Ana Armengod is a Mexican multidisciplinary artist who captivates with breathtaking works of pointillism, powerful poetry with many layers of meaning, and a fierce roar while fronting the East Coast/Pittsburgh area, no-holds-barred punk band De Rodillas. There is an intricate thread of realness, grace, and humanism to her work, even when at her most fierce. She truly comes off as a Punk Rock polymath.Continue reading
ALBUM REVIEW: Strawberry Fuzz – Miller’s Garage
Venice Beach punk natives Strawberry Fuzz share their new album Miller’s Garage (CandyShop Management). The new album directly follows the band’s 2023 LP Strongs Dr. Ever since making their musical debut in 2021 with the album Fuzz Tapes, Vol. 1, Strawberry Fuzz have cemented themselves as an unprecedented force to be reckoned with among the Los Angeles surf/skate punk scene.Continue reading
ALBUM REVIEW: Bronson Arm – Casket Schwagg
Kalamazoo, Michigan is home to Bronson Arm (Blake Bickel – Guitar/Vocals, Garrett Yates – Drums) who are back with a new release a mere year after last year’s self-titled debut. The oddly titled Casket Schwagg (Learning Curve Records) is described as a politically charged album by Bickel despite the band not being politically charged themselves, whether this proves potentially off-putting to some remains to be seen. Continue reading
ALBUM REVIEW: Kicked In The Teeth – Watling Street Chambers
In a better universe, Lemmy Kilmister lives. In that universe, Motorhead goes about twenty percent more Punk for their most recent album.
Because we live in our universe, we got lucky. Kicked In The Teeth gave us Watling Street Chambers (Rare Vitamin Records), which my ears tell me might as well be the same thing.
ALBUM REVIEW: Iron Lung – Adapting – Crawling
S
When I was much, much, much younger, I went to a talent show at a girlfriend’s high school. Most of the acts were musical, so they set up a stage in the gym rather than using the auditorium. About four or five of those bands were hardcore punk fronted by the same kid, and every song exploded in a sub-two-minute speed-punk rage blast.Continue reading
ALBUM REVIEW: Jivebomb – Ethereal
Baltimore-based hardcore punk group Jivebomb released their debut full-length record Ethereal via Flatspot Records. Clocking in at just 15 minutes, the group’s inaugural LP is a heavy-hitting, unrelenting body of work that cements the group as one of the genre’s most brutal and poetic up-and-coming acts. Continue reading
ALBUM REVIEW: The Velveteers – A Million Knives
The Velveteers will release their highly anticipated sophomore album A Million Knives. Recorded in collaboration with The Black Keys frontman Dan Auerbach, the new record will be released via Easy Eye Sound, Auerbach’s record label.Continue reading
ALBUM REVIEW: Lambrini Girls – Who Let The Dogs Out
On their debut full-length record, Brighton-based Punk duo Lambrini Girls have offered the perfect soundtrack for when you’re wondering how the hell a rapist was elected to lead our country. Who Let The Dogs Out (City Slang) is undoubtedly a boisterous, cathartic, high-octane album featuring ten fiery and relentless tracks that offer commentary on a wide variety of social issues besides the political state of the world. Earning a ton of recognition from the press well before the debut album came out, Lambrini Girls just might be the figures we need to musically spearhead the new era our world now finds itself in.Continue reading
INTERVIEW: Morgan Y. Evans Interviews Peter Aaron of The Stabbing Jabs
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.
