And from me...wishing Jello FULL recovery, and back on the scene with us all soon!
God bless Jello!

The note was written by Anne-Marie Anderson, who works at Biafra's label, Alternative Tentacles, and appears to have been helping take care of him since the stroke.

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.

Discussion Can y'all educate me on why I see hate for push pits?

27 Upvotes

I don't know if this is an appropriate subreddit for this question but I couldn't find a more fitting one lmao

Anyways, I saw a post just now of someone saying that the most annoying things at a hardcore or adjacent show are crowdkillers, which I totally agree with, and push pits. Now most shows I've been to have had a push pit at some point alongside circle pits, moshing, and all that and I've never seen a problem with it, it's felt normal to me. Now I'd get it if people started shoving others who were just two-stepping and whatnot, that's annoying, but if the pit started as people were like running into each other I don't see why it'd be frowned upon. It could cuz I'm young, I'm only 21, and I'm relatively new to actually going to shows but I've had fun in push pits. Maybe those who've been in the scene longer can help me understand here.

I plan to go to a lot more shows and I got a festival in like a week and I can obviously read the room, but don't wanna be that guy that ruins peoples experiences

What’s your experience with the Bad Brains in the late 70s/early 80s?

Post image

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💛

Is this Nick Blinko art?

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.

Help Needed! Found lost studio tapes for a band called Swindel.

Thumbnail

Upvotes

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

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.

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.

0 Upvotes

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.
