More punk rock than you can (proverbially) shake a stick at.
Things I didn’t think I would be saying in 2019: UK 2-tone ska legends The Specials are back with their new album Encore that was released a few days ago on Feb 1st. Encore marks their first studio album with singer Terry Hall in nearly 40 years since they released their second album More Specials. […]
On a stormy, tornado watch Saturday night, I headed out to Lancaster, PA’s Chameleon Club to catch my favorite NJ mooches The Bouncing Souls since they weren’t making a Philly stop. I haven’t been to Chameleon Club in a good 11 years since I last saw Streetlight Manifesto there back in 2007, and the long […]
On a hot June day, I headed out to Asbury Park, NJ to catch the east coast version of the infamous Vegas Punk bowling tournament at the Stone Pony outdoor summer stage. Sad to say (just like last year) that there isn’t any actual bowling that takes place anymore, there are a fuck ton of […]
When it was announced that recently reunited The Movielife would be playing Philly’s tiny dive Kung Fu Necktie, I knew I would have to buy a ticket as soon as they went on sale. And I’m incredibly glad I did, because the show sold out in about 5-10 minutes. I never got to see melodic […]
I moved (yet again) and so am so far behind on posts on account I didn’t have a computer set up because I’m good at life like that, but yesterday I headed to West Philly house Golden Tea House to catch one of my favorite hardcore bands around: Punch. First off, The Golden Tea House […]
Ok, still finally playing catch up with the show recaps, and so I’m going to make this quick. But this past Friday I headed to Philly’s North Star Bar to catch ska dudes The Slackers. The bar and venue was pretty crowded for what I was assuming would be dead for a 21+ ska show, […]
Wednesday after a day of abusing my body snowboarding, I headed to Philly’s beloved First Unitarian Church basement to catch one hell of a lineup. Any of these bands on the bill would be good enough for me to go to the show, having Off With Their Heads, Morning Glory, and Direct Hit all together […]
Faithful housewives readers, I know it’s been a few weeks since my last post, but between moving, jobs, and life… things have been busy to say the least. But last night I was lucky enough to head out to Philadelphia’s THIS IS HARDCORE FEST, over at the Electric Factory to catch one of my all […]
I want to tell you a little story (because it makes me warm inside… bonus points if you get the reference): I’ve been a Comeback Kid since they came out with Turn It Around back in 2003, and I finally was getting a chance to see them when they came around my neck of the […]
This past Saturday, I headed to my old home state of NJ to catch a bunch of damn good street punk bands that do not play anywhere near often enough. The show was at Joe’s Mill Hill Saloon, which was this small little dive with a stage in it’s intimate basement, making it feel like […]
