo and aggressive delivery.

Artifix Records presents a faithful reissue of the original 1977 version of this record, which was the final Viletones released approved by Steven Leckie before his death in June 2025 and is a loving tribute in his honor.
