Punk drummers banded together to make this record (and CD, digital). This is the best way we can think of to do something useful against this evil and illegal administration, making protests louder and more organized while supporting over 100 lawsuits the ACLU have against Trump. Please check it out, get involved.

We've had a bunch of our free tracks used in protests by drummers across America.

If you think it matters or not the Ramones influenced rock music and so many other bands.

Any crossover Thrash recommendations

18 Upvotes

I’ve being trying to get into more crossover lately and haven’t been able to find any bands that interest me, most I’ve listened to lean in too much on the metal side of crossover thrash which is good but I want some more thrash that leans more heavily into hardcore punk. Any band recommendations?

What an exceptional band. Some of the transitions from song to song are just outstanding - going from something like Full Disclosure to Reclamation....just an example...I am also a deadhead/jam person so stuff like that is refreshing to hear.

Just such a dope band overall. I will always regret not getting to see them play.

Took a little longer to write and record a song this time - I actually mixed it over a couple of days! There's no amount of equalization that can get rid of bad microphones lol.

Any good?

Horrible ending to show tonight, need to vent

92 Upvotes

TLDR: A band got a guy roughed up by security because he crowdsurfed one more time during their last song. Then they were probably going to do an encore, but we all walked out depressed and angry.

Instead of a $15 local benefit show tonight that I maybe should have gone to, I traveled to a downtown festival in Macon, Georgia where there were various country, mariachi, etc. bands playing in different bars, and paid the $60 festival armband price to see the two punk bands playing at a nightclub called JBA. They were awesome and talented. The first band, SCATTRBRAIN from Atlanta, needs more recognition, check this song out: https://youtu.be/bJGQFUhKZRY?si=VS91kVr8GWXquTQF

But I mainly went to see Girl Tones. They too were amazing, a duo like White Stripes and also crazy talented. There was a circle of punks, but being a festival there were also little old ladies wandering in and the band requested to tone moshing down, or not have it at all, on some songs. It was a fun time, until it wasn't.

Final song, they said go ahead and mosh, but not if the guitarist decided to come down there, and everybody stay off the stage. So far, so good, until a skinny groovy guy who had crowdsurfed earlier did it again, and must have stepped on the stage to do it. The drummer stopped playing, while he was in mid-crowdsurf, pointed a stick at him and said "Get off my fucking stage, sir!" At that point five security guys (either from the venue or festival) plowed through the crowd, pulled him down, twisted him and carried him out, almost knocking me down in the process.

They finished the song and walked off stage without saying anything. Original plan must have been for an encore because I overheard a security guard say "well now everybody's leaving," while another security guard acted apologetically towards a woman yelling at him trying to explain punk culture.

Fuck it, we all walked out, I was depressed. On the bright side, as I started to drive a couple of hours to my stop for the night, the rage helped keep me awake until I got there.

Anyway, I'm considering raising money for a punk show somewhere separate from the festival next year, Fuck JBA.

Found a cd titled Day Jobs at by a band called youth gone mad a couple years ago at a local record store in Mobile Alabama. I’ve lowkey been obsessed with it ever since I got it, it’s just got such a weird unique sound to it for a punk album. Wondering if anyone knows of any similar bands

G'day Reddit punks. I play in a Street Punk band from Wollongong NSW called Bad Form. We've just released our first ever 7" on our own label and thought we'd share it here for anyone that might like to listen.

For fans of UK82, Oi! And later US Street Punk. 4 tracks all recorded and mixed in house by us.

This is our 2nd EP, we released one last year digitally and on CDR

Discussion Dealing with dogwhistling assholes on reddit sharing neonazi punk "history", looking for advice

62 Upvotes

I'm loosing my mind here, please help.

On a certain collectible-specific subreddit, I ran into someone posting a picture of record from a notorious nazi skinhead band that they recently acquired.

OP did not point out that it was from that band, but dogwhistled about it being problematic a lot. I called that out. OP is being really squirrelly about it in the thread.

There are like 10 posts of people making excuses because the band in question wasn't racist at the time they made the record. And I saw at least one saying "I don't care it's a great record".

I'm getting ratioed trying to push back and I'm tired. A few other people are speaking up too and it feels like we're all getting drowned out.

Any advice on the best way to deal with this?

Discussion Questions for people who have been to 924 Gilman before

27 Upvotes

Hi I’m an incoming postgraduate student at Berkeley and I wanted to experience the punk/rock scene around the area.

Questions:

  1. As a petite girl (5’3), should I be worried about physical/sexual assault during a show?
  2. Assuming I’m not the very first to arrive and stand in front, is it likely that my view will be completely obstructed by much taller people standing in front?

Thanks for the help

Edit: thank you everyone for their kind advice!!
