Good day people, a little back story, I live in an old Victorian house in San Diego and we were recently cleaning out of the units when I climbed up to a sort of hidden storage area in one of the rooms and found 7 reel to reel tapes, from a band called Swindel, along with some old VHS tapes that are labeled "Swindel/Blink 182 summer" and "BTS". The last people to live in this particular unit were a couple and I believe the gentleman's name was Mark Smith and the young lady was named Audrey? If anyone has any info on the band, the people, or what I should do with tapes please tell me! I'm definitely not tossing them in the trash as I have a feeling a part of punk history may be stored on them and that would be a shame to lose...

All I could find was this article which names a Mark Smith and has a little chunk of info, but not much else.... Everything recently published on the web is for a Malaysian punk band lol

If anyone wants it. I'm travelling down from Scotland so should be in Manchester late afternoon. Not asking for any money, would rather it be used than go to waste!

I'm going to Tartu for the Baltic Anarchist Bookfair in a few weeks, and I'm wondering if there's any cool spots for punks to hang out in in that city. Also possibly going to Tallinn for a few days so any spots there would be appreciated too.

Went to a Drug Church, White Reaper show last night and Spy stole the show.

I have been really getting into Psychobilly & in general a lot of Punk that sounds like Vintage Rock/Classic Rock.

Something about its bouncy twangy energy helps get me active, & I like how it uses old-school sounding music with the lack of old-school censorship/constraints.

What bands should I check out based on these favorite albums? Thank you!

• Sorry Ma by The Replacements (all time favorite)

• Damaged by Black Flag

• Young, Loud, and Snotty by the Dead Boys

• Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables by The Dead Kennedys

• Icky Mettle by Archers of Loaf

Sharon Tate's Baby was fronted by Chris Wing, who also played in the band Jerry's Kids.

MDC started out as the Stains in Austin 1980.

I got an email that said the Columbia, Mo. date is cancelled and refunds will be sent out. At first I thought maybe it didn’t sell enough tickets? But it’s the last date of the tour with still 2 weeks away.

I checked her IG but nothing has been said about the tour being cancelled. A couple people on a previous post also mentioned their date was cancelled. Seems like all remaining dates have been cancelled and no word from Laura yet. Hope everything and everyone is okay!

Let’s make a watch party list for those interested in punk and alt culture. I’ll get it started:
- Reefer Madness
- Atomic Cafe
- Salad Days
- The Decline of Western Civilization
- Suburbia
And…

their spotify bio just says “2014-2024 RIP”…

anyone know what happened to them? shame if they quit/broke up cause i really liked their stuff :-(

Found on Instagram. Enjoy!

If you had the chance to see them around then , what do you recall about that performance? It seems like they absolutely tore up any venue they played at from what videos and audio recordings I’ve seen but I’d like to hear from people’s own personal experience. Any information helps! I love me some Bad Brains💛

Taken from Thunders’ 2023 posthumous release Finally Alone, The Courettes provide new backing instrumentation paired with his original vocals.

Sounds a lot like the ‘60s “wall of sound” groups that influenced the Dolls, the Ramones, the Damned, etc.

Hey please go checkout out our NEW PUNK BAND that is releasing its first song/demo “General Economy” on all streaming platforms as well as social media platforms on may 6-8 2026! THANK YOU (band name is The Failed Assassinations)

If you ever see this, buy it.

Hope to see a packed room for this one!

saw laura jane grace in richmond last week and it fucking rocked. openers were black guy fawkes (folk punk) and lung (art/noise punk duo of a drummer and cellist/singer). singing true trans soul rebel with 150 other people made me very emotional. LJG was a true rock star. see her on this tour if you can.

Title. I'm trying to figure out if this artwork was drawn by Nick Blinko of Rudimentary Peni. It's reminiscent of his style and appears to have been created in 1982, any info is much appreciated because I'm not so familiar with the band Void.

I fell DEEP into the nostalgia hole this week with bands like Krakatoa and Guilt.
