Ah yes, The Bouncing Souls Home For The Holidays… their (and mine) yearly holiday tradition since 2007 where the Souls play 4 nights in Asbury Park with something special going on each night. I went on Friday at the Stone Pony, because Grey Area was playing and I fucking love those guys. Team Vibes: Team […]
Paint It Black Secret Holiday House Show (Live In Philly 12/27/12)
When I saw that Paint It Black was playing a rare show in DC and then NJ this winter but left Philly off the list, I had a hunch that they had something up their sleeves for their hometown. So when I saw that they announced that they were going to play a secret house […]
Bomb The Music Industry, Hop Along, Franz Nicolay (Live In Brooklyn) 12/19/12
This past Wed I got an IM from my good friend up in Brooklyn: Her: Hey are you still in NY? Me: No, I’m back in Philly why? Her: Oh, Bomb The Music Industry is playing with Franz Nicolay. Me: Oh, well then I obviously should be in NY then. I instantly bought a ticket […]
Bomb The Music Industry, Laura Stevenson and The Cans Live In Philly (12/2/12)
It’s been a little while since I’ve been to a show. I didn’t go at all in the month of November and I’m pretty sure the last one I went to was Texas Is The Reason up in NYC. So needless to say, I was pretty excited to catch Bomb The Music Industry once again […]
Texas Is The Reason, Gameface Live In NY (10/11/12)
Last night I headed out to New York City’s Irving Plaza with some friends in order to catch post-hardcore legends Texas Is The Reason reunion show at Revelation Records Anniversary show. Unfortunately I could not catch any of the other nights (Youth Of Today is playing Saturday), but I was stoked to catch TITR. Gameface: […]
Propagandhi, Comeback Kid, One Win Choice Live (Philly 10/5/12 Union Transfer)
Propagandhi is a cruel mistress. I have been listening to these Canadian punks since the year 2000 when Today’s Empire, Tomorrow’s Ashes came out, and they have easily been one of my favorite bands since. However, in the span of those 12 years, I only had the opportunity to see them once, and that was […]
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 […]
Teenage Bottlerocket Live In Philly (8/24/12)
This past Friday, I headed out to see one of my all time favorite pop-punk bands around, Teenage Bottlerocket. It’s a rare occasion for me to be able to see them (in the years I’ve been listening to them this was only going to be my 4th time… due to the fact they are from […]
Punch Live in Philly (8/3/12)
Friday after a day at the pool with some friends and celebrating the opening of new ice cream places (what’s up Little Baby Ice cream) I rushed over to the Barbary to catch brutal as fuck San Francisco hardcore act Punch. I didn’t think I was going to make it, but when I asked the […]
Dead Milkmen, Women, BK Friendly Live In Philly (7/27/12)
This past Friday night, I may have pissed off some friends. They JUST arrived into town, but I had a prior date with The Dead Milkmen… sorry friends. I headed out to Philly’s Union Transfer for AnchorFest, a memorial for Dan Krawiec and was being headlined by The Dead Milkmen. I got there right in […]
