More punk rock than you can (proverbially) shake a stick at.
I usually wouldn’t post something like this, but it was a pretty unique/fun experience so I figure I share. I saw a post on Facebook a few weeks ago from The Menzingers talking about how they needed some extras for their latest music video shoot for their new song “After The Party”, and if interested […]
This past Friday, as us Americans watched a narcissistic sociopath con his way into the White House (I’m just waiting for him to plaster his stupid fucking name in gaudy ass letters above it like he does all of his buildings), I headed to my favorite stomping grounds The Barbary to catch local legends The […]
It’s been a long damn time since I’ve last been to a Philly house show. Last night, I headed to a basement to catch a couple of hardcore punk bands as they played a fundraiser for Philly’s Project Safe. While I didn’t really know any of the bands very well, I dug what little I […]
NOFX are beyond punk rock veterans at this point. Not only have they been consistently touring and releasing music since the 80s, the band also hasn’t had any real member changes since the early 90s. After the release of their gut wrenchingly honest autobiography The Hepatitis Bathtub and Other Stories, the California punks are back […]
In the past year Guttermouth quietly released two EPs, with New Car Smell being the latest. I’ve seen many reviews claiming that these new releases were the first songs from the California punks since their 2006 Shave The Planet (and if you read this site at all, you’ll know that’s fucking bullshit). These same reviews […]
Ahhh 2016, collectively the shit stain year of the decade. Admittedly, I haven’t had a chance to post many reviews as I’ve been busy/concussed (forced to limit screen time) so I didn’t post anywhere near as much as I would have liked, including for many of the albums in my top 10. Nonetheless, I’ve been […]
Fuck. I was hoping to make a post tonight about my top 10 albums of 2016, but instead am reporting on some incredibly depressing news. According to Not Like You Records, Dave Franklin of NJ hardcore band Vision has passed away. Growing up in NJ, Vision was incredibly influential to hardcore there, and to me […]
In case you haven’t heard, 80s DC melodic hardcore band Dag Nasty has reunited with all of the original members from when the band first started, and released a 7-inch in 2016. On the night before New Year’s Eve, I headed to Philadelphia’s TLA in order to catch Dag Nasty once again after seeing them […]
