Against All Authority is the perfect summertime band (assuming that your summers consist of smashing the state, murdering the patriarchy, and all around being a street urchin). Their first album “Destroy What Destroys You” is a classic ska punk album that keeps up the fury throughout the entire album. The music is sloppy ska/punk in […]

Looks like everyone’s favorite high-pitched rapper is returning to his extreme D.I.Y roots, and posted every album on his website for streaming (it’s pretty high quality as well!) Check it out here.

Don’t judge a band by it’s name. I avoided listening to Two and a Half White Guys for a while because I was expecting some crappy 3rd wave ska band fronted by a pre-pubescent boy that whines over music that tries everything they it can to sound like Catch-22 while playing Reel Big Fish’s cover […]

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoO9gwqlw0w] Quirky punks unite! Legendary Philly punks The Dead Milkmen stated in a blog that they plan on releasing some new material: “We had so much fun last November at the Fun Fun Fun Festival that we’ve decided to keep at it and play some shows to see what might develop as far as new […]

Sometimes hype can completely kill a band. Proclaimed to be the next messiahs of hardcore with their all-star lineup consisting of Dave Baker (vocals, Hope Conspiracy), Tim Cossar (guitar, Give Up The Ghost), and members from both Red Chord and Death by Stereo, Bars would never be able to live up to such expectations. Admittedly, […]

Hello fellow slackers and procrastinators! I know a lot of you check this website in the middle of the day when you’re at work or at school, so even though I know it’s not a popular time for web traffic, there’s a reason why I post these at like 11:40 in the morning (because I […]

NOFX is a band that really does not need any introduction, so I’ll keep this post short. In their 26 year existence, NOFX released more records than that Hilton girl has STDs (ok, that was too easy), and “So Long and Thanks For All The Shoes” is definitely one of their best. If you haven’t […]

Finally, a thrash inspired band that gives me a reason to listen to something other than Municipal Waste! Icepick hails from Holland, and are virtually unknown here in the United States. That’s a shame, because they bring with them an onslaught of old school hardcore/thrash music in the veins of “Crossover” era DRI. While they […]

Today’s post comes from guest blogger Chicago hipster Bro-ntosaurus Hotpants Askance! So read up my bro-zillas.So I went to this potluck dinner the other day (my roommate and I brought a wonderful oat-apple crisp that she made). And at this potluck, I was talking to this one guy at length about various common interests, most […]

I’ll be frank: I used to despise Osker’s “Idle Will Kill”. For nearly 8 years since it was released in 2001, I dismissed it as complete utter crap, showcasing yet another punk band that I loved who played face ripping snotty punk making way for acoustic guitars (it’s really only one song) and slower melodies. […]
