The Bollweevils – 9/27 at Reggie’s

Saturday night The Bollweevils returned to action over at Reggie’s. I hadn’t seen the band play since last year’s Riot Fest which was already a year ago, so I was pretty excited that the band was doing another show. After a quick trip upstairs to do a little record shopping, I walked in the club [...]


No Wave

No Wave

No Wave – Book by Marc Masters Black Dog Publishing I will admit that as much as I enjoy the No Wave bands that I’ve heard, I know little about them and only own a very small amount of the records that came out of that scene. It was Teenage Jesus and the Jerks that [...]

Suicidal Tendencies 25th Anniversary LP

It’s hard to believe that the first Suicidal Tendencies LP is now a quarter-century old. It is also equally hard to believe that I bought this album for myself 24 years ago, and that my punk rock youth was so long ago. I have no idea where the time went, but sometimes it feels like [...]

Selections from The Punk Vault [Peace Corpse]

This particular feature has been a long time coming. When I was a freshman in high school I heard a Peace Corpse song on Kathy and Shrub’s radio show on our high school radio station. The song was called “Jocko Macho” and I was an instant fan. I used to record their shows because my [...]


The Middle Class reissues

The Middle Class is sometimes credited for putting out the first “hardcore” record with their legendary Out of Vogue EP. Whether that is true or not is irrevelant, what is important is they put out some amazing early punk records. In their short career, the band left us with only a pair of 7″ EPs, [...]

The Meatmen - The Devil's in the Details DVD

The Meatmen – The Devil’s in the Details DVD MVD Visual When I was in high school, I was over at Jamie Munroe’s house and borrowed some of his records and one of them was We’re The Meatmen and You Suck. I loved that record so much that he didn’t get that record back for [...]


Silver Abuse 9/6 at Lucky Gator Loft

Saturday night saw the return once again of Silver Abuse! I saw them last December when they did a reunion show and had a lot of fun, so when I found out they were doing another one I wasn’t about to miss it. This time around they were playing with three newer bands instead of [...]

The Accused - More Fun Than an Open Casket Funeral CD

The Accused – More Fun Than an Open Casket Funeral CD Unrest Records Back in the late 1980s punk rock fell on some dark times. All the great hardcore bands were either breaking up, trying to sound like U2 or turning metal, with turning metal being the avenue that was the most popular. While this [...]
