Cerebral Ballzy, The Trowels, Old Stuff, Dopestroke Live In Philly (3/30/11)

March 30, 2011 No Comments

Last night, I headed out to South Philly’s finest punk dive bar, JR’s to catch my buddy’s band Old Stuff and also thrash skate punk dudes Cerebral Ballzy. There was a decent amount of people in the tiny bar, and things got nice and rowdy (like a punk show should, god damn it.) Dopestroke First […]

Converge – Jane Doe (For fans of Hope Conspiracy, Protest the Hero, Phobia)

March 29, 2011 No Comments

When I first heard Converge’s touted masterpiece “Jane Doe” nearly 9 years ago, I didn’t really appreciate it much. Sure, I dug a few songs off it (particularly “Homewrecker”), but the lyrics and the metal influences were lost on me. Recently I’ve given it another spin… and holy fuck. There are few bands that can […]

World Inferno Friendship Society Live In Philly (3/25/11)

March 28, 2011 No Comments

On Friday, I headed out to the sold out basement of Philly’s Unitarian Church to catch one of my favorite bands, circus punk act World Inferno Friendship Society. It’s been nearly two years since I’ve had a chance to catch these guys, so I was pretty excited for the show. Mirrors and Wires: I got […]

Big D and the Kids Table – Good Luck (For fans of Less Than Jake, Bomb the Music Industry, Mustard Plug)

March 23, 2011 No Comments

I’ll be honest, these days I don’t really listen to as much ska as I used to with a few exceptions. Perhaps it’s the lack of newer ska bands that don’t completely suck, or perhaps it’s because all my favorite ska bands rarely tour (*cough* Mustard Plug *cough*) or just release albums I don’t dig […]

Atom and His Package – Self Titled (For fans of Matt and Kim, Totally Michael, Japanther)

March 21, 2011 No Comments

I can tell you right now, you’re either going to love Atom and His Package’s “The First CD” album, or you are going to completely despise it. There seems to be very little in between when it comes to this Philadelphia one man synth rocker. Atom and His Package released “The First CD” back in […]

Coke Bust – Lines In The Sand (For fans of Ceremony, Punch, Paint it Black)

March 15, 2011 No Comments

In a world full of chuggy break downs and predictable patterns, Coke Bust is a breath of fresh air. Concentrating on the faster elements of hardcore, their 17 song release “Lines In The Sand” completely melts faces. The majority of songs clock in under a minute, and have a power violence feel to them while […]

On Friday, I rushed out to a random West Philly house straight from work to catch the One Win Choice record release show which featured an incredibly stellar line-up. Afraid I was going to be late, I made it there with plenty of time to spare… thank you punk rock time. Lighten UpOk, anyone who […]

Go Rydell, Hold Tight, This Is Your Life (Live In Philly 3/11/11)

March 11, 2011 No Comments

Last night, I headed to a basement show to catch a stellar line-up: Go Rydell, Hold Tight!, This Is Your Life, and Reservoirs. I didn’t really catch the headlining two piece Omar, but they sounded pretty tight from what I’ve heard. After wandering in the rain for a while trying to find the house, I […]

Grey Area / Go Rydell Split 7″ (For fans of Kid Dynamite, Strike Anywhere, Higher Giant)

March 10, 2011 No Comments

Holy shit. A split between Grey Area and Go Rydell? Pinch me, I’m dreaming. It’s been nearly 11 years since Grey Area released any new materials (seriously, think of where you were 11 years ago), and having Go Rydell on the split is an added bonus. The NYC melodic hardcore veterans contribute 2 songs, and […]

After an interesting weekend in DC that involved going to support my friend’s brothers band Atomic Tom and parties, I rushed straight to the First Unitarian Church for the sold out Paint it Black show. I made it just in time for Punch. Punch:I think I have a new addition to my favorite female fronted […]
