Purchase From Band Camp In the interests of providing a completely honest review and not writing a shitty promotional essay or advertorial, let the truth be known - I was in this band for a brief period of time. I attended the first few practices and did my best to play bass (during one these practices my amp broke and more or less rendered me useless). I also came up with the name, s...

A whole lot of people have a whole lot of opinions of New York's Agnostic Front, but one thing is certain....they are the hardest working band in hardcore today. What some would call "late to the party", the band first made a name for themselves with 1983's "United Blood" EP, the pioneering foray into what would become known as the New York Hardcore sound, and quickly followed it up with the classic "Victim in Pain". While other hardcore bands of the day...

"It's freezing out here, bring me a hot chocolate!"
"Do you want marshmallows in it?" As nerdy as it is, that was my Twitter interaction with Bad Religion bassist Jay Bentley, self-proclaimed social media whore, before tonight's show. It seems like an eternity has passed since the first time I heard Bad Religion; they've been an integral part of my life for so long, I have only vague memories of them not being part of my musical lexicon. In reality, however, it was only...

Cast: Alice Donut, Jello Biafra
Purchase From Amazon

The Film: It's probably robbing me of what little (if any) punk rock cred I have left to admit that I've never listened to Alice Donut. Actually, I've barely even heard of Alice Donut, despite the fact that they were and are championed by Jello Biafra and his label Alternative Tentacles, the source for most of...

To tell you the absolute truth, I hate going to concerts by myself. Despite the fact that conversation between co-attendees is generally governed by gig volume and breaks between the songs, it's always nice to be able to turn to your friend(s) and do the “Fuck, yeah” nod in appreciation of what you're witnessing taking place on the stage. But in these troublesome economic times, combined with the steady increase in price of concert tickets, many fans of live music are...

The Film:

Who doesn't like beers and loud music? That's probably what the guys from No Idea Records were thinking when they decided to put together a punk rock festival in Gainesville, Florida, back in 2002. Now in its 10th year, The Fest continues to draw snotty, scabby, unwashed youth...

It seems that every major city has had a 'punk house' at some point. Los Angeles had the Stern Brothers and Skinhead Manor, among others, New York City had and still has C-Squat on the Lower East Side, and Toronto had Fort Goof. The ringleader at Fort Goof, which was essentially a 24/7 booze can inhabited by a group of crusty street punks, was a young man named Steve Johnson, better known around...

Joe Keithley's been around the block a few times. As the front man for long running Vancouver based punk band D.O.A. the guy has quite literally travelled the world and seen it all - and along the way, he's gathered up a pretty bad ass collection of pictures, flyers, promo shots, album art and, well, pretty much everything else you can think of. So with that said, you've got to figure...

D.O.A. recently put out a pretty bad ass record called Talk - Action = 0. In celebration of this event, D.O.A. founding father and proverbial punk rock legend Joe 'Shithead' Keithly took the time to answer a few questions. And while you're at it, check out our coverage of the band's Brooklyn stop on their 2013 farewell tour here! Ian: So Talk - Action = 0 is out now and I personally feel it's the best thing that D.O.A. has done in a long time. Did the shitty state of the world o...
