She Ain’t No Use to Me

SHE AIN’T NO USE TO ME

There was also a song on Ear-Piercing Punk called “She Ain’t No Use to Me” by one of the best 1960’s Canadian rock bands, the Ugly Ducklings. I just picked up a reissue of their original 1967 album last year, Somewhere Outside, though I have thoroughly enjoyed their late 1970’s reunion album that I have had for years, Off the Wall.

I recently picked up a reissue of the 1967 debut album, Somewhere Outside by the Ugly Ducklings from Toronto, Ontario; they are widely regarded as the greatest Canadian garage rock band. Their 1967 hit “Gaslight” hit #17 on the national Canadian charts and was #1 in Toronto; I know them better for their raw early songs like “She Ain’t No Use to Me”, “Nothin’” and “Just in Case You Wonder”.
