GREY HOUSE


This DC inspired melodic punk probably came a half decade too late to a real impact, but time starts to blur a bit as it passes, so these sounds suit me just fine.

Last show update for a while, and back to wordy, well thought out posts soon. Richmond, VA with ASSHOLE PARADE, SUPPRESSION and DRUGS OF FAITH. Talk about a time warp....

THE TOTAL END


Maybe you missed this the first time around, do not make the same mistake today. Absolutely mandatory early-'00s crust. This floors me still every time I hear it, and I cannot understand why they are not emblazoned across every studded vest on both sides of the ocean. Members of a ton of other amazing bands, but this stands alone...

While I'm bummed I can't see DASHER tonight in Atlanta, we are playing with ASSHOLE PARADE, HARSH WORDS and CHEAP ART, so that's pretty killer.

URBN DK


Kenosha, Wisconsin legends URBN DK might mean a lot more if you were there, but who doesn't like high energy pogo punk? Dummies, that's who. I want to see the comments section filled with stories of Kenosha weirdos...

I haven't been to Gainesville in fukkn years. I will be there tonight with NO STATIK, ASSHOLE PARADE and SO PASTEL at Mars Pub. I look forward to it.

THE RATS


Sweden's answer to ANNIHILATION TIME. Filthy hardcore punk rock 'n roll - perfect vocals and screaming guitars. The more worldly among you should already be familiar, but the rest of you need to get amongst this pronto.

Tampa tonight at Epic Problem with EX-FRIENDS, PERMANENT MAKEUP, SCIENCE and ASSHOLE PARADE

VAN GOGH'S EAR


Well over an hour of pure unadulterated weird. I feel like this could have been come conceptual free form rock record had it come from New York City in 1966...but it came from Oklahoma in 1993. From the brain of Dan Riffe (ILLEGITIMATE SONS OF JACKIE O, ANCIENT CHINESE PENIS, BRUTAL GARDENERS, DON'T CARE BEARS and countless others) comes VAN GOGH'S EAR. Strap in.
