Every once in a while you come across a band that makes you smile. Sometimes you’re having a shitty day and the music takes you away from that. Other times, you’re having a great day and the music just makes it that much better.
When I first heard Hearts of Palm, it wasn’t really either. In [...]

TV Party: Punk Rock on TV
Really, was there anything else that I could’ve called this?
There’s really something fascinating about this idea of something so underground and counter-culture making its way to a mainstream audience, even if only for a few glorious minutes. As long as its only fleeting, it can make even the most elitist fans proud. As long as [...]

Rock the Bells
Because my job is to get things placed on blogs and websites, I spend pretty much all day, every day on blogs reading about stuff. You’d think that this would give me more material to blog about, and that this would be updated more often. You’d be right about the first part, and wrong about [...]

New Constantines – “Hard Feelings”
The Constantines are one of those bands that all of the hipster blogs love that I actually agree with. No disco/new-wave/dance-punk bullshit. No electronics. No silly, pointless experimentalism. No obvious Strokes-aping. Kind of like a fueled up Fugazi, or a mellowed out Hot Water Music. Right? Yeah.
Anyways, these guys have a new record coming out [...]

Reminder. NOFX on TV.
When I was 13 I first heard NOFX and I thought they were amazing. They said shit that I didn’t know you could say on record…like a suburban Two Live Crew…they had principles…no interviews, no radio, no MTV. They were awesome. 12 years later I still don’t hate them.
The elitists can say what they want [...]

Damaged Split Ends
Apologies to Punknews for completely aping their story, but this is pretty amazing. Everybody knows Keith-era Black Flag was the best…but hair-wise, I’m thinking maybe 1984 with a bearded Bill Stevenson was boss. I’m not really sure who’s behind this, but I have a feeling it might’ve been these guys.
(Open the picture in a new [...]

Live Review: Bamboozle Left
Admittedly, its difficult to review a show that you weren’t at. I’ve never attempted it before, and I probably won’t again. But that’s the beauty of the internet. All you need to do is a little searching, and you can usually find everything you need.
I recently came across some live video of Face to Face’s [...]
