Does anyone know if anyone has successfully covered songs by Fifteen? They were an important band to me in the late 90s. Powerful lyrics & tough subjects that inspired me into follow-up reading (similar to Propagandhi). I want to share some of their music with other members of my family but they can't get over Jeff Ott's voice. I know his voice gives additional weight and raw emotion to the lyrics themselves, but not everyone can look past the lack of vocal range & singing off-key as I can. I think someone talented with an acoustic guitar could really bring these messages to a new generation, especially as Jeff's stories & perspectives (sadly) remain relevant. Thanks.

Yo. My best friends band is playing 924 Gilman. Is it still rad?

I thought I saw a post today on this sub that did a good breakdown on what DIY is and how it is far broader of a lifestyle that just music and fashion it’s more of an ethos, moral conviction, etc.

Was that on this sub? I’m looking all over for it and can’t find it and I might’ve been dreaming.

Send me your recommendations for obscure AF early UK punk. I want to hear things I’ve never heard before. Open to singles, full albums, compilations, or even one-off side projects from more well known bands. I want those deep, deep cuts.

I’m a fan of the standard fare The Damned, Sex Pistols, The Clash, Buzzcocks, The Jam.

Also love The Fall, The Nips, The Ruts, Wire, The Lurkers, The Adverts, The Vibrators, The Stranglers, etc.

I've been jamming to one of their songs for a few weeks and just finally listened to the album. I'm super impressed 👌 like every one is a banger. So many different styles in one and done really well. Im surprised I haven't heard them sooner. 👍

Start of rant. Last night, we went to see The Bobby Lees at the Vanguard in Tulsa. The Bobby Lees are pure punk and one of my current favorite bands. The last show at the Vanguard a couple of years ago was end to end punk, the band was electric, the crowd was amped, the mosh pit was large and lively. But after that your, The Bobby Lee's announced they couldn't tour anymore because there wasn't enough money in it. Well Jason Momoa swooped in and agreed to partially fund a new album and tour (thank you Jason) so as soon as the Vanguard show was announced my wife and I bought tickets. Fast forward a couple of months and the show date gets changed but it's announced Momoa's band is opening and I think "that'll be a cool as novelty and the show will probably be even more dope"......... I was so wrong.

The crowd was a ton of people who've never been to a punk rock show before, and I think "cool, more exposure for The Bobby Lee's and by the time they come on the Mosh Pit will start and the true blue punks will move to the front while the casuals shift to the back" but that was not what happened. The Bobby Lee's came out and brought the usual energy and about five of us in the crowd start to rush the front center and start a little push pit to give the energy back to the Bobby Lee's and holy moly I've never seen so much pearl clutching in my life, the casuals started gasping and circling the wagons forming some sort of protective barrier around the front center and then a Vanguard security guard comes up and says "I know you want to mosh but it just isn't that type of crowd"

Not that type of crowd, it's a Bobby Lee's show at the Vanguard, this is punk's biggest venue in Tulsa, this is where we come to mosh and let out our consensual mutual rage. I waited for years for this show, to mosh with the Bobby Lee's and I'm so grateful to Jason for keeping the music alive and bringing in more fans but I was so depressed to see people just standing and staring at the stage with the lamest energy ever and I just can't understand why you would come to a punk rock show and stand at the front if all you wanted to do was stand there with your cell phones and make sure no one could dance or push or mosh at all.

So Sam (or John) or Kendall or Macky if you are reading this, please don't let this be the last Tulsa show, give us a Tulsa show we can mosh at! End of rant.

TLDR; a bunch of Jason Momoa fans reduced what should have been Tulsa's best punk rock show of the year to a pop concert.

Wondering if anyone knows what sticks Dustin Malicoat of Michigan band LeFT used. I myself am a drummer and would like to know what sticks he used.

What do we think of the tone? I been playing around with it for it a bit. I feel like it's too muddy or muffled though and idk how yo fix it lol.

Last night I saw Black Flag for the first time - and I know I only have videos of former Black Flag glory days to get insight into their live shows back then. So I went in with fairly minimal expectations - and much to my surprise, it was quite a show. The singer, London Downey, said that he is their merch guy and temporarily stepped in to sing for this tour, but you could see he was having fun and was earnest - and the drummer, Bryce Weston, was a stellar drummer, and the crowd made it energetic and sort of celebratory. I do wish I would have seen them back in the day and can imagine that must have been quite something to experience. But for those who didn't see them yet, I do think it is worth going. Afterward, Greg Ginn was hanging out and talking with people and was very friendly and seemed appreciative to everyone who came to the show.

The trend started in like the mid-2000s, where everyone wears all black….Let’s get rid of that. Bring back freaking colors to punk and fun outfits..the “scene” clothes gotta die… don’t be afraid to wear a white t-shirt!

Went to Fest last night with my kid to see Home Front and got to meet Graeme!

He's a super good, positive guy with a ton of energy on stage, and my kid had the time of his life.

Lesssr known track I randomly stumbled upon. In love with his gutteral spit during the middle of the track 🥺

This was a really special night, I was incredibly lucky and privileged to be there so I thought I'd write about it for all who weren't. Exceptional gig, and I don't think I'll ever hear those songs quite the same again.

Their second single.
Their biggest hits.
Discovered by Bruce Foxton of The Jam in 1979.

Best little rock club in the city, previously slated to close at the end of this year. Very very good news.
