One of Winnipeg's most important and influential early punk bands. They formed out of a gang of St. James kids called the Medullites, after their collective mispronuncian of the sticker on Jim Nostril's bass, which was actually Medussa. All these kids watched us practice in the basement all the time.Along with the Stretch Marks, the Unwanted were the first purely hardcore crew in Winnipeg. But right from the start, they also had a heavy metal streak in the mix, that everyone else seemed to pick up on 3 or 4 years later.
