As of late, I have been listening to Black Flag’s “Damaged” nonstop everywhere I go. Car ride, shower, writing posts… Damaged is there with me. With Black Flag often being considered the most important hardcore band ever, and Damaged usually considered their most important release, chances are if you listen to punk rock, you listen […]

Holy shit, I’ve been stoked for this show since before I was born and Kid Dynamite was even a band… true story! Yesterday evening, I headed out to Philly’s famed First Unitarian Church to catch one of my favorite bands around and Philadelphia punk rock legends Kid Dynamite. The basement was packed, hot, sweaty, and […]

While I’ve been a fan for The Copyrights for a little while now, I usually skip through their albums looking for specific songs and rarely listen to the album as a whole. With their latest and fifth studio release of “North Sentinel Island”, The Copyrights mix things up a little bit, and the album blends […]

What up long lost homies? There has been a little lack of updates because I was supposed to go to the Outerbanks this past week, but there was some bitch named Irene who sort of ruined that plan (hint: for you west coasters… we got hit with a hurricane). So instead I went to visit […]

This past Wednesday, I was feeling a bit bored and antsy, then I remembered about a Dry Feet show that was happening with Jeff The Brotherhood. I headed out to Philly’s relatively new Bookspace for the first time, which is the coolest concept of a venue I’ve seen in a while. Pretty much, it’s a […]

I drowned a hipster in a tributary the other day… it wasn’t mainstream! hahaha *ahem*. There are some albums that are just perfect for the current season. As we head into autumn up here in the Northeast (and try not to die in earthquakes apparently…), I find that The Reveling’s June 21st release of “Tributaries” […]

Last evening before heading out to some ridiculous dance parties, I headed over to Philly’s Barbary to catch San Francisco’s Punch. I missed the first opener but caught San Francisco’s Loma Prieta. Loma Prieta: I’ve never heard of these guys before and I also have no idea what their name means, but they were fucking […]

Photo taken by the great http://www.blakelarsonphoto.com People often skip opening bands because they really just want to see the headliner, and I get that, but I’ve discovered so many damn good bands by watching opening sets. Philly’s This Is Jazz are one of those bands. At the last show I saw them at (Static Radio […]

I’m going to keep this post short, but a few months ago I received the 3 song EP from Edmond, Oklahoma’s 4 piece band They Stay Dead. Let me just say I was hooked within the first listen. These guys pull a lot of different influences, but upon listening the melodic punk they used to […]

Hey you know what’s weird? Brooklyn punks Cerebral Ballzy’s latest “Self Titled” release is on Adult Swim’s (yes, the cartoon network program) record label. Oddness factor aside, any reader of this blog knows that I love Cerebral Ballzy ever since I’ve seen them a few years back. Bringing their drunk, don’t give a fuck punk […]
