I’m always slightly wary when checking out a new third wave ska band (note: by new, I mean one I haven’t had a chance to check out). For some unsolved reason that I’m going to leave up to Mulder and Scully to figure out, when a 3rd wave band sucks, they reeeaaaaally suck. We’re talking […]

Ok, to be honest, I thought I already posted this last month, but it turns out, I forgot to. I’m now wearing a potato sack and have shaved my head in penance, so in case you missed it: mc chris released a new song entitled “dbs4” (Drinking Blunts and Smoking 40s). Definitely worth checking out […]

Need a quick ska fix? Don’t worry, your local corner ska peddler here at the Housewives is here for ya (you god damn junkies…) Released nearly 12 years ago, The Pietaster’s “Willis” definitely has some solid ska that anyone who is a fan of The Specials or The Slackers could definitely appreciate. The songs themselves […]

There was often a blast of snow behind me as well, except it was because I completely wiped out. It’s been 4 and a half year since I last went snowboarding, so needless to say, when I went this pass weekend, I was slightly nervous that I would completely die since it’s been so long. […]

You can say whatever you want about Comeback Kid, their first release “Turn It Around” is solid hardcore gold. While their second release “Wake The Dead” is what shot these Winnipeg kids in the light, I find “Turn It Around” by far their most superior release. While I don’t listen to it very often, it […]

Has there ever been an EP I’ve been more obsessed with? (The answer to that is no… no there has not been). As you could probably figure out from the name, Higher Giant’s “First Five” are the first recorded tracks by Ernie Parada’s (of Token Entry/Grey Area fame) latest project. Ernie brought along other punk […]

So it has finally happened, the day is finally here! After 8 looooooong years (you know it’s long by the amount of ‘o’s), President Cheney and his little puppet Bush are finally leaving D.C (which should help D.C’s crime rate a bit), and we’ve got two other ones who hopefully won’t mess things up as […]

Housewives Homegrown is a series where we post some radical unsigned bands. Take the sugary sweet pop tunes in the veins of Totally Michael and mix it with the overly positive lyrics of Good Clean Fun (without the straight edgeness)? Uhhh… Heck Yes! Heck Yes! is just two dudes hailing out of Nashville,Tennessee making crazy […]

From Catch 22 to Hub City Stompers, New Jersey has always been a breeding ground for some pretty solid ska bands. One Cool Guy was around the same time Catch 22 was in it’s prime (Keasby Nights era), and half of the original lineup of Streetlight Manifesto were members of One Cool Guy. One Cool […]

Ever go to a hardcore show and see a kid standing in the corner with a “Bane” hoodie on, looking rejected from the world? Ever think “Gee, I wish I could be like that kid, but I just don’t know how”? Never fear! Housewives are here! With this guide, we’ll have you so old school […]
