More punk rock than you can (proverbially) shake a stick at.
I’ve seen The World Inferno Friendship Society plenty of times over the years, but one of the most memorable was when they headlined Philly’s infamous First Unitarian Church basement back in 2011, and somebody pulled a fire alarm and the show ended early with the fire department showing up. There’s always something special about a […]
What up peeps? It’s been a busy month for me hence the lack of posts, including a bunch of shows I went to, traveling out west a bit, etc) but I’ve been going to a bunch of shows in the past week. This past Friday I headed to Philly’s infamous First Unitarian Church basement to […]
Man, it’s been way too long since Paint It Black has played a show in Philly. Last time they played their hometown, it was nearly 3 years ago on Mischief Night (the night before Halloween for all my non-Jersey/Philly peeps) where they played a secret show under a bridge. Philly was clearly antsy to see […]
Dangers is one of the best hardcore bands around, period. Touring in support of their new album The Bend In The Break, on Wednesday I had the chance to see them again over at Philadelphia’s First Unitarian Church basement. In the past, I’ve only seen these Los Angeles punks play Philly’s now defunct Golden Tea […]
Every punk fan has their gateway band that really introduced them and made them fall in love with the genre. Unless you came out of the womb with a mohawk yelling oi with a Crass patch pinned to your diaper, odds are your first exposure was a pop-punk or skate punk band. For me, that […]
I’ve been a fan of Jeff Rosenstock’s bands now for well over a decade, seeing ASOB and BTMI plenty of times over the years, and so I always try to catch him whenever he comes to town. About a week and a half ago, I headed to Philadelphia’s infamous First Unitarian Church to see him […]
I never got to see Weekend Nachos before, always out of town or busy anytime the Illinois powerviolence band came around, (even missing them at one of my old favorite houses The Golden Tea House a few years back). When I saw that they were playing Philly First Unitarian Church, I figured I had to […]
Night 1: If you were a hardcore fan anytime during the late 90s/early 00s, you more than likely listen to Bane. These Massachusetts hardcore dudes have been a staple for as long as I’ve been listening, and it’s with a heavy heart I walked into the sweaty sold out church basement knowing that it was […]
This past Friday, My girlfriend and I met up with some friends and headed out to Philly’s First Unitarian Church basement meeting up with some friends to catch Pennsylvania’s beloved Weston. The sweaty basement was pretty packed out by the time I got there with original fans who used to follow the band when they […]
I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to make it down to Philly’s First Unitarian Church basement with all the shutdowns that were happening in the city for the pope. With most of Center City having incredibly strict parking in affect, and much of our mass transit shut down (even 2 days before […]
