WHY ASK THE WIND
Keeping right along with our Detroit theme, let’s talk about OBN III‘s. Yeah, yeah…we know they’re from Austin, but ask us what band is doing the best MC5/Stooges sound right now. It’s OBN III’s, son…every time it’s OBN III’s. We’re still a little bummed they weren’t able to make it to Freakin’ Weekend this year,…

LET THEM EAT CAKE
How could you not love Urinal Cake Records? In the last few years, they haveve done as good a job as anyone in blasting the current sounds of Detroit out to the rest of the country [hello Protomartyr, Growwing Pains, Terrible Twos, Feelings, etc], and best of all, they do it with STYLE and CLASS….
THE RUNDOWN – 5.20.2014 – 6.25.2014
Friday comes early this week cos we’ve got FOUR sick shows today. PUJOL is at Grimey’s this evening, Natural Lion is at Fond Object after that, then there’s OFF! at Exit/In, and an after party at the Other Basement. Tomorrow will find Miss Strawberry Wine herself Deana Carter at the Basement (no shame) while Katey…
WITH THIS COMPUTER
Newest in the seemingly endless canon of compilations to document long gone punk scenes is EVERYTHING IS SHIT: Punk in Brussels 1977-79. With acts like The Kids and Elton Motello being near-household names in the punk world, it should come as no surprise that Belgium had such choice offerings so early on, but this compilation…

THE RUNDOWN – 5.12.2014 – 5.18.2014
This one’s starting off slow, but we’ll hit the ground running on Thursday with Juiceboxxx at the End and Lubber Boy at Betty’s. We’ll be back at the End on Friday for Ex-Cult, Weekend Babes, Slammers, and Waxed, and then Saturday will finally bring us PUJOL SUCKS III at the East Room featuring sets from PUJOL,…
ASHING OUT THE SUN ROOF
We know very little about All Gone Records from Detroit, and we’d say they probably want it that way. With little more online presence than a store and a Facebook page, they’re not exactly hogging anyone’s feed, but they do have enough quality releases to shine considerable light on some of the darker corners of the Motor City….
I JUST WANNA
So a couple months ago, we released a hot new single for Fox Fun just in time for Freakin’ Weekend V. Though it was only available at our Pop-up Shop that weekend, we promised you we would put the remaining copies on our online store, and the time has finally come. To refresh, the single…
THE RUNDOWN – 5.5.2014 – 5.11.2014
We got it good this week. Looking like there’s a good show just about every night. Tonight is Stone Jack Jones, Lylas, and Coupler at the Basment, tomorrow there’s the Music Band cassette release, Wednesday is Doug Tuttle and more at the Stone Fox, Thursday and Friday both have a slew of options, and then…
