I like my hardcore like I like my sex: spontaneous, noisy, and no time for fucking cuddling. An Albatross’s 2001 debut Eat Lightning Shit Thunder delivers exactly that, and then some. Playing some of the most sporadic music that the genre has to offer, these Wilkes-Barre (now Philadelphia) dudes are able to cram in more […]
Cali-Fucking-Fornia (A Mix)
Ahh California: beautiful coastlines, nice weather, and some of the strangest motherfuckers you’ll ever meet. I just got back from a week out in Cali, spent most of the time in San Francisco with a few days in Los Angeles and I have to say… LA is a strange, strange city. Nothing like we have […]
Propagandhi – Failed States (For Fans of SNFU, Good Riddance, Bigwig)
When it comes to Propagandhi, people are split into three distinct groups. You have those who are fucking obsessed, those who only dig their early stuff (Less Talk More Rock, How To Clean Everything), and those who don’t like Propagandhi at all and their opinion is irrelevant. I am in the obsessed category, and completely […]
Guttermouth, The Scandals, Tonight We Strike (Live In Philly 9/9/12)
I just got back from the lovely little borough of Brooklyn, so I didn’t a chance to post this until now, but this past Sunday, I headed to Philadelphia’s small bar The Fire to catch So-Cal punk rockers Guttermouth. I’ve been listening to these guys for over 14 years and yet, never had the opportunity […]
Texas Is The Reason – Self Titled EP (For fans of Lifetime, Thursday, The Promise Ring)
Texas Is The Reason are for better or for worse… one of the most influential bands of their time and genre. While incredibly short lived with only one full length and one EP, they along with Lifetime and Sunny Day Real Estate are considered to be one of the main influences of the 90s emo […]
With Honor – Self Titled EP (For fans of Bane, Comeback Kid, Shai Hulud)
Sometimes a person’s treasure is right in their old backyard (or some other lame saying like that of your choice here). Example: I’ve had Connecticut hardcore act With Honor’s Self Titled EP since it was released back in 2003, and except for the very occasional listen over the past 9 years, I never really really […]
Punk Rock Labor Day Mix
It’s that time of year again, when we all celebrate the final days of summer (at least here on the east coast…), and take off a day of work to celebrate the working men and women (and as we pointed out before, is a complete socialist holiday, so if you talk shit about socialists, you […]
