Like a bunch crystal meth fiends, ever since last year’s release of Static Radio NJ’s EP “One For The Good Guys”, punk/hardcore fans everywhere have been begging, demanding, and threatening the mothers of the band members for a new release. To relieve some of the withdrawal symptoms for their fans, Static Radio NJ is set […]

I haven’t been too active in checking out new music lately. When the Weakerthans are so good why bother listening to anything else right? But I had a little free time at work today and decided to listen to a few promo emails we’ve gotten. Within the first minute of the first Light Pollution song […]

Sweltering, blistering, and any other adjective you like would be perfect to describe BRAINDEAD. Hailing from the City of Brotherly Love (speaking of which, I almost saw a fight break out in Love Park last night, pretty sweet), BRAINDEAD plays a mix of youth-crew style hardcore (such as Gorilla Biscuits and Youth of Today) and […]

Plain and simple: If you like straight up, no frills punk rock, you’re going to like Violent Society. In the veins of Clit 45, Oxymoron, (Insert your favorite Street Punk band here).

Well I meant to go to Siren this year, looks like it was a heck of a good time. The thing is, I got home from The Dark Knight at 4am on Friday night and the G train is running as a shuttle and well it’s really really hot outside. I did manage to drag […]

Shit man, it’s the Ramones. Everybody knows the Ramones. Hell, they’re name has become some merchandised that I will guarantee (or your money back) that you can go to Sears and pick up a shirt with their logo on it (although please don’t do that). Regardless, they were one of the biggest (if not the […]

Instrumentals are way too underrated, often ignored (or *gasp!* dare I say it? skipped!) when we listen to an album. So in tribute to the lonely, underappreciated musical melodies, here are my top 10 (non-classical/non-techno) favorite instrumental tracks. 10.
