WRITE A BOOK ABOUT IT
We probably already slept on this one a little too long – but NYC’s Goosebumps just had a new single – I Hate My Body – come out from Burn Books Records and it fucking slays. Songs about hating lots of different things and really just exhibiting some gnarly hardcore in a way that most…
HARVESTING SEASON
It’s getting to be that time of year again. Every year in later September/early October our buddies in Louisville gear up for their annual Cropped Out Festival: an eclectic and really impressive event showcasing some of the best current acts across the nation.

BEYOND THE WOODS

Watusi, and Woods [plus a whole lot more] We got our first taste of Woods’ new record – Bend Beyond…
FOR HEAVY’S SAKE
Well, here’s another GonerFest band that’ll be making a quick stop in Nashville around the same time [add that to the list with Spits, Nobunny, Bad Sports, Ex-Cult] Chicago’s Heavy Times released a pretty stellar first effort on HoZac last year with Jacker, an album that exhibited their ability to make some pretty catchy 90s-infused…

Russ and Lea have been crafting their disheveled pop songs for…

It’s been a little while since we’ve heard from our favorite jerkhead Mr. Vex Ruffin – his Crash Course EP from Stones Throw a little while ago was pretty spot-on and we’re still finding ourselves enamored with his In Your Stereo single from a couple years ago. So as you could probably guess, we’re excited…
SHAKEDOWN DENT
Master P once said, “Them boys from the south got golds in they mouth. Don’t trust them when there’s a drought, ’cause them boys will take you out.” And though those sentiments are often true, it’s not exactly the case for our buddies down in Oxford, MS. Dent May has been a part of Mississippi’s…
