Let's Fuck Shit Up!


Our dear friend Gregory Collins (Radio 4/Livids/Moral Panic) was in a bad recently, wrecking his ankle up something fierce. It looks as though surgery is in the cards, and he won't be able to work behind a bar, or play drums, for a quite while. Next Friday there's a benefit DJ party for him at Montana's Trail House with DJs Danny 2 Times, Jenny The Knife and Mr. Lee spinning hot wax. A cut of the bar goes towards our boy's medical expenses.

Falling Off The Face Of The Earth


THE ELECTRIC MESS
THE GTVs • THE LOW DOSES

"[The Electric Mess] have two excellent albums under their belt, both of which are filled with all the trappings of classic '60s punk — fuzz guitars, snotty vocals, and swirling organs abound — with a big slap of psychedelic coloring; think early Stones, Animals, 13th Floor Elevators, Seeds, Chocolate Watchband, and Lollipop Shoppe, as well as latter-day revivalists like The Chesterfield Kings, Cynics, Lyres, and The Miracle Workers." -Achilles In The Alleyway

Some Of Us Have Adrenalized Hearts


BORN LOOSE • LIVIDS • THE SHIRKS
(STOP WORRYING AND) LOVE THE BOMB

Featuring an all-star line up with Larry May (Candy Snatchers), Suke (Snuka/Iron Prostate/Candy Snatchers), Shane Konen (Live Ones/ Ghetto Ways) and Eric Robel (Heroin Sheiks/Nova Express), Born Loose comes out swinging with real and raging rock'n'roll. Definitely a fresh breath of air for all those dying in indie-rock land.

So perhaps you heard that Mr. Eric Davidson (New Bomb Turks) has a new band going with the likes of Jami Wolf (Shop Fronts/Zodiac Killers), Daniel Kelley (Dead Ringers/Complaints/Paper Bags), and Greg Collins (Radio 4/Milhouse). If you think that sounds kinda awesome, you’d be absolutely right! I mean, come on! The greatness of Livids was inevitable. This Brooklyn punk rock supergroup, well-known to tear shit up live, obviously if you’re a New Bomb Turks fan, you’ll dig. Davidson, a living legend if there ever was one, has never sounded better. And his star-studded band more than lives up to expectations. You could easily pass Livids off as forgotten punk greats from punk’s class of 1977.

Scuzzed-out Washington DC speed-punk primitivists don’t sound like a band that practices in the garage. The Shirks sound like a band that sets the garage on fire just to watch it burn. They’re the kind of guys who, asked to describe their sound, say simply, “loud.”

Formed somewhere between the Black Cat and Ben’s Chili Bowl in Washington, DC, (Stop Worrying And) Love The Bomb was born out of breakups. Sal Go’s and Mike’s old bands used to play shows together, so when the two met by chance at a Jay Reatard show in 2008, they talked bands, their respective failed relationships (Sal’s band/Mike’s girlfriend), and the new-foundabundance of free time on their hands. On the walk to get chili dogs after the show, they decided to form a band in the vein of The Reatards, Teengenerate, New Bomb Turks, blah blah blah. Sometimes the results have been in that ballpark, other times the sound is a little different, but it’s the same basic idea; short, fast, meat-and-potatoes punk.
