Turn on the 6 o’clock news

Chuck Treece and McRad will be playing a record release party in Hollywood on june 10th at Space 15Twenty. Flyer after the jump. New record? What label? Bigger flyer after the jump.

I can’t beleive there hasn’t been a skate rock song called “Wilson” before this new JFA tune on DC Jam records. I mean, House of Neil and I were in a skate rock band called McWIlson for the love of Hosoi, and we didn’t even think to write it. Watch the vid after the jump. […]

Agent Orange past and present

Agent Orange is playing Sunday 28th at Slabtown Bar in Portland, along with Grindline, the Band. Meanwhile, John Egertson was converting some old vinyl to mp3’s and pulled out this mail order sheet from Agen’t Orange’s This Is the Voice, their ill-fated 1986 semi-major label debut on Enigma records. I think these guys even had […]

Not exactly skate rock

I hate this band. I hate the music actually, but I saw a Behind the Music episode on them that made me change my opinion of them. They seem like decent enough fellows that had a dream, went for it, and actually made it. The music, not so great. Another image from the Vintage T-Shirts […]

They may look […]

Crisis of Conformity

Speaking of Dave Grohl, here’s a video featuring Mr Grohl from last weekend’s appearance on Saturday Night Live. The bit is the father of the bride getting his old 80’s band back together to play one song at his daughter’s wedding reception. Turns out his old band was hardcore. The premise is not too far […]

Flogging Molly with Patrick Melcher

Here’s an old Flogging Molly video for “Drunken Lullabies” featuring Patrick Melcher. Side One Dummy is about to release a double live CD and DVD titled Live at the Greek Theater. Preorder now and you can get a free t-shirt. What’s that? You want more Flogging Molly and skateboarding? How about Tony Hawk interviewing Matt […]

Muslim punks, Papal skateboarders

Taqwacore is both a fictional book described as “Catcher in the Rye” for young Muslims and a documentary film on the birth of Punk Islam. The trailer, press and web site weren’t as interesting as I had hoped. It’s all a little too slick and calculated, almost as if it’s being done because it’s such […]
