Rough Trade – Avoid Freud (1980) Vinyl LP

Toronto’s Rough Trade were one of the most provocative and artistically daring acts to emerge from the Canadian new wave scene, and Avoid Freud (1980) is their finest hour — sharp, sardonic, and driven by Carole Pope’s fearless stage presence and Kevan Staples’ angular guitar work. A landmark of Canadian rock that still sounds ahead of its time. An essential find for collectors of new wave and Canadian indie.
