OFF! – Wasted Years (For fans of Black Flag, Circle Jerks, Minor Threat)

May 30, 2014 No Comments

Los Angeles supergroup OFF (featuring Keith Morris of Black Flag/Circle Jerks with members of Red Kross, Burning Brides, and Hot Snakes) is back with their 3rd full length Wasted Years, and it’s some of their best work yet. Even with the band members getting up there in age (Keith Morris is pushing 60), they still […]

Armalite (Members of Paint It Black, Atom and His Package) Live in Philadelphia (5/24/14)

May 28, 2014 No Comments

When Armalite announced that they were playing on the already sold out show opening for Spraynard at the First Unitarian Church, I was pissed.  I didn’t have a ticket, nor did I plan on getting one because I’m not really a fan of any of the other bands playing the show besides Armalite.  However, when […]

The Flex, Violent Reaction, War Emblem, The Stasi Live In Philly (5/22/14)

May 27, 2014 No Comments

This past Thursday sort of on a whim, I headed up to some random house up in North Philadelphia to see a bunch of hardcore bands.  It was the house’s first show ever, as apparently they usually just throw parties there, so the set-up was a bit odd (narrow living room, people standing on the […]

Bane – Don’t Wait Up (For fans of Comeback Kid, Ten Yard Fight, Gorilla Biscuits)

May 20, 2014 No Comments

Massachusetts Bane have been one of the most consistent bands in hardcore and have been for nearly twenty years now.  With plenty of EPs, 7-inches, and now releasing their 4th and final full length (their first in 8 years) Don’t Wait Up is some of the best we’ve seen from Bane. Kicking off with “Non-Negotiable”, […]

OFF, Cerebral Ballzy, Nasa Space Universe Live In Philadelphia (5/16/14)

May 19, 2014 No Comments

I’ve been listening to OFF! since their inception nearly 5 years ago, and have never got the chance to see them.  I’ve seen energetic Keith Morris (Black Flag/Circle Jerks) live when he came around touring with Flag, but was stoked to finally catch him with OFF.  The fact they were playing the intimate (albeit insanely […]

Ma Jolie, Hold Tight, Old Flings, Sad and French, Address Live In Philly (5/14/14)

May 15, 2014 No Comments

Holy shit… it’s been 3 whole years since I’ve last seen my homies in Richmond, VA’s pop-punk band Hold Tight play, so when I saw they were stopping at West Philly’s Golden Tea House for a pre Pouzza Fest show, there was no way I was missing that. Address: First up were Philly locals Address.  […]

The Holy Mess – Cande Ru Las Degas (For fans of The Menzingers, None More Black, Smoke or Fire)

May 9, 2014 No Comments

If you were to judge The Holy Mess’s latest Cande Ru Las Degas by the acoustic opening track of “My Boring 90s”, you’d think “shit, another punk band has gone all soft” while ripping out your speakers in disgust and throwing them in the street.  You’d probably then light said speakers on fire, dropkick a […]

Big Eyes, Tony Molina, Radiator Hospitals Live Under A Bridge in Philly (5/6/14)

May 7, 2014 No Comments

Sometimes I think that I should move from Philly, as I’ve been living here for a total of 7 years now and occasionally feel I should check out another city.  Then something incredibly awesome happens like the show last night, and it reminds me why I love this city so fucking much.  So I totally […]

The Death Set – Michel Poiccard (For fans of Melt Banana, Math The Band, Japanther)

May 5, 2014 No Comments

I have to say, ever since I saw Australia-now-Brooklyn’s electronic experimental punk band The Death Set last week, I’ve been listening to their 2011 Michel Poiccard pretty much non-stop. Opening up with a quick statement “I wanna take this this tape, and blow up your fucking stereo”, The Death Set wastes absolutely no time before […]
