I’m going to be blunt: The Revenge’s debut 2007 release “Less Talk, More Shots” is one fuck of an underrated album. 23 minutes of face splattering, hardcore tinged with a bit of punk rock… hell yeah. The Revenge hail from the hot as balls Phoenix, Arizona, and from the second the album opens, you know […]

It took me quite some time to finally listen to The Menzingers “Chamberlain Waits”, and quite frankly, I’m embarrassed. Not only are they from my adopted city of Philly, I’ve had the freaking promo on my desk for quite some time. Every time I’d be ready to give it a spin, I’d be in a […]

So, I’ve been having some issues with my current city Philadelphia, and the problems all stem from this website you’re reading here. Not too long ago, in order to try helping pay some of the cost of the hosting, I’ve put a few ads up, and last year, I actually wound up making a very […]

Say what you want about Rise Against (and I’ve talked some shit in the past), regardless of what they’re doing now, these Chicago cats were one of the best melodic hardcore bands around, period. Need proof? Just check out their first release ever, demo/EP “Transistor Revolt”. Transistor Revolt was self released back in the year […]

Off With Their Heads, my go to band when I need an anthem about self loathing and generally being a fuck up. I’m a huge fan of the band, but for some reason, I never really gave their 2006 “Hospitals” EP a chance. Shame, because Hospitals contains some of OWTH’s finest material. Sounding a bit […]

Thank god for Google Calendar huh? Yesterday, I hopped on my computer, only to get a notification letting me know that Bomb The Music Industry’s show was happening… shit I completely forgot about that! I made the long trek from Philadelphia over to Asbury Lanes in Asbury Park NJ to catch one of the most […]

San Francisco’s Ceremony is one of my favorite hardcore bands around, and I’ve been pretty stoked about their upcoming Bridge 9 release “Rohnert Park” due out on June 8th. The band has posted one of the upcoming songs on the Bridge 9 MySpace page. The song has a very old school punk feel, and has […]

When most people think of female fronted punk rock, one of the first bands that come to mind is Tsunami Bomb. I had the pleasure of seeing them once open for the Bouncing Souls and Strike Anywhere (actually on their guest list from a contest I won at punknews like… 7 years ago), and they […]
