When you think of punk in its earliest, purest form, what bands come to mind? The Stooges, The Sex Pistols, The Ramones? How about The Dead Kennedy’s or The Clash? Forget all that nonsense. The Riverbottom Nightmare Band was punk af and would destroy all those bands in a knife fight. They wouldn’t think twice…
For better or for worse, I’ve never been an earplugs-at-concerts kind of guy, so when (not “if”) I eventually lose part of my hearing when I’m older, surely I’ll have METZ to blame/thank in part. Canadian punks and noise rockers METZ made a lot of noise up on The Outer Space Ballroom’s stage…and I mean a…
Otoboke Beaver, a group of feminist punks from Kyoto, Japan, are equal parts aggression and party fun. On their latest EP entitled “Love Is Short,” (their third release outside of Japan since forming in 2009) the group shows off its hyperactive hardcore tunes in just five minutes with the destructive title track and the bouncer-bass of…

It’s more anthemic, and perhaps a bit more accessible. For…
All things come in waves. While pop, EDM and reggae usually dominate my summers, rock is and always will be my first love, cleansing my pallet whenever my ears go astray. While perusing The Worley Gig, I was introduced to Milk Teeth – a UK-based foursome that is loud, punk and grungey as fuck. It’s…
Even though their sophomore album dropped in 2012, I recently heard White Lung’s Sorry disc just last week and it’s everything you’d want in a Rock offering. The band is a four piece from Vancouver, influenced by riot grrrl, post-punk and hardcore punk. Their music falls somewhere in between all of those, with a nice…
