So, longtime readers will remember when this lovely ole blog first started, there were 3 writers… and no direction at all. We didn’t really know where we wanted to take the blog, and it was just more of a fun hobby for us. AquarianBeauty, although she doesn’t write on here anymore, used to be our […]

On Saturday night, I headed down to Bordentown, NJ’s Record Collector in order to see an in-store performance by home state ska heroes Hub City Stompers. The vibe was a strange one: there was a hotdog and popcorn vendor, seats for people to sit down, and two sections (an upper, where the band and a […]

On Friday night (yeah yeah I know it’s been a few days, I’ve been sick aiiight?) I headed out to my favorite Philadelphia house venue The Terrordome to catch Brooklyn skate drunks Cerebral Ballzy. Tet Offensive:I headed in really early to catch some of my friends who live at the place, and after talking for […]

I’ve been listening to mc chris’s “Eating’s Not Cheating” quite a bit as of late. The 3rd release from self proclaimed cartoon nerd rapper, it took me a while to get into this release as a whole (some singles on here are solid),but now it is one of my favorites by mc chris. “Eating’s Not […]

I know there are a lot of similarities to punk rock, but I just couldn’t get over all the ridiculiously stupid virgin sacrificing-esque lyrics and the vocals (which either […]

This past weekend I went to Long Island to visit some friends, and I was thinking about bands from there, and realized I never posted on one of my favorite albums by Long Islanders Bomb The Music Industry. After The Arrogant Sons of Bitches broke up, I was kind of bummed out. I was a […]

I was radio DJing with my friend up at our college radio show (which had a total of 3 listeners on a good night… seriously) when we were trying to discover some new punk bands. My friend pulled out Toxic Narcotic’s “We’re All Doomed” and suggested we […]

Passing in his sleep 2 nights ago at the young age of 29, Jay Reatard, we hardly knew ye. While sometimes controversial (punching people in the back of the head, pissing on fans) Jay had a following that spanned across genres. The indie kids dug him since his music was relatively non-threatening and had enough […]

I know you guys come here daily for punk rock, ska, and hardcore tunes, but hear me out for a second. For those who don’t know, yesterday, a natural disaster hit Haiti in the form of a deadly 7.0 magnitude earthquake. Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere with 80% of the population […]

Brash, irreverent, and gritty as all hell, Friends of Friends play melodic hardcore the way it was supposed to be played. These Tallahassee punks are giving away their “Deep Search” album for free on the web, and it is definitely worth your time to check it out. “Deep Search” contains 10 songs in 32 minutes […]
