Deb Frazin Photo Column—45 Grave
Do you want to party? Good, because IT’S PARTY TIME on October 20th!
Lorien Lamarr Photo Column—Truth Cult
By the end of the Truth Cult’s set, the vocalist was bleeding. I’m tempted to say this band is a danger to themselves and others, but in a satisfying way that I don’t want them to stop or even slow down.
Razorcake Podcast #661 with Chris Cox
A quick snapshot of some bands from Portland, Oregon.
Chuck Roast’s Punk Rock “Funhouse” by Daniel Makagon
Chuck Roast used his “Funhouse” radio show to help grow the punk rock scene in Houston in the early days of hardcore. The show reflected a desire to challenge listeners and social norms, while constantly under threat of cancellation by KPFT management.
On the road with Walt Hamburger by Lorien Lamarr
Walt Hamburger used to be best known for his role in the punk trio The Hamburgers. Working merch, at least once per show I explained that Hamburger was not Walt’s given surname, saying “It’s sorta like Joey Ramone, except instead of Ramone, he’s a Hamburger.”
Deb Frazin Photo Column—The Groans
The Groans have just released their new album Earth Dweller on Get Better Records! I hear influences of Team Dresch, a touch of The Breeders, and some Sonic Youth. The contrasting/intertwining vocals swirling around the album gives the songs a stirring, conspicuous streak throughout the album.
Daisy Noemi Photo Column—Aurat
Los Angeles band, Aurat (OH-RUT), meaning “Women” in Urdu, embraces the Urdu language with lyrics of its native language and nontraditional sounds.
