INTERVIEW: Morgan Y. Evans Interviews Peter Aaron of The Stabbing Jabs 

Posted on by

What do you get when you combine veteran members of Chrome Cranks, Gang Green, Motorbike with Cincinnati street-savvy working class Punk values? The answer is one bruiser of a near-perfect and rollicking debut album from The Stabbing Jabs! From the red-hot street punk n roll comet streak of “Broken Brain” to album closer “You’re A Drag” (which almost sounds like it could be an early Unsane cut), your ass will be walloped. If you’re dead tired of over-produced and bigoted garbage like Falling In Reverse being called “punk”, here is a great place for something a million times more authentic.

Posted on by

Craft Recordings is thrilled to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Violent Femmes’ 1983 self-titled debut with a special reissue of the seminal cult classic. Due out December 1st and available for pre-order now, the deluxe 2-CD and digital formats will feature newly remastered audio and over a dozen demos, B-sides, and live performances from the pioneering folk-punk trio — including alternate versions of iconic songs like “Blister in the Sun,” “Please Do Not Go,” “Gone Daddy Gone,” and “Add It Up.” A special 4-disc vinyl box set will follow February 9th, 2024, limited to 5,000 copies worldwide. Housed in a lift-top box with die-cut window detail, this collectible edition offers three 180-gram LPs — the original album, alongside the demos, and live material — plus, a replica 7-inch single (“Ugly”/“Gimme the Car”). The original album and single discs are cut from the original analog tapes, while lacquers for the complete set were cut by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio. Both the CD and LP editions will feature an expansive book with new liner notes by journalist and Rolling Stone senior editor David Fricke, complete with interviews with Violent Femmes members Gordon Gano, Brian Ritchie, and Victor DeLorenzo. The band has also shared a new single –  “Gone Daddy Gone / I Just Want to Make Love to You (Live)” streaming now on all DSPs.

ALBUM REVIEW: Voice Of Baceprot – Retas

Posted on by

 

It isn’t often that a band can make a legitimate claim at making a cultural impact on, or even before, their debut album is released, however, it is one that Voice Of Baceprot (or VOB) can certainly make. Hailing from a largely conservative Muslim province and nation in Singajaya, outside of Garut, West Java, Indonesia, the fact the band consists of three young, hijab-wearing women has generated plenty of ire.

The band’s sharp-edged twin guitar aggression is mixed with the drive-of-rock attitude.
