On Friday night (yeah yeah I know it’s been a few days, I’ve been sick aiiight?) I headed out to my favorite Philadelphia house venue The Terrordome to catch Brooklyn skate drunks Cerebral Ballzy.Tet Offensive:I headed in really early to catch some of my friends who live at the place, and after talking for a bit, Philly’s Tet Offensive set up and played one brutal set.

I’ve been listening to mc chris’s “Eating’s Not Cheating” quite a bit as of late. The 3rd release from self proclaimed cartoon nerd rapper, it took me a while to get into this release as a whole (some singles on here are solid),but now it is one of my favorites by mc chris.”Eating’s Not Cheating” has a lot of more straight up hip hop influenced songs such as Toothpick Spliffs, tractorbeam, and

Everyone has that one friend who is a complete metal head. When my friend Evan and I first met, I was pretty damned opposed to metal. I know there are a lot of similarities to punk rock, but I just couldn’t get over all the ridiculiously stupid virgin sacrificing-esque lyrics and the vocals (which either simply had to be guttural cookie monster growls or prepubescent castrated boys…

This past weekend I went to Long Island to visit some friends, and I was thinking about bands from there, and realized I never posted on one of my favorite albums by Long Islanders Bomb The Music Industry.After The Arrogant Sons of Bitches broke up, I was kind of bummed out. I was a pretty big fan of the band, and saw them a handful of times. So when I heard that Jeff was starting his own side

I know you guys come here daily for punk rock, ska, and hardcore tunes, but hear me out for a second.For those who don’t know, yesterday, a natural disaster hit Haiti in the form of a deadly 7.0 magnitude earthquake. Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere with 80% of the population living below the poverty line, and is already plagued with a bunch of problems. The death toll

Brash, irreverent, and gritty as all hell, Friends of Friends play melodic hardcore the way it was supposed to be played. These Tallahassee punks are giving away their “Deep Search” album for free on the web, and it is definitely worth your time to check it out.”Deep Search” contains 10 songs in 32 minutes of energetic sing along anthems that fans of Hot Water Music and Avail will be certain to

The Bouncing Souls and I go waaay back. Easily one of my favorite bands and home-state heroes since I’ve first heard their “Self Titled” when I was just getting into punk rock nearly 11 years ago, have always had a special place in my musical listening heart.Trying something a bit different in 2009, the Souls decided that they were going to release one song a month.

I don’t really listen to a lot of grindcore. The constant double bass drum, cookie monster vocals, and a lot of metal influence makes most grindcore kind of repetitive to me.

Man, what a New Year’s weekend it has been. On New Year’s Eve, I decided to skip work and go snowboarding (they’ve been bitching about me missing too many days, so it was pretty much out of principle) and then I wound up going again on Sunday.Hope you all have an awesome 2010, and I’m pretty stoked to see what music will be released this year.MP3:The Lawrence Arms – 100 ResolutionsBedouin

All I want is world peace, or a piece of the world (Name that quote for 500 nerd points!). Back in October, Star Fucking Hipsters released their newest album “Never Rest In Peace” on Alternative Tentacles, and I got to say, I’ve been listening to it a hell of a lot lately.You know the deal by now, all star line-up featuring Sturg Crack (Leftover Crack), Frank Piegaro (Degenerics), Nico de Gallo,
San Fransisco’s Fat Wreck Chords is pretty much a (punk) household name. Fat Mike of NOFX’s label helped change the relationship between bands and labels by offering one record deals, allowing a band to move on from the label after an album without any bullshit contract obligations and has been operating for almost 20 years now.

Jesus Chirst on a pogo stick! Municipal Waste has been one of my favorite bands for quite some time now, but for some reason, every time they come around, I can’t make the show. So needless to say, I was stoked out of my mind for this show.Only problem? I got home from work, and felt like complete shit.

I headed out to Long Island this weekend to go visit some good friends, and check out the house that they bought (note: it’s pretty sweet).On my way up, I made sure to listen to plenty of Billy Joel, and I’m sure I annoyed the shit out of my friends by how many times I said “look how pretty

Holy crapballs batman! When I reviewed Melt Banana’s Bambi’s Dilemma, I said I was going to post on one of my favorite Melt Banana albums soon, Cell Scape. I thought I did, but a quick search on Housewives has proven that I did indubitably forget. So, two years too late, here’s the jawn on Cell Scape.The fifth studio album released by the Japanese band, Cell Scape was released in 2003 and is in

Some Saturday nights you have no idea what you’re going to get into, and the next thing you know you’re in a house full of crust and mall punks drinking 40s, waiting to see NYC’s Star Fucking Hipsters. I headed down to South Philly’s Ava House at the very last minute on a whim, took some allergy medicine to deal with the smoke (up the Allegra punks!) and wound up making it just in time as Star

On Wed night, I headed down to South Philly’s Ava House to see Bomb The Music Industry on their “Bring Your Own Band” tour. On this tour, Jeff reverted back to BTMI olden days, where he would go on tour with just an MP3 player, and anybody who wanted to play along could bring their instruments. Unfortunately I did not have a kazoo or a triangle to play along.Curtis IrieWhen I walked in, Curtis

On Friday night, I headed out to Philly’s Starlight Ballroom in order to catch the Ska Is Dead Tour (a tour that I have caught practically every year it came around since their first one).

What an eccentric collection of songs. Dead To Me’s latest album: African Elephants is one hell of a whirlwind. There’s been a lot of jib-jab in the bowels of the internet about Dead To Me being stripped down to a three piece, and how it has changed the writing style of the band

Rapper mc chris is back with his 3rd and final installment of the “mc chris goes to hell” series: “Part Six Part Three”. It seems like on every installment the cartoon rapper takes influences from a different source, and this time around he’s pulling influences from more modern rap and Atari bleeps.While I usually hate skits on albums, the ones that have been featured in this series have actually

Thank god for shuffle mode on my mp3 player: I have way too much music that would simply be overlooked. Yesterday, I threw on shuffle mode in hopes to hear something I may have missed, and that’s when NoComply came on.How did I let this album slip from under my radar?

Some days, you just need some fucking Black Flag. Most people’s first thought when hearing the band Black Flag is Henry Rollins.
